New York Liberty -8.5 (-114)

The New York Liberty (18-6, 8-2) are coming off a home loss against the Minnesota Lynx, 88-83. The Lynx were without star Napheesa Colier, and suffered several injuries during the matchup. Liberty guard, Sabrina Ionescu hit 7-14 three-point shots, including a few towards the end of the game. New York was able to cut the deficit to three, however, the team could not get into a rhythm all game, and shot 28.6 percent from the three, and 36 percent from the field. The Liberty are 8-2 on the road, and face a Sparks team who is 9-15, and 7-6 at home. Los Angeles won two straight games against Indiana, and this will be the first matchup of the season for the two teams.

Prediction

Sparks guard, Lexie Brown will be out for today's game against New York. In 12 games played, Brown averages 12.4 points, and 2.4 assists.

New York lost a tough matchup against Minnesota, however, won 8 out of their 10 games, and 4 of the last 5 games played. New York covered the -9.5 against Atlanta, -13 against Indiana, and -10 against Seattle. The Liberty are second best offensive team in the league, while the Sparks rank near the bottom. With Brown out for the game, Los Angeles is a team that averages under 80 points a game. From June 28 to July 22nd, Los Angeles went on an eight-game skid, and only covered the spread once in the last ten games. The Sparks covered the -2.5 spread against Indiana, who is 6-18. I grabbed the line early, and I think New York could potentially cover by more than -8.5. With Courtney Vandersloot back in the lineup for New York, I expect them to bounce back, and find their rhythm.

Seattle Storm +4.5 (-114)

The Seattle Storm have a record of 5-19, 3-8 Away, and faces the Indiana Fever, with a record of 6-18, 1-7 Home. The Storm recently snapped a ten-game skid, and defeated the Chicago Sky Saturday, 83-74. The Storm is 1-9 in their past ten games, however, the Storm covered five, including against the Liberty (Twice), Sky, Dream and Aces. Seattle had a 15-point lead on Tuesday, and ultimately lost against New York. Seattle had four players with points in double figures against Chicago, including Jewell Loyd, Ezi Magbegor, Sami Whitcomb, and Gabby Williams.

  • Seattle Net Rating: -8.7 (11th)
  • Indiana Net Rating: -5 (8th)

Prediction

The Seattle Storm and the Indiana Fever are two of the worst teams in the league, especially on the defensive end. Both teams are 1-9 in their past ten games, and I don't expect this to be a barnburner. Indiana defeated the Storm in their only matchup of the season 80-68 and covered the -4 point spread. Though Seattle suffered a brutal ten game skid, they cover high spreads against good teams. I am impressed with the way Seattle played against Chicago, and against New York. Indiana is currently on a three-game losing streak, in which they only covered the spread once. If I had to pick a side, I'm, going with Jewell Loyd and Magbegor. The Storm are 4-1 ATS in their last five games, and 13-10-1 ATS this season.

Connecticut Sun vs. Minnesota Lynx UNDER 160.5- (-110)

The Connecticut Sun (18-6, 8-3 Home) will take on the Minnesota Lynx (12-13, 6-5 Away) the next couple of games at home. Both teams are coming off two game win streaks, including Ironically, the Connecticut Sun defeated the Dallas Wings, 88-83.

Prediction

The Connecticut Sun are 2-0 against the Minnesota Lynx this season (89-68, 89-84). The Sun covered the -4 spread the last game, and Minnesota with the +6 in the first matchup. Both teams are coming off a two-game win streak, in which the over hit for both. Although the Minnesota Lynx are without their star, Napheesa Collier, they hit the over in three straight games. Connecticut is averaging 85 points a game, and Minnesota with 82 in their last ten games. Minnesota is one of the worst defensive teams in the league, while the Connecticut Sun are the one the best on both sides of the court. I expect Connecticut to play defense and hold Minnesota today. Give me the under

Atlanta Dream -7.5 (-115)

The Atlanta Dream is coming off a tough loss against the New York Liberty, 95-84, in which they could not cover the +9 spread. Washington remains without forward Elena Delle Donne, and dropped two straight matchups, against the Dallas Wings, and Minnesota Lynx. Atlanta is 13-11-0 against the spread this season and covered the spread six times since July 2nd. The Atlanta Dream, (13-11, 6-6 Home) stands 5th in the WNBA, and will take on the Washington Mystics (12-12, 4-8 Away) at home.

Prediction

The series is split 1-1 between the Atlanta Dream and the Washington Mystics. In the previous matchup, Atlanta defeated Washington, 94-89, and covered the +2 spread. Mystics forward, Elena Delle Donne will be out with an injury, and had two monster games against the Dream. Delle Donne averaged 28 points per game and will be a big piece missing for today's game. The Dream went on a six-game win streak from July 2 to July 18, and are 6-5 against the spread in the last ten games. Washington lost two spreads in a row, have a ton of injuries, and got blown out their last game, 90-62 against Dallas. The Dream have a better record at home, at 6-6, and have an overall record of 13-11-0 against the spread.

Prediction

The Dallas Wings and the Las Vegas Aces are two of the top teams in the WNBA. The series is split 1-1, and Dallas covered both high spreads in two matchups. The Wings are 4-1 and 8-2 against the spread in the last ten games, and +10.5 seems a little high. Both teams rank top three in offensive rating, and Dallas is first in rebounding. The Aces are undefeated at home, and the Wings are 5-7 on the road. Both teams are top four in defensive rating. I expect Dallas to cover the +10.5 tonight.
