The Aces strike first

The first half of game one of the WNBA Finals was an absolutely dog fight. The New York Liberty outscored the Las Vegas Aces 25-22 in the first quarter, and commanded a three point lead at half time. On a 15-6 run in the first, the Liberty controlled the rebounds, along with points in the paint. For New York, Jonquel Jones scored 12 first half points, along with nine rebounds. Marine Johannès, an unlikely hero, scored 14 first half points on 4-5(80 percent) three-point shooting. Jones and Sabrina Ionescu were limited to just 7 points combined in the half, in which New York shot 11 percent from three. Ionescu played extremely well against Vegas all season, and is a vital factor on the offensive for New York. Johannes hasn't had a large role in the postseason, however she plays incredible agains the Aces.

New York kept things close through the first half

The Las Vegas Aces only gained momentum as time passed, in which they outscored the Liberty 26-16 in the third quarter. Led by Jackie Young with 12 points, Las Vegas stayed discliplined on the rebounds and defense. Not one Liberty player scored in double figures, nor did the team have one made three pointer. While the Aces shot 60 percent from the field, and over 40 percent from long range, the Liberty struggled. After three lead changes, Las Vegas took their energy into the final quarter.

In the second half, the Aces outscored the Liberty 53-33, in which New York couldn't answer on the defensive end. Vegas out rebounded their opposition 19-13, and controlled paint points, 24-12. In the third and fourth quarters, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Kelsey Plum combined for 38 points, 4 steals, 9 assists, and 9 rebounds. With black jersey's surrounding the basket, Vegas did an excellent job of securing the defensive rebounds, and capitalized on offense. The Aces did an excellent job gathering the fouls at the rim, finishing 11-13 at the free-throw line second half. Overall, Young and Plum simply couldn't be stopped in the paint.

The Aces shined in game one

Game one was an all around dominant game by the Aces. In an offensive showing, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young combined for 72 total points. Their core four, which includes , scored 91 points total on 32-58 (55 percent) field goal shooting. Former No. 1 overall pick Kelsey Plum attempted 19 shots, which is higher than her norm. In the regular season, Plum, Gray and Young averaged a combined 48.9 points, more than 23 points less than game one.

The Liberty couldn't find their flow of their offense through the second half, and struggled immensely on defense. With Breanna Stewart leading the way with 21 points, Betnijah Laney and Sabrina Ionescu were held to a combined 18 points. All five of New York's starters were negative +/- on the court, and Jonquel Jones was again limited to second half points. For a team that captured the best win loss record post All-Star Break, New York looked unrecognizable on both sides of the ball. It will be crucial for New York to involve Laney, as well as Sabrina, two core players of this team.

Where and how to watch the game

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 9 p.m. ET, at Michelob ULTRA Arena, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you're betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN. For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

Liberty +5 (-110)

Similar to game one, the New York Liberty are the underdogs by five points. They will matchup against the Las Vegas Aces, who once again have home court advantage for game two. Aces -5.5 is a strong play, along with the outright money line. New York has never lost consecutive games in a row, and I expect this game to be a lot closer of a matchup. With a majority of the public betting on the Aces money line, it's hard to fade that, especially with their recent game play.

New York is 3-2 against the spread against Vegas in their last five games, and the spread is split 5-5 over the last ten. There are a combined 32 all-star selections among both teams. Therefore, it'a hard to imagine another blow out for the Aces. New York has plenty of talent and depth to keep up the Vegas, now they just need to excecute tonight.

New York won the Commisioner's Cup in Vegas

The Liberty are excellent executing out the gate, and are notorious for losing leads in the second half of games. Let's face it, both teams were at the top in several statistical categories with the best win/loss records. With the Aces undefeated in their last ten, and the Liberty 1-4 against the spread, I could see why the public is highly in favor of Las Vegas.

Statistics aside, New York won the Commissioners Cup on the road against Vegas, and covered the +7.5 spread. For New York, it's doable, and here's the reason why. Over five regular season matchups, including the Cup, New York has a 36 point differential lead over the Aces. Divide that by five games, thats an average seven points per game. In four matchups excluding the Cup, the Liberty still hold a 24 point differential over Vegas. Over four games, that an average of six points.

Why the Liberty will cover the spread

With the Aces undefeated, the Liberty were tested in their previous matchups between Connecticut and Washington. Although tonight won't be an easy task, New York and Las Vegas finished the regular season and the top two teams in offensive and defense rating. In four season matchups, New York averaged 87.3 points on 38.7 percent three point shooting. Having led the Aces in rebounds, controlling the boards, tempo, and inside scoring will be key tonight.

The Liberty were 6-1 on the season, and 1-0 in the playoffs off two days rest. Statistically, the Liberty have performed their best based on two days of rest. In that time span, New York is averaging 92 points on 50 percent field goal shooting in the playoffs. Much to their advantage, the Aces have performed their worst off two days rest this postseason. Vegas only averages 75.5 points on 40 percent field goal shooting. Only 2-5 against the spread this postseason, the Liberty are due to cover here. Never been the underdogs in back to back games, New York will look to even up the series tonight.

Tomorrow is game two of the WNBA semifinals between the New York Liberty (0-1, 0-1 Home) and the Connecticut Sun (1-0, 1-0 Away). Best of five games, the Liberty will have another home matchup. With New York favored by six, the Connecticut Sun utilized their defense, in which they defeated New York 78-63 in game one. With coach Sandy Brondello calling the loss "the worst game of the year," the Liberty were held to a season low 63 points.

In Rebecca Allen's return to New York, No. 9 scored 18 points, and 4-6 from downtown. For Connecticut, DeWanna Bonner had a team high 20 points, three blocks, one steal, and seven rebounds. A collective team effort on both ends of the floor, the Sun had 7 blocks and steals as a unit, and forced New York to turnover the ball 14 times. The Sun, led by Stephanie White, limited the Liberty to zero fast break points, and four points in the paint throughout the second half of the matchup.

The Liberty struggled in Game One

For New York, all five starters finished negative +/- on the court, in which their offense was stale and stagnant the entire night. With no sense of flow or consistency, Breanna Stewart was held to 7-25 field goal shooting, in which she missed all eight three-point shots. Jonquel Jones was limited to four second half inside points, and Courtney Vandersloot with seven. Sabrina Ionescu finished 50 percent from the three, however, was bottled up a majority of the night, and didn't score inside the perimeter. Betnijah Laney, had 19 points, two steals, and two blocks in their last victory against Connecticut. On Sunday, Laney was held to three points. Overall, the Connecticut Sun found their rhythm offensively, created stops defensively, and the New York Liberty looked unrecognizable.

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 8 p.m. ET, at the Barclays Center, located in Brooklyn, New York. If you're betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN.

WNBA Odds Game 2: New York Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun

WNBA Semifinals Series Odds: New York Liberty vs. Connecticut Sun

^{Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook}

New York Liberty -8.5 (-114)

Game two should be a classic bounce back performance for the New York Liberty. In front of a sellout crowd of 9,442, the New York Liberty were held to a season low 63 points. In the loss, New York's offense looked unrecognizable, as they finished the night shooting under 35 percent from the field. All five starters struggled offensively, including Breanna Stewart and Betnijah Laney. With the best of five series, this is a must win for New York, who will need to utilize home court advantage, before heading to Connecticut on Friday. With the playoffs, it starts off at 0-0, and its often hard to gauge the outcomes this time of the year. I will utilize last night's matchup, in the addition to the four regular season games to formulate my best bets for Tuesday.

Connecticut made sure to shut down New York's production inside the paint by Jonquel Jones second half of the game. For the first half of the matchup, we saw Jones utilize her size and strength inside, in which No. 35 finished with 10 points. New York has gone cold from three-point shooting, especially the last two games. Breanna Stewart, an MVP candidate, finished 0-8 from the field, Betnijah Laney, 1-9, and Sabrina Ionescu 4-14 from the field. Through four playoff games, Connecticut remains second in defensive rating (94), and leads in opponent points per game (70). Even with Connecticut playing tough defense, it's hard to envision New York reliving their underwhelming offensive performance.

Why New York will cover

New York still ranks fourth in offensive rating (103) in four playoff games, and fourth in defensive rating (100). In multiple regular season games, the Liberty were 3-1 against the spread against Connecticut. In the meetings, the Liberty averaged 88.5 points, 40 rebounds, and 23.3 assists in four victories. Additionally, they shot 48.4 percent from the field, and 34.7 percent from the field. It's extremely hard to envision this offense limited again, which consists of multiple former MVPs, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. New York has the stardom with Sabrina Ionescu, Courtney Vandersloot, and Betnijah Laney in the backcourt.

In four playoff matchups, the New York liberty are 2-2 against the spread, and the Connecticut Sun 3-1. For a team that ranks second in perimeter defense this post season, expect New York to tightly guard DeWanna Bonner, in addition to Ty Harris, Rebecca Allen, and Natisha Hiedeman.

Jonquel Jones to record a double-double (-105)

Season Stats vs CT: PPG: 13 | FG: 50 % | 3 PT: 25 % | FT: 88.9 % | REB: 8.8 | AST: 8 | STL: 0.5 | BLK: 2.3

If there's any prop bet, I'm confident in, it's Jonquel Jones. Although the Connecticut Sun limited her looks in the second half, Jones had several inside buckets, including ten first half points. No. 35 has significant size and strength advantage against Connecticut. The biggest threat to Jones besides Bonner will be Olivia Nelson Ododa, who finished with one block and two steals last matchup.

In New York's game two win against Washington, the Liberty relied heavily on Jones, including putting her at the point. Last game, there was some success with the pick and roll between Jones and Breanna Stewart. Although the Sun are the best team in the playoffs in terms of opponent points in the paint (28.5), I would expect Jones to utilize her size, and draw fouls early on. In the postseason, Jones has shown how crucial she is to this New York team, especially when the outside shots aren't falling. The Liberty forward is averaging over 17 points and 12 assists in the past three games. With Connecticut as one of the top defensive teams, look for the offense to flow through Jonquel Jones.

Why this prop will hit

Jones is coming off three straight double-doubles, including two against Washington. In four regular season matchups, Jones hit this prop 50 percent against the Sun, and twelve games, including the Commissioners Cup victory over Las Vegas. One of the only bright spots for the Liberty in game one, expect Jones to be highly involved Tuesday night.

One team will be eliminated from the playoffs tonight

Tonight, is game three of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Connecticut Sun (1-1, 1-1 Home)?and the?Minnesota Lynx (1-1, 1-1 Away).? After sealing a game one victory, the Lynx defeated the Sun 82-75 on the road. In a low scoring affair, Minnesota had 54 combined points from Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride. For the Sun, DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas collectively scored 50 points. Once down by sixteen points in the third quarter, Connecticut was able to capitalize off turnovers and narrow the deficit to two points in the fourth. Through 40 minutes, the Lynx dominated on the rebounds, and scoring in the paint.

Connecticut couldn't get the stops they needed in the third quarter, which gave Minnesota a majority of the momentum. Kayla McBride had seven points alone, including two looks in the paint. Collier made a statement in the first ten minutes, with 10 points. As the Sun chipped away, Collier drained a two-point shot with 2:12 to go in final regulation. Under two minutes, Connecticut was unable to exploit the opposing defense, and missed a key three-point jumper and a driving layup. In a playoff format like the first round, there's zero room for error, and we saw that with the Sun.

?In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 8 p.m. ET, at Target Center, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ?If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on?ESPN.?For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

Playoff Stats:?PPG:?20.5?| FG:?51.5 %?| 3 PT:?0 %?| FT:?63.6 %?| REB:?5.5?| AST:?8?|STL:?3?| BLK:?1

If there's one player prop bet I'm confident in, it's Alyssa Thomas over points and assists. A current MVP candidate, Thomas had 26 points, and 6 assists, on 10-18 shooting, in Game two against Minnesota. Over the course of the playoffs, the Suns point forward averages over 20 points a game, and nearly six assists per game. In game one, No. 25 put up an impressive stat line, with another double-double. Through 37 minutes, Thomas added 15 points, and 10 assists on 7-15 field goal shooting. The Sun will now face the Lynx on the road, in a critical game three.

Over 24.5 points and assists hit in the first two playoff games for Thomas, and three of the last five matchups. In the month of August, Thomas hit this prop seven of eleven games. In four regular season matchups against the Lynx, the prop hit three of the four games. Thomas averaged 17.3 points, 36.6 minutes, and 10.3 assists in four games against the Lynx this year. On the road against Minnesota, No. 25 averaged 15.5 points, 34.2 minutes, and 9 assists. It's important to note, Alyssa Thomas shot 48 percent from the field, which is three percent more on the road. Last matchup, Thomas played a full 40 minutes, in which she had 18 field goal attempts. I expect her to be on the court until the very last second tonight, win or lose.

Why over points and assists will hit

In a possible elimination game, Alyssa Thomas will have the ball in her hands tonight. Last game, we saw her take control when the Sun were down points, in which the forward trekked to the free-throw line seven times. Over the course of the season, Thomas has performed consistently well against Minnesota. She had back-to-back triple doubles, a first in WNBA history, and will face a Lynx team who ranked 10th in defensive rating. Given Thomas loves driving to the hoop, the Lynx allowed the 8th most points in the paint this year (36.7).

In 40 regular season games, the All-Star averaged 15.6 points and 7.4 assists on the road. Her field goal percentage is higher on the road, along with free-throw attempts. With eight teams in the playoffs, Minnesota has the 5th worst defensive rating (107.8) and is allowing the Sun to shoot 45 percent through two matchups. She will most likely be matchup up with Napheesa Collier, who ranked in the bottom 113 in defensive rating (103.7). With Jessica Shepard out with an injury, Dorka Juhasz will have the task of guarding both Thomas and Bonner as a rookie.

In a critical game such as tonight's matchup, the ball will absolutely be in the hands of Alyssa Thomas. Not a stranger to elimination games, No. 25 thrives for these types of moments. I can't think of another player to trust in a must win game, who has several skill sets. Hiedeman, Allen, and Hayes all must step up besides Thomas and Bonner.

Why over field goal attempts will hit

With Connecticut's offensive primarily flowing through Alyssa Thomas at the point forward position, No. 25 is averaging 38.4 minutes and 16.5 field goal attempts through two playoff matchups against Minnesota. On the road, Thomas averaged only 12.5 field goal attempts on the road. That's been a different story against the Minnesota Lynx. Thomas averaged 14.5 field goal attempts in four matchups, and with elimination on the line, I expect Thomas to hit this prop, especially with the high volume of minutes played. Given she isn't a three-point threat, I expect her to find her way to the basket, especially given Minnesota was the 8th worst team against points in the paint.

Connecticut Money Line (-235)

The Minnesota Lynx forced a game three after their defeat over the Sun. Overall, Connecticut is 14-6 on the road, and the Lynx are under .500 at 9-11 at home. Even though the Sun performed inferior on the road, they had stronger numbers at the Target Center.

Despite dropping game two against Minnesota, Connecticut won the regular season series 3-1, and two of those victories came in Minneapolis. In two away games against the Lynx, the Sun averaged 89 points, 34.5 rebounds, 20.5 assists, and 39.6 percent from three. In matchups at home against Minnesota, the Sun only averaged 81 points, 33 rebounds, and 18.9 percent from the three. Yes, you read that correctly, Connecticut shot over 20 percent more efficiently from the three on Minnesota's home court.

Despite the injury to Brionna Jones, Connecticut formulated a plan and were the No. 3 seed in the WNBA. Coach of the year, Stephanie White led the Sun to 27 wins, in which they finished a top defensive team. The playoffs are completely different, and the Sun will have a tough matchup on the road, regardless of their statistics. Minnesota has key pieces around Collier and McBride, including Diamond Miller and Dorka Juhasz.

With the Connecticut Sun one year removed from the WNBA finals, I have full confidence they will win this game outright. With the season on the line, the offensive and defense will flow through Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner tonight. Connecticut was the 5th best in terms of clutch rating this season. The playoffs are all about who's peaking at the right time, and this should be a competitive matchup tonight. If Connecticut can defeat the Lynx on the rebounds, Minnesota was ranked the worst team against opponent second chance points per game (12.3).

Tonight, is Game two of the first-round WNBA Playoffs between the Dallas Wings (1-0, 1-0 Home) and the Atlanta Dream (0-1, 0-1 Away). The Dallas Wings, originally the Detroit Shock, are in their third straight playoff appearance, in which they lost in the first round the last two years. Led by head coach Latricia Trammell, Dallas will look to advance to the semifinals with a victory against Atlanta. In the last matchup, Dallas overcame a 20-point deficit, and defeated the Dream 94-82. Both Dallas and Atlanta shot over 40 percent from the three-point range. With tonight possibly an elimination game for Atlanta, can they force a game three?

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 9 p.m. ET, at College Park Center, located in Arlington, Texas. If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN. For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

WNBA Game 2 Odds: Wings vs. Dream

^{Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook}

Dallas Wings -6.5 (-110)

The Dallas Wings swept the Atlanta dream in four regular season games, in which they covered the spread in each. Down by 20 points in game one, the Wings rallied back to take the victory over Atlanta. Dallas outscored Atlanta 28-13 in the second quarter, and 27-12 in the final quarter.

Dallas, the top rebounding team in the league, dominated on the rebounds, 44-32, and capitalized off inside scoring, and fast break points. Even down points, Dallas managed to seal the victory, and covered the spread by 12 points. Forward Satou Sabally erupted for 32 points, 4 steals, and 5 rebounds, on 11-20 and 3-5 three-point shooting. Dallas guard, Arike Ogunbowale, who's been sensational all season, added 24 points, 4 steals, and 9 rebounds on 10-23 field goal shooting. She had 11 points in the second quarter, and 15 in the first. Center Teaira McCowan scored 17 points, along with 14 rebounds.

For Atlanta, Rhyne Howard led the way with 36 points, 3 steals, and 4 assists. Allisha Gray was a force on the defensive end, with 3 steals, 7 rebounds, and 21 points. Atlanta Dream finished the matchup shooting close to 50 percent from three-point shooting.

Why the Dallas Wings will cover

Dallas was able to secure the victory and cover, despite Atlanta shooting lights out from downtown. Overall, the Wings are the superior team. Their prolific rebounding skills creates second chance opportunities, which was a key factor in paint domination. Never a strong shooting team beyond the perimeter, Dallas shot 41.2 percent from three. With Satou Sabally playing as well as she's playing, along with Ogunbowale, it's hard to fade Dallas here. This season, Dallas finished 20-19-1 against the spread, and has covered in four straight games.

Over the past ten games, the Wings are averaging 92 points, and the Storm 93. With home court advantage, Dallas finished the season 11-9 at home, and 10-10 against the spread in front of their home fans.

In three games against the Dream this season, the Wings averaged 88 points, 43.3 rebounds, 19.2 assists, 7.3 steals, and shot 42 percent from the field. With three-point shooting as their weakness, they make up for it on the rebounds. The Atlanta Dream ranked 8th in the WNBA in three-point shooting (33.6), and I don't see them repeating their last performance. In three matchups against Dallas, Atlanta averaged 76 points, and shot less than 30 percent from downtown. In a must win game, I do think Atlanta will keep things fairly close. However, they are 8-11 against the spread in road games. The closest Atlanta came to covering the spread in all matchups against Dallas was seven points back on May 20.

Sara Jane Gamelli — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 15:45:59 +0000

The Connecticut Sun will matchup against the Minnesota Lynx at home for game 2. Here, you will find the WNBA betting odds, stats, trends, player prop bets, and predictions for Sunday, Sept. 17.

Written and edited by

Sara Jane Gamelli

Tonight is Game 2 of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Connecticut Sun (1-0, 1-0 Home) and the Minnesota Lynx (0-1, 0-1 Away). The Connecticut Sun defeated the Minnesota Lynx 90-60, in game 1, in group fashion. For the Sun, they had five players with points in double figures, and 23 off the bench. Connecticut Head Coach, Stephanie White, named WNBA coach of the year, couldn't have asked better from her squad. With 30 field goal attempts, Connecticut shot 47.3 percent from the field, and over 53 percent from three. An all-around team effort, the Sun forced Minnesota to turn the basketball over 19 times and limited their ball movement to 13 assists.

For Minnesota, they struggled in several aspects. Unable to knock down shots, the Lynx were held to 35 percent field goal and 20 percent three-point shooting. Connecticut, a top defensive team, held the Lynx in check, in which they only had two players with points in double figures. Unable to secure the ball, Minnesota couldn't get any sort of momentum going. If they lose tonight, Connecticut Sun will move on. With a Lynx victory, they will force game three at home.

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 1 p.m. ET, at Mohegan Sun Arena, located in Uncasville, Connecticut. If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN.

Playoff Stats: PPG: 15 | FG: 46.7% | 3 PT: 0 % | FT: 25 % | REB: 3 | AST: 10 |STL: 5 | BLK: 0

Alyssa Thomas, in her 10th season with the Connecticut Sun, found herself in the middle of the tight MVP race. Her playstyle is unique and has been fairly consistent in the regular season, into the playoffs. In the 90-60 game 1 victory against Minnesota, Thomas had 15 points, 10 assists, 5 steals, and 3 rebounds. This prop hit in six out of the last ten games, including the last matchup against the Lynx.

In five total matchups against Minnesota, including the playoffs, this prop hit four times. In the best of three games, expect Alyssa Thomas to play anywhere between 37 and 40 minutes tonight. With her ability to get to the lane, expect No. 25 to score, and dish to Bonner, Hayes, and Allen, who all had points in double figures. In the last two games, Tyasha Harris has played remarkable.

Already having back-to-back triple doubles against the Lynx this season, Thomas will look to build off that momentum here in game 2. The point forward averaged 8.5 assists at home, and 15.6 points at home. Of all players, Thomas played the greatest number of minutes in game 1 and attempted 15 field goal shots. With her volume of minutes alone, I like over 23.5 points and assists here.

— Connecticut Sun (@ConnecticutSun) September 17, 2023

Game 1 of the playoffs between the Connecticut Sun and the Minnesota Lynx was an absolute defensive showdown by Connecticut. After a close first quarter, the Sun changed the narrative in the second and final quarter. Shutout 90-60, the Lynx put up 32 points by halftime, compared to the Suns 46. With all the turnovers, lack of rhythm, and shooting woes, Minnesota and Connecticut totaled 78 points in the first half.

Through 40 regular season games, the Connecticut Sun average 42.7 points in the first half, and the Minnesota Lynx 41. Collectively, this averages out to 83.7 first half points. In four season matchups between the two, Minnesota tallied an average of 38.3 points through the first half, and Connecticut, 42.3 points. In home games against the Lynx, White's squad averaged 40.5 points in the first half. Similarly, the Lynx were more efficient on road games, averaging 39 points through the first half in two games at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Why the first half over will cover

Two factors stuck out to me following the first game. Connecticut Shot incredible from downtown, and Minnesota couldn't buy a bucket. The Lynx have to find a way to get Napheesa Collier going, who was just 5-12 with 14 points. Kayla McBride finished with 16 points, however, Diamond Miller and Dorka Juhasz couldn't find their stride. Without Jessica Shepard and Lindsay Allen, the Lynx are left with less depth and offensive power. Though Minnesota hit the under in the last two matchups, they finished the season at 23-17-0 against totals.

For Connecticut, they finished the season 22-18-0 against the over/under. With elimination on the line for Minnesota, today should be a battle between the two teams. If they hit 78 combined points, with the Lynx struggling last game, I have full confidence the over first half points to hit today. Look for Minnesota to bring all of their energy, it what could be a season ending game.

WNBA Game 1 Odds: New York Liberty (2) vs. (7) Washington Mystics

^{Brandon Todd/New York Liberty}

Tomorrow is Game 1 of the WNBA Playoffs Round-Round between the New York Liberty (32-8, 15-5 Home) and the Washington Mystics (19-21, 7-13 Away). The first of three games, the New York Liberty will look to bring their first ever WNBA title to New York City. In their third straight playoff appearance, the Liberty finished 8-2 down the stretch. Having lost in the first round the past season seasons, New York will face Washington, who will make their second straight playoff appearance. 2019 WNBA Champions, the Mystics finished 5-5, including a 90-88 victory over the Liberty last game of the season.

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET, at the Barclays Center, located in Brooklyn, New York. If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN2.

Liberty vs. Mystics O 162.5 (-111)

The New York Liberty

The New York Liberty proved they were an elite team, finishing with a record of 32-8, and 15-5 at home. After finishing with their best record in franchise history, New York will matchup with the 7th seed Washington Mystics at home. New York, who acquired Jonquel Jones, and signed Breanna Stewart and Courtney Vandersloot in the offseason, have a clear vision of winning a title. With only 5 losses at home, one came against the Washington Mystics, in the final game of the regular season.

Led by head coach Sandy Brondello, the Liberty were outstanding all season. Since the All-Star break, New York finished 18-4, first in the WNBA, and lead in offensive rating (112.2). In key areas, the Liberty dominated the league in rebounds (38.7), assists (23.9), three-point attempts (31.5), and three-pointers made per game (11.6). Next to the Los Angeles Sparks, New York finished second in three-point percentage (36.9) since the break. Through the month of August, the Liberty were a league best 9-1, and led the league in offensive rating, defensive rating, net rating, assist percentage, assists to turnover ratio, and rebound percentage. Their 17.7 net rating through August was the highest of any team, and 12.3 points more than the Aces. The Washington Mystics had a net rating of -4.4 over that time span.

The Washington Mystics

The Washington Mystics remain one of the most intriguing teams in this year's playoffs. Riddled with Injuries, the Mystic have Elene Delle Donne and Ariel Atkins back in the starting lineup. Washington recently lost Shakira Austin and Kristi Toliver, both to injuries. The Mystics run a three-guard lineup, which consists of Natasha Cloud, Brittney Sykes, and Ariel Atkins. The three-guards account for 40 points and 50 percent of the team's total offensive. With Delle Donne and Austin played a combined 50 games, Washington could be a dark horse this year.

The Mystics, led by Eric Thibault, managed to keep up with the Liberty in all four of their matchups. In their last victory, both Austin and Toliver were out, with knee and hip injuries. After a 19-21 record to close out the year, the Mystics were 7-13 in away games. One of the least efficient teams on the rebounds, Washington finished 7th in offensive rating (99.9), and 5th in defensive rating (100.3).

Overall, it's hard to envision the series split, when the Liberty's net rating is more than 11 points higher than the Mystics. Since the All-Star break, Washington regressed defensively, sliding to 7th in defensive rating (103). We saw the effect of Elena Delle Donne against Breanna Stewart, in which No. 30 shot 4-17 in their last matchup. Ariel Atkins, Delle Donne, and Natasha Cloud were all part of the 2019 championship and are no stranger to playoff games. Although I won't take Washington to win the MoneyLine out right, their health will be the biggest x-factor.

Season Matchups

The season series is split 2-2 between the New York Liberty and the Washington Mystics. In four matchups against Washington, New York averaged 84.3 points, and shot 31.3 percent from three, and 39.9 percent from the field. Both shooting percentages are specifically lower than their regular season average. In two home matchups, the Liberty averaged 90 points a game, and shot 38.6 percent from three. Overall, Brooklyn's team is more efficient on the offensive end in front of their home fans.

The Washington Mystics, led by Elena Delle Donne were able to keep all games relatively close, including an overtime loss in game 2. In four meetings against New York, the Mystics averaged 86.3 points, and shot 37 percent from the three. On the road, Washington averaged nearly 89 points, and were much more efficient on the offensive end. In the final season of the matchup, the Mystics defeated the Liberty 90-88, with a last second buzzer beater by Brittney Sykes.

Why the over will hit

Three of their four season matchups hit the over. New York was 23-17-0 against totals, and Washington 15-24-1. Over the last ten matchups, the Liberty averaged 91 points a game, and Washington 80. New York is coming off three straight games that hit the over and will face a Washington team that ranks 8th in points per game. New York has shown they can play defensive during prime games. In two cases, we saw this in matchups against the Connecticut Sun and the Las Vegas Aces. With three strong guard, along with Elena Delle Donne, the first game will be extremely competitive. I still like the over, based off previous matchups and recent trends.

Sabrina Ionescu O 8.5 1H Points

It's what she does

PPG: 17 | FG: 42.3 % | 3 PT: 44.8 % | FT: 87.2% | REB: 5.6 | AST: 5.4 | STL: 1 | BLK: 0.3

Sabrina Ionescu, guard for the New York Liberty, is one of the most prolific shooters in the WNBA. In her fourth season with the Liberty, Ionescu is a member of this year's fab five, which includes Breanna Stewart, Courtney Vandersloot, and Betnijah Laney. No. 20 set several historic records this season, including most three pointers made in a single season (128). Ionescu, 25, broke the WNBA and NBA record for most points in a three-point shooting contest with 37. On the cover of 2k24, the guard has shown why she is one of the most elite shooters in league. She ranks third in the league in three-point percentage, beneath Tyasha Harris and Jackie Young.

The former No.1 overall draft pick is the first player in history to have 500+ points, 200+ rebounds, and 200+ assists in a regular single season. Surrounded by talent, Ionescu is undeniably the focal part of the offense. Through 36 games, Sabrina leads the Liberty starters in three-point percentage (44.8), and three-point attempts per game (7.9). She tops the starting five in free-throw percentage (87.2) and ranks second to Breanna Stewart in minutes (31.5), and field goal attempts per game (12.8). Excelling both on and off the ball, Ionescu is incredible in creating her own shot and coming off ball screens. After a down year in 2022, the Liberty guard is averaging over 11 points better from downtown. With Courtney Vandersloot primarily at the point guard position, Ionescu has thrived alongside her.

Matchup with the Mystics

^{Brandon Todd/New York Liberty}

Through 36 regular season games, Ionescu has been extremely efficient shooting wise in front of her home fans. She finished the season shooting 47.3 percent from three, and 44.3 percent from the field in home games. Through 17 home matchups, the guard averaged 32.4 minutes, 13.5 field goal attempts, and 8.6 three-point attempts per game. With the first two playoff games at home, Ionescu certainly makes this prop enticing.

In four matchups against the Mystics, Ionescu averaged 34 minutes, 21.3 points, 14.5 field goal attempts, 8.8 three-point shots, 7.3 rebounds 6 assists, and 1.5 steals. In the meetings, No. 20 shot 45.7 percent from the three. It's important to note, there's significant disparity in her statistics at home vs. away.

In two matchups at the Barclays against Washington, Ionescu totaled nearly 25.5 points, and nine three-point attempts. She shot an improbable 61 percent from three, and 91 percent from the free-throw line. In games against Washington at home, Sabrina shot 54 percent from the field, almost 20 points more than away games. After a summation of her stats, I am fairly confident in this prop hitting. On Friday, the Liberty will face a Mystics team who allow opponents to shoot 34.5 percent from the three and grant close to 23 three-point attempts per game. She is truly a special player and had enormous success in home games against the Mystics this year.

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) September 10, 2023

Overall, Sabrina Ionescu ranks 6th in the league in offensive rating (112.8) and will face a three-guard lineup against Ariel Atkins, Brittney Sykes, and Natasha Cloud. Both Atkins and Sykes ranked top 45 in the league in defensive rating. This prop hit 100 percent in two home matchups against Washington, in which Ionescu had 12 and 11 points by halftime. With 17 games played at the Barclays this year, Sabrina averaged 9.2 and 8.4 overall first half points. With back-to-back matchups with points in double figures, the Liberty guard averaged 30.7 minutes, 16.5 points, and 10.9 field goal attempts in the last ten.

Sabrina Ionescu is a competitive player, who thrives in pressure situations. Able to attack outside the perimeter, Ionescu shines in drives to the basket, in addition to getting to the line. In four matchups against the Mystics, Ionescu had 21 total free-throw attempts. With only three playoff games in the first round, I fully expect No.20 to fire on all cylinders tomorrow night. She was named to the Associated Press All-Second Team for a reason.

Sara Jane Gamelli

Tonight, is Game 1 of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Las Vegas Aces (34-6, 19-1 Home) and the Chicago Sky (18-22, 11-9 Away). The first of three games, Las Vegas, the reigning 2022 WNBA Champions, will look to defend their title. In their fifth straight playoff appearance, Las Vegas Aces have won four of their last five games. The Chicago Sky led by Kahleah Copper, squeezed in as the 8th and final playoff seed. WNBA champions in 2021 and 26-10 in 2022, the Sky lost key players in the offseason, and will look to make a playoff run. In the final games of the regular season, the Sky won four of their last five games, including a victory over the Connecticut Sun.

?In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 10 p.m. ET, at T-Mobile Arena, located in Las Vegas, Nevada.?If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on?ESPN.?

WNBA Game 1 Odds: Las Vegas Aces vs. Chicago Sky

^{Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook}

Chicago Sky +16.5 (-108)

The Chicago Sky were the second-best team in 2022, and lost in the semi-finals against the Connecticut Sun. The Reigning 2021 WNBA Champions will make their fifth straight playoff appearance, all while under interim head coach, Emre Vatansever. Former head coach James Wade departing for the NBA in early July gave interim coach Emre Vatansever little time to develop chemistry with the team. Since Vatansever's arrival with Chicago, he led to Sky to a 11-13 record, and managed to help turn their season around in August. Fighting for the 8th seed with the Los Angeles Sparks, the Sky won five of their last seven games down the stretch, including victories over Connecticut and Minnesota. With determination, Chicago was able to obtain the eighth and final playoff spot. Their record against the spread in the regular season was 22-16-2.

Matchup against the Aces

The Aces are 3-0 against the Sky in three regular matchups. However, Chicago covered all spreads, some of which were large. In three games, the Sky averaged 87.3 points per game, 31.3 rebounds, 21.7 assists, 4.7 steals, and 1.7 blocks. Chicago, third in three-point shooting, managed to shoot an incredible 40 percent from the three, and 45 percent from the field. Given Las Vegas is the most efficient team on both ends of the floor, the Sky managed to keep up in most games. Last matchup against the Aces, the Sky had three players in double-figures, Kahleah Copper, Elizabeth Williams, and Marina Mabrey. Alanna Smith, questionable for tonight's game, averaged 7.3 points and rebounds in four games against the Aces. If she's in the lineup, I like the +16.5, with help on the boards for the frontcourt.

The Chicago Sky look to stay hot, after winning three straight games, and covering the spread in seven of the last eight. Out of 22 games, the Sky covered in nine against teams that are .500 and above. With both teams coming off three days of rest, I expect Las Vegas to outright win the Money Line tonight. I do expect the Sky to keep up, especially with a three-guard lineup, and given the fact are scoring 85 points in the last ten games. The Aces had a slight regression post All-Star break, losing four of their six losses since the beginning of August. To me, +16.5 is a large, spread, especially for a playoff game, and a Sky team that has covered in all of their meetings.

Chelsea Gray over 23.5 Points and Assists (PrizePicks)

PPG:?15.3?| FG:?49 %?| 3 PT:?42.1 %?| FT:?89.7 %?| REB:?4?| AST:?7.3?| STL:?1.4?| BLK:?0.6

Chelsea Gray, guard for the Las Vegas Aces is one of the most prolific playmakers in the WNBA. Nicknamed the "Point Gawd," No. 12 is averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks per game. The guard shot over 42 percent from the three this season, which ranks 7th in the league. Part of a dynamic backcourt, Gray, has plenty of passing options, including Aja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. Throughout 40 games in 2023, the guard averaged 15.3 points, and 7.3 assists a game. Her total of 291 assists ranks third in the league, behind Courtney Vandersloot and Alyssa Thomas. With 610 points scored, Gray ranks 19th, which is incredible for a team that's stacked with four All-Stars.

Hitting 41 percent of the time this season, this prop has hit 60 percent of the last five and ten games for Gray. She's hit over 23.5 points and assists in two of the three matchups against Chicago in the regular season. In the Aces previous matchup with the Sky, Gray finished with a double-double, 19 points and 10 assists. On July 25, game two, the guard finished with 22 points, and 9 assists. In three matchups with the Sky, Chelsea Gray averaged 32.8 minutes, 20 points, and 7 assists. In those matchups No. 12 averaged 11.7 field goal attempts, and 2.3 three-point attempts per game.

Why this prop will hit

Coming off three days of rest, Gray averages 14 points and 6.8 assists. Though a small sample size of two games, she performs her best with two games of rest or less. When it comes to prop bets in the playoffs, I specifically target players who excel in multiple areas of the court. For Gray, she is a scorer, and reads the court with high IQ. Whether she takes it to the basket, or knocks down a three, Chelsea Gray is a threat from anywhere on the court.

She will matchup against the Chicago Sky, who allow the second most assists per game (20.8), next to the Seattle Storm. If she gets the matchup with Marina Mabrey, Mabrey ranks 110 in defensive rating (103.5), and has a net rating of -0.8. Guards Kahleah Copper and Courtney Williams both rank near the bottom in terms of the defensive ratings. Overall, Chelsey Gray is 8th in offensive rating (112.5), and third in assist percentage (33.7). With only one loss at home, Gray has plenty of options to distribute the ball to and has the ability to score when A'ja Wilson is clamped.

Written and edited by

Sara Jane Gamelli

Tonight is Game 1 of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Connecticut Sun (27-13, 13-7 Home) and the Minnesota Lynx (19-21,10-10 Away). The first of three games, the Sun will look to make a trip back to the finals. 3-2 in their last five games, Connecticut will have their seven straight playoff appearance. The Minnesota Lynx, led by Napheesa Collier, will look to make a run after missing the 2022 playoffs. In the final games of the regular season, the Lynx dropped three of five.

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 8 p.m. ET, at Mohegan Sun Arena, located in Uncasville, Connecticut. If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN2.

— Connecticut Sun (@ConnecticutSun) September 13, 2023

With injuries and off-season trades, the Connecticut Sun were destined to regress. With the inconceivable play of Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner, the Sun have remained one of the most exceptional teams in the league. Prolific on defense, the Sun rank second in Defensive Rating (98.8) and lead the league in opponent points per game (79). With DiJonai Carrington as the only player listed as questionable, the Sun should have most players available this series.

Connecticut is 3-1 against Minnesota, in which the Lynx covered the spread 75 percent. As the third best team in the WNBA, Connecticut averages five more points at home (85), rebounds (34.2), assists (21.6), and steals (8.5). On their home court, the Sun shoot more efficiently in every aspect. Typically, on three days' rest, the Sun shoot close to 40 percent from three, and have a record of 3-3. Overall, Connecticut is 21-17-2 against the spread, which is over the positive mark.

In four games against Minnesota, Connecticut has one loss on their home court. In four meetings, they scored an averaged of 85 points per game, 33.8 rebounds, 22 assists, 6.8 steals, and 5.5 blocks. Additionally, they are a 46 percent field goal and 30.6 three-point shooting team against the Lynx. With a 32-point differential, they face a Minnesota team who will be without Jessica Shepard and Lindsay Allen. Although Minnesota is 21-18-1 against the spread, only six covers against the spread came against teams that are .500 or better.

Why the Sun will cover

I love that the Minnesota Lynx continue to build around Kayla McBride and Napheesa Collier. They have promising young rookies in Dorka Juhasz and Diamond Miller, who were just named to the AP All-Rookie team. With two straight losses against Indiana and Chicago to close out the season, the Lynx will face a Connecticut Sun team that is one year removed from the WNBA finals. Not able to cover the spread in the last two games, Minnesota remains inconsistent, and one of the worst defensive teams heading into the playoffs. I believe this team can be a dominant force in the league, perhaps with less injuries and more development of younger players. With the Sun well rested, I expect them to fully cover the spread at home tonight. With the departure of Curt Miller, there's a reason why Stephanie White was named AP Coach of the Year.

Alyssa Thomas 23 Points + Assists

One of the league’s best, without question.

Congratulations to Alyssa Thomas for being named to the AP First Team All League! #CTSun | #ForgedByFire pic.twitter.com/9zPTZR1Q6o

PPG: 15.5 | FG: 47.4 % | 3 PT: 0 % | FT: 71.5 % | REB: 9.9 | AST: 7.9 |STL: 1.8 | BLK: 0.5

In the MVP conversation, Alyssa Thomas finished a brilliant 2023 season. In her MVP campaign, Thomas was named to the Associated Press First Team All-League. Through 40 games, Thomas broke the single season assist record with 316, along with several honorable accolades. The forward made WNBA history, including six triple-doubles, and 28 double-doubles. No. 25 is the first player ever with 600 points, 300 rebounds, 300 assists. In the history of the WNBA, Thomas stands among the only athlete to have back-to-back triple-doubles, and a 20 point/ 20 assist/10 rebound game. Her back-to-back triple-double game ironically was against Minnesota, twice.

Not a threat behind the perimeter, Thomas prides herself in excelling on all areas of the court. With the absence of Brionna Jones, Thomas has taken the role of point forward. In her 10th season with the Connecticut Sun, Alyssa Thomas is truly a definition of a leader, and a player who can perform everywhere on the court. A one-of-a-kind athlete, the forward shines defensively, offensively, which includes scoring, throwing dimes, and rebounding.

Why this pop will hit

In a crucial Game 1 of the WNBA playoffs, the Connecticut Sun are coming off three days' rest. This prop hit 50 percent of the season, 50 percent in the last ten games, and 75 percent of the matchups against Minnesota this season. Though over 23 points and assist hit once in the last four games, Stephanie White managed her minutes in the last home matchup versus the Chicago Sky. With DiJonai Carrington listed as questionable, look for Thomas to be the engine of this offense, especially early on. In home matchups, Thomas averages 8.5 assists per game, where on the road, No. 25 dishes out 7.4 dimes. The point forward takes 13.2 shots a game at their home court, which is almost one more attempt than on the road. Off three days of rest, the Sun star averages 15.8 points, and 8.3 assists per game.

Matchup against the Lynx

In four matchups against the Lynx, Thomas averaged 17.3 points, 13 rebounds, 10.3 assists, and 1.5 steals. On August 1, the forward became the first player in WNBA history to have back-to-back triple-doubles against the Lynx. In those two matchups, she had a combined 38 points, 34 rebounds, 23 assists, and 5 steals. Thomas played significantly superior at home against the opposition.

At Mohegan Sun Arena against the Lynx, Thomas averages 19 points, 17 rebounds, and 11.5 assists, all significantly higher than on the road. In The Suns previous regular season matchup with them, Thomas had an incredible 21 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists in 40 minutes. Given Connecticut is 3-1 against Minnesota, and the way No. 25 has played, it's very hard to fade this prop. Given that Minnesota ranks 10th in defensive rating, I expect Alyssa Thomas to shine in Game 1 of the playoffs tonight.

WNBA: Aces vs. Mercury Betting Odds & Stats

The Las Vegas Aces will matchup against the Phoenix Mercury on the road tonight. With a half a game lead over the Liberty, the Aces look to retain the No. 1 seed in the WNBA. Here, you will find the WNBA betting odds, stats, and predictions for Thursday, September 8.

Written and edited by

Sara Jane Gamelli

The Las Vegas Aces (32-6, 14-5 Away) will face the Phoenix Mercury (9-29, 8-11 Home) tonight. With two regular season games remaining, these two teams will matchup the next two games. With the Mercury eliminated from playoff contention, they will be without Diana Taurasi and Shey Peddy. For a team that scores the lowest points in the league, those two players make up 28 percent of the total offense.

With the playoffs near, the Aces remain half a game ahead of the New York Liberty for the top seed in the WNBA. Ahead of their two games mini-series against Phoenix, perhaps Becky Hammon will have the opportunity to rest some starters and add some bench minutes. Overall, the Aces are 3-2 in their last five games, and four of their six losses all came since August 19. With the season nearly over, the Mercury dropped nine straight games, and face one of the most elite teams the next few matchups.

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 10PM EST, at the Footprint Center, located in Phoenix, Arizona.

WNBA Daily Odds: Las Vegas Aces vs. Phoenix Mercury

^{Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook}

Las Vegas Aces -18.5 (-110)

The Las Vegas Aces were the most elite team through the first half of the season. Still one of the best in the WNBA, four of their six losses came in the backend of August. Fresh off a 103-77 win against the Storm, the Aces are hungry to retain the No. 1 seed in the league. Although they covered just once in seven matchups, the Mercury will be without star Diana Taurasi. In the first matchup against the Aces on June 21, Phoenix were without stars Brittney Griner and Taurasi.

The Aces will face a depleted Phoenix team who rank last in points per game, pace, and offensive/defensive rating. Although the Aces haven't played their best basketball as of late, Becky Hammons team defeated the Phoenix Mercury in both meetings this season and covered the spread in each of them. Over those two matchups, Vegas covered two large spreads (-17, -19), and have a +46-point differential in their two meetings.

Why the Aces can cover the spread

Normally, I wouldn't take Aces to cover this large of a spread. However, they recently covered the -20 spread against a Storm team who also ranks low in the standings. Overall, Vegas is 20-18-0 against the spread, and faces a Mercury team who is 14-24-0 overall ATS this season. In dual games against Phoenix, and the Aces average 98.5 points per game, compared to the Mercury's 75.5 points. Even if Taurasi was healthy, this team allows the opposition to score 84.3 points per game, and nearly a league high 37.2 three-point percentage. Additionally, the Mercury rank last in the league in rebounds per game (30.7).

Overall, the Aces are 0-4 against the spread in their last four road games. However, with this caliber of matchup, it would be hard to face Aces here. Ultimately these two teams are the best and worst teams in terms of net rating. In their victory over the storm, A'ja Wilson led the way with 30 points, and Vegas had five players with points in double figures. Although its unknown how many minutes the starters will play, the Aces are the more dominant team, and it's not even close. With the Aces money line at -4500, you would not get a ton of return with the odds.

The Mercury continue their miserable season, despite Taurasi hitting 10,000 career points. Riddled by injuries, and players out of the lineup, Phoenix is on a nine-game losing streak, and only covered the spread once in five games. Their home record against the spread this season is 8-10.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Phoenix Mercury O 165.5 Points (-110)

Today, I picked my two favorite straight bets. With the playoffs looming, I steered away from prop bets in this game, due to possible load management. Although both teams haven't matched up since July 11, the over hit in two straight games, with the series averaging 174 points. Although the Aces had Candace Parker for the first meeting, the Mercury were without stars Taurasi and Griner for game two. Even without their heavy hitters, the Mercury managed to score 72 points, and allow nearly 100 points in both events.

Although Phoenix will be missing key players, the over will hit due to one reason, poor defense. The Mercury ranks last defensively, and the Aces are 22-16-0 versus the total this season. Last matchup, Jackie Young, A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, and Kelsey Plum all had points in double figures. With the No. 1 Seed on the line, I don't see the Aces taking their foot of the gas this game. With the Aces slight regression since August, they still remain a top three team both on offense and defense.

Los Angeles Sparks vs. New York Liberty: Betting Odds & Stats

Sara Jane Gamelli — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 18:12:36 +0000

The Los Angeles Sparks will matchup against the New York Liberty on the road tonight. With LA tied with the Sky for the 8th seed, tonight is a must win for the Sparks. Here, you will find the WNBA betting odds, stats, and predictions for Thursday, September 7.

Written and edited by

Sara Jane Gamelli

The Los Angeles Sparks (16-22, 6-12 Away) will face the New York Liberty (31-7, 14-4 Home) at the Barclays Center tonight. With two regular season games remaining, the Sparks are tied with the Chicago Sky for the 8th and final playoff spot. Plagued by injuries for a majority of the season, Los Angeles has several questionable players for tonight's game.

Both Nneka Ogwumike and Karlie Samuelson are on the injury report, listed as questionable for tonight's matchup. Together, they make up a combined 26 percent of the team's offense, which is 10th in the league. After winning six straight games in August, the Sparks have lost four of the last five, and covered the spread in just one matchup. For the Liberty, Coach Brondello's squad is coming off a seven-game win streak and have just one loss in the past ten games. Just one game trailing the Aces for the No. 1 Seed, New York looks to crown themselves as the finest team in the WNBA.

In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 7PM EST, at the Barclays Center, located in Brooklyn, New York. If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on Amazon Prime Video. For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) September 6, 2023

With two games left in the regular season, the New York Liberty established themselves as the most elite team since August. With zero injuries listed in tonight's matchup, New York has won seven straight games, and nine of their last ten. Since August, Sandy Brondello's team leads the league in win percentage (.923), and Offensive Rating (112.2), Defensive Rating (93.8), Net Rating (18.4) Assists/Turnover ratio (1.84), Rebound Percentage (53.5), Effective Field Goal Percentage (54.8), Assists per game (23.6), and points per matchup (89.9). Looking at that list of distinctions, it's hard to fade the Liberty at this time.

Led by Head Coach Sandy Brondello, New York is off to their best start in franchise history with a 31-7 record. Additionally, the franchise has an exceptional level of talent and depth on their roster. In the midst of a tight MVP race, Breanna Stewart is coming off a 40 point/ 10 rebound performance in their victory over the Dallas Wings. Additionally, multiple players of the Liberty expressed the importance of trusting one another when building chemistry. After an exhilarating 94-93 win over the Wings, it's evident the Liberty have several key players besides Breanna Stewart that contribute in various ways.

Curt Miller and the Sparks had the unfortunate luck of injuries all season. With two key players listed as questionable, Los Angeles dropped four of their last five games, in which they only score on average, 75 points a game. The Sparks are 7-6 since the month of August and climbed their way to the top defensively. With the resurgence of Jordin Canada and Layshia Clarendon, Los Angeles ranks fourth overall, and second in defensive efficiency since the beginning of last month.

If you look at the recent matchups on paper, the Sparks have covered the spread in both defeats against New York. However, since the month of September, LA has dropped to 7th in defensive ratings, and 8th overall offensively. In the 90-76 fall against Connecticut, the purple and gold were without players Ogwumike and Samuelson.

Unable to produce a high volume of scoring, the Sparks rank last in the league in offensive production in the last five matchups. Furthermore, in those five games, Miller's squad ranks 10th in three-point percentage, 12th in field goal percentage, and allow nearly 11 opponent points off the fast break. Although they sealed an impressive victory over the Mystics, they will face a New York team that's elite in several categories. If Nneka is unable to suit up, look for Dearica Hamby to lace up tonight, who contributed 18 points last match. In two matchups this season, New York only holds a 15-point differential.

^{(Brandon Todd/New York Liberty)}

Why the Liberty can cover the spread

With the regular season coming to a close, it's unclear if coach Brondello will rest a few of her starters and give the second unit some looks. As of this moment, Nneka Ogwumike and Karlie Samuelson still remain questionable for tonight's game. Overall, the Liberty are playing at an exclusive level, superior to any other team in the league. Since the All-Star break, New York leads the league in Net Rating, by a large margin. 19-19-0 against the spread this season, the Liberty are 4-0 ATS in home games since August 6th, and 10-8 against the spread at the Barclays.

For the Sparks, they stand at 18-18-0 against the spread overall. After covering the spread in ten straight games, LA has lost their "spark." Covering just once in five games, Los Angeles heads into a crucial must win scenario this evening. On the road, LA is 8-10-1 against the spread, and 0-2 on the road ATS as of August 27. Statistically, I would pick LA to cover, however, the Liberty are playing on another level.

Breanna Stewart O 9.5 REB (-125)

^{(Brandon Todd/New York Liberty)}

Normally I wouldn't pick any New York prop bets due to load management heading into the playoffs. However, Breanna Stewart is playing some of the best basketball of her career and is in a tight MVP race. Poised to be named most valuable player, Stewart is coming off a 40-point/10 rebound game against Dallas. Although over 9.5 rebounds hit just over 50 percent this season, Stewart has six straight games with rebounds in double figures. Additionally, Breanna Stewart grabbed 12 boards in their last matchup, and is averaging 10.5 rebounds in two games against LA.

Coming off 34 played minutes, there's zero signs of Stewart slowing down before the playoffs. No. 30 ranks third overall in rebounds and will face a Sparks team who allow opponents to grab over 35 boards a game. If Nneka Ogwumike is possibly out for tonight's game, that will give Stewart an advantage on the boards. In fact, LA is one of the least efficient teams on the rebounds, in which they only tally 31.5 a game. Since the month of August, Stewart ranks only behind Alyssa Thomas for the most rebounds per game in the league (9.8). Overall, this prop has hit 60 percent in the last ten games.

Former No. 1 overall pick and UConn Husky, Breanna Stewart shocked the basketball world, when she signed with the New York Liberty this past offseason. A 2x WNBA Champion, Stewart spent her first six seasons with the Seattle Storm, in which she was crowned Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2018. Five years later, Stewart finds herself on a loaded roster, which includes Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, Courtney Vandersloot, Betnijah Laney, and several important role players.

Having covered the Liberty this season, Breanna Stewart has risen her game to new heights, and in ways we've never seen before. Prior to the season, there was some ambiguity surrounding player roles, and as a free agent, No. 30 took a pay cut to sign with New York. With that said, it was expected Stewarts personal statistics could possibly decline. However, the storyline this year has been the evolution of Breanna Stewart, and her continuous record-breaking performances.

Breanna Stewart is an elite scorer

Through 38 games this season, Stewart is averaging career-highs in several statistical categories. That includes points (23.3), minutes (34.2), assists (3.8), and offensive rebounds per game (1.6). Throughout her WNBA tenure, the MVP candidate is scoring the highest points off turnovers (4.4), second chance points (2.9), and fast break points (2.9) in her career. In 1,299 minutes played on the court, Stewart is scoring the highest percentage of points (3 pointers, mid-range, and fast break points) than she ever has before. Most impressively, the Liberty forward is shooting the highest percent of three-point field goals made, which are unassisted. She has the ability to create her own shot, pick and pop, attack the basket, as well as in the paint.

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) September 6, 2023

Overall, No. 30 has been impactful all season long. Furthermore, her production in September has been tremendous. Through three games, Stewart is averaging 26.7 points per game, 19.3 field goal attempts, 11.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, in just 31.2 minutes. Stewart, 29, ranks second in the league, behind Jewell Loyd in points per game, second in field goals made, and third in field goal and free-throw attempts per game. This season, 50.6 percent of her shots are two-pointers, and her mid-range shots are up four percent from last season. Additionally, there's been a five percent increase in points in the paint, as well as momentous increase in three-pointers unassisted. Her post moves are strong and prodigious.

Stewart now holds the record for most points in a single-season

The list keeps getting longer

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) September 6, 2023

Overall, the New York Liberty rank second in points scored (3385), directly below the Las Vegas Aces. Since the All-Star break, Breanna Stewart leads a Liberty team that has the best record (17-3), and highest field goal percentage (46.5). In pre-game warmups Stewart can often be seen locked in and ready for each and every matchup. She leads New York in 17 field goal attempts per game, which can be presented from anywhere on the court. Elite inside the paint, Stewart is known for her fadeaway mid-range shots, and is often a force beyond the perimeter. The fellow UConn star leads the league in points scored (885), and recently broke the record for the most points in a single season. In addition, Stewart broke the record for the most 40-point games in a season (four).

The success of the Liberty, especially in the backend of the season, shows how impactful Breanna Stewart is. Her high IQ, and ability to read defenses and screens is remarkable. Her capacity to set screens opens the floor for teammates, as well as spacing.

No. 30 is a force on the defensive end

Since the All-Star break, the New York Liberty have the best defensive rating, only trailing the Los Angeles Sparks. In addition, New York has the best net rating since July, in which they lead by a large margin. Although the Liberty have a multitude of talented players, Breanna Stewart remains a concrete staple on the defensive end. Since 2022, the forward is averaging 9.4 rebounds, which is nearly two points more than the previous season. Less than .6 rebounds away from averaging a double-double, Stewart averages 1.6 blocks, .7 higher than 2022. Moreover, she currently has 60 blocks, which is on pace to shatter her rookie year record of 64.

With three games left in the regular season, Stewart has 57 steals, the most in her career, along with 359 rebounds. Her 297 rebounds rank second in the league, just three boards short of Connecticut's Alyssa Thomas. In the month of August, she had 9 blocks in three matchups against the Aces, in which the Liberty won the Commissioner's Cup on August 15. Although the box score doesn't always reveal the value of a player, Stewart has been a defensive juggernaut in critical games. In two games against the Aces, Stewart held to 9 points, each on 4-24 shooting. It speaks volumes that Wilson, one of the most dominant players in the league, was held to 16 percent shooting through two of those meetings.

Ranking third in total blocks this year (60), Stewart has been the defensive anchor in several matchups. With stretch fours becoming more prevalent, she has the task of guarding both the outside and inside of the perimeter. Often times, Breanna does an incredible job of switching on screens, especially when the opposition plays a small lineup. Over the course of the season, No. 30 broke the record for the most 40 point/10 rebound games in history with three and ties the franchise record for 20 double-doubles in a season.

Stew York City

Prior to the matchup against the Connecticut Sun, Liberty forward Jonquel Jones had some meaningful words for her teammate. " I think the things that you see are some of the things that make her special-- Her ability to be able to score on different levels, defensively, being in the right places, or time, and blocking shots, " Jones told the media. "Multiple 40-point games, and all of that, so I mean, she's our MVP, and I would love to see her win the MVP at the end of the season."

Stewart's impact on her team is colossal

On nights where the shots aren't falling, Stewart still finds a way to contribute on all aspects of the court. Following the victory against the Aces on August 28, coach Sandy Brondello emphasized why Stewart should be this year's MVP.

"I think that's a stature of who she is. It's not all about scoring big. Stewie can do everything, " said Brondello. She's impactful because she's changing shots--- guarding the best player on the other team. She's rotating, rebounding, she's running, creating for others. It's not always about scoring."

The former UConn star can do it all

Following New Yorks recent victory over the Connecticut Sun, Betnijah Laney spoke on the impact of Stewart on the court. " I don't think it's just been tonight. You know, I think it's been all season long," said Laney. "I'm not just saying that because she's my teammate, and not biased. Just everything that [Stewart] has been able to do. She hit's every mark on the set. For her to be able to do that and lead us. I think she's already made a strong case for herself, and it wasn't just tonight."

In addition to scoring, rebounding and defending, Stewart is averaging the most assists in her career. For example, often times the forward is double teamed, which creates an open lane or shot. As a result, fellow Storm star is averaging the highest-turnover ratio in her career (2.64). Stewart ranks 13th in overall assists (62), which is a considerable indicator of her high-IQ and vision of the court, as well as incredible unselfish ball movement by the Liberty.

Her teammates back her MVP Campaign

Prior to the last matchup against the Aces, Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu commented on the importance of Breanna Stewart, and her work ethic, both on and off the court.

"I think it's a standard that she set for herself, and one that we've been able to witness, from, obviously, her in Seattle, but obviously as a teammate just being able to see what she does game in and game out, "Ionescu told the Media. " Starting in training camp and practice. For me and for us, as a teammate, is just wanting to continue to help her be the absolute best player she can, and understanding how that helps us as a whole."

Coach Brondello stepped in and had a few words. " MVP, what are you talking about? Right there."

The Liberty forwards list of accomplishments this season

Over the course of the season, Breanna Steward is a 6x Eastern Conference player of the week, and 3x Eastern Conference player of the month. In the midst of witnessing greatness, Stewart is arguably in the prime of her career, and poised to make another playoff run. She joins Sheryl Swoopes and Sylvia Fowles as the only players in the history of the WNBA to lead in every single win share category.

Stewie’s historic season continues, joining Sheryl Swoopes and Sylvia Fowles as the only players in @WNBA history to lead in all win share categories in a single-season!

After reading this, the stats speak for themselves. In other cases, the box score doesn't show her impact, and how much she means to her teammates and coaches. It's remarkable the influence that Breanna Stewart has on her teammates, and the contribution's she's made to the organization's success. Her hard work ethic, and talent has not gone unnoticed in New York, who have been waiting for their first ever WNBA Championship. She's always making plays for teammates and contributes on every aspect on the floor. With the volume of talent on this team, her unselfish performance is advertised nightly, yet she devotes her best in every category. Being an MVP candidate on a highly talented team speaks volumes.

Breanna Stewart was right all along. The key to success is "trusting the process." All around Stewart, are her teammates making history, and breaking records right beside her.

Seattle Storm vs. Atlanta Dream: Betting Odds & Stats

The Seattle Storm will matchup against the Atlanta Dream on the road tonight. Here, you will find the WNBA betting odds, stats, and predictions for Wednesday, September 6.

Written and edited by

Sara Jane Gamelli

The Seattle Storm (11-26, 7-11 Away) will matchup against the Atlanta Dream (17-20, 10-8 Home) on the road tonight. The Dream are 3-7 in their last ten games and hold a slight lead over the Sky and Sparks for the 7th seed. They can clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight.

With three games to go, the Seattle Storm retain one of the lowest ratings in the WNBA and are eliminated from playoff contention. With the series split 1-1, tonight is a must win for the Atlanta Dream. Atlanta, led by head coach Tanisha Wright, have just a 1.5 game lead, and could easily fall into competition for the 8th and final playoff spot. In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 7PM EST, at Gateway Center, located in College Park, Georgia. If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on NBA TV (WNBA League Pass). For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

WNBA Daily Odds: Seattle Storm vs. Atlanta Dream

^{Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook}

Atlanta -8.5 (-110)

Hey Dream fans!

We are back in the arena TOMORROW for one of the most important games of the season.

We need you to SHOW UP and SHOW OUT.

Let’s pack the arena Wednesday night as we secure our spot in the playoffs! #atlantadream
— Atlanta Dream (@AtlantaDream) September 5, 2023

With three games remaining in the regular season, the Atlanta Dream are a must win tonight. Standing at 17-20, Atlanta has less than a two-game lead for the 7th seed over the Chicago Sky and the Los Angeles Sparks. Through the month of August, both the Storm and Dream are two of the least efficient teams on offensive in the WNBA. Since August 1, both squads rank 10 and 11 in total net rating, in addition to effective field goal percentage. Once considered one of the superior teams in the East, the Dream have lost seven of their last ten games and have just one win in the past five matchups. Eliminated from the postseason, Seattle has just one win in five games. Although Seattle is 19-16-0 against the spread this season, I am full fading that tonight.

Tonight, is a crucial matchup for Atlanta, who hasn't covered the spread in two games against the Storm. With the season series split 1-1, the Dream are 8-8 against the spread when favored, and 7-4 as home favorites ATS. Additionally, Tanisha Wright's team is 10-8 at home, and 10-7 against the spread at the Gateway Center. With the Seattle Storm out of the playoff bracket, they will play for a matter of pride tonight. At 7-11 on the road, Seattle has played on the road in five of their last six and are 2-2-1 against the road spread in the past five games.

Why the Atlanta Dream will cover the spread.

Overall, Atlanta is a much more efficient team in their home arena. In 18 games played in Georgia, the Dream average close to five points more per game (85) and shoot nearly eight percent better from the three-point (38.2 percent). In addition, the Dream shoot more effectively from the field, as well as the free-throw line. Although this team is 6-12 since the All-Star break, they remain 4th in points per game, and 6th in overall defensive rating. Over the last five matchups. Atlanta is averaging 87 points per game, compared to the Storm's 79.8. Although both teams are 1-4, Atlanta is far more superior than Seattle from the field, and both teams allow the opposition to score around 89 points.

In a much-anticipated essential matchup, the Dream will face the worst team offensively in the WNBA. Led by Allisha Gray, Atlanta has a ton of talent, especially on the bench. In their last matchup against Minnesota Atlanta's bench outscored the opposition 32-24. Second year player, Rhyne Howard has been a force on both sides of the ball, along with Cheyenne Parker.

Most recently, this team dropped 100 points in their defeat against the Las Vegas Aces. Led by Howard with 27 points, the Dream shot 35 percent from three, and had four players with points in double figures. Atlanta allows teams to shoot 34 percent from the three, and the key will be to play tight perimeter defense on Jewell Loyd. With a win tonight, the Atlanta Dream can clinch a playoff spot. With everything on the line, I expect Atlanta to put up a fight, especially with a tough schedule remaining against Washington and Dallas.

Allisha Gray O 16.5 Points (-136)

Shooter to shooter ’s! #atlantadream pic.twitter.com/UqJbLBLzwD
— Atlanta Dream (@AtlantaDream) September 2, 2023

PPG: 17.2 | FG: 47.5 % | 3 PT: 38.2 % | FT: 82.1 % | REB: 4.9 | AST:4.9 |STL: 1.1 | BLK: 0.3

In her first season with the Atlanta Dream, Allisha Gray is averaging career-highs in points per game, field goal percentage, field goal and free-throw attempts. No. 15 hit over 16.5 points 60 percent in the last five, and 50 percent in the past five games. Furthermore, the Dream guard hit this prop in two games against Seattle and is averaging 18 points against the Storm. In both matchups, Gray averages 32 minutes, and 15.5 field goal attempts. With the Atlanta Dream leading the league in pace, I expect both teams to fight hard, and have a faster tempo game tonight.

If you're betting on the WNBA, Allisha Gray hit this prop 60 percent this season, and is averaging nearly 11 field goal attempts per matchup over the last ten. Overall, Gray ranks 15th in points per game, and 16th overall in total points this season (601). Gray also ranks top five and six in free-throws attempted and made per game. Although the Dream have several options on the offensive end, I expect Gray to have a decent matchup against a Seattle team who has one of worst net ratings, just above the Phoenix Mercury. I like this prop, based on the fact that Jewell Loyd ranks 96th in defensive efficiency, and has a net rating of -4.8.

Rhyne Howard O 2.5 3PM (+108)

JUST SO SMOOTH @howard_rhyne pic.twitter.com/NRPKIYO6RJ
— Atlanta Dream (@AtlantaDream) September 2, 2023

Former 2022 rookie of the year, Rhyne Howard is having a career year in her second season with Atlanta. No. 10 is averaging career-highs in points per game (17.5), field goal and three-point percentage, rebounds, and assists minutes per game. Howard, 23, hit over 2.5 made three pointers in 60 percent of the last five and ten games. Additionally, she hit this prop in two matchups against Seattle, in which Howard is averaging 17.5 points, 32.5 minutes, 17.5 field goal attempts, and 10 three-point shots. In all of her August matchups, the guard has the most shot attempts against Seattle, with 20 on August 10.

Although Howard shot 1-10 from the three in she's averaging 8.6 threes attempted in the last three games. With the Seattle Storm allowing 35.4 percent from downtown, 9th in the WNBA, I expected Howard to have bounce back game tonight. I am confident in this prop tonight, especially with the volume of shots taken and minutes played against Seattle this season. Currently, the odds are not in favor of this prop, which could be the steal of the night.

There are three games on the WNBA Betting slate for Thursday, August 31. Earlier, I discussed the straight betting odds and statistics for all matchups. In this article, I will give my best predictions and analysis for today's daily prop bets. ?If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, all matchups will air on Amazon Prime Video. For the best WNBA betting prop odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.'

Our Thursday #wnba slate picks!

Ezi Magbegor O 7.5 Rebounds (-140)

This bucket by @ezimagbegor from last night is your @WAFDbank Taking it to the Bank Play of the Game! pic.twitter.com/Jhx29ju1kn
— Seattle Storm (@seattlestorm) August 28, 2023

PPG:?14 | FG:?51.3 %?| 3 PT:?36.8 %?| FT:?67.3 %?| REB:?8.1?| AST:?2.3?|STL:?1.2?| BLK:?1.2

Seattle Storm Center, Ezi Magbegor is as consistent as they come. This prop has hit nearly 50 percent of the season, and Magbegor has over 7.5 rebounds in two matchups against Los Angeles. Following a playoff elimination, it can be risky when it comes to prop picks. However, Seattle plays a three-guard lineup with Horston, Loyd, and Whitcomb. Alongside Dulcy?Fankam Mendjiadeu, the Seattle center is averaging 8.1 rebounds this season, and has 27 total rebounds in the last two matchups.

Ezi Magbegor will face a Los Angeles Sparks team, who allow opponents to grab 35.1 rebounds, which is 9th worst in the WNBA. She will face Nneka Ogwumike and Azura Stevens, who lead the frontcourt for the Sparks.

Overall, the Seattle Storm rank 4th in rebounds per game (35) and will face a Sparks team that only averages 31.9 rebounds per game, which ranks 11th in the league. If you're betting on the WNBA, Los Angeles certainly has much more at stake with the playoffs on the line. Magbegor is coming off a 14, and 13 rebounding game, against the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever. In two games against LA, the center is averaging 32.5 minutes, and 9.5 rebounds per game. In addition, Ezi ranks 11th overall in the WNBA in total rebounds per game (8.1). Specifically, she ranks top 6th in defensive boards (6.5). If you're betting on the WNBA, I like Magbegor over 7.5 rebounds tonight vs. the Sparks.

Alyssa Thomas O 7.5 Assists (-128)

Alyssa Thomas was named the @AP_Sports WNBA Player of the Week.

Thomas averaged 20.3 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 8.0 apg and 2.7 spg as the Sun went 2-1 in regular season action last week. pic.twitter.com/B7DCghQZrO
— Connecticut Sun PR (@CTSunPR) August 29, 2023

PPG:?15.9?| FG:?47.2 %?| 3 PT:?0 %?| FT:?71.4 %?| REB:?9.9 | AST:?8.1?|STL:?1.9?| BLK:?0.5

Connecticut Sun star, Alyssa Thomas, is playing at an elite level, and is in the MVP talks. Thomas ranks second in the league in assists (8.1), and averages over 9.9 dimes a game. She is averaging 10 assists in the past two matchups and hit over 7.5 assists 7 of the last 10 games. Furthermore, the forward dished out 7.5 assists 60 percent in the last five games. She recently broke an WNBA record with her 24th double-double, and recently set a [Connecticut Sun] record, with 996 assists, as of July 19th (NBC Boston).

If you're betting on the WNBA, Thomas hit this prop 50 percent against the Phoenix Mercury this season, and averages exactly 7.5 assists against the Mercury. The forward is surrounded by talent in Connecticut, including DeWanna Bonner, Rebecca Allen, Tiffany Hayes, and Natisha Hiedeman. The Phoenix Sun will be without Cunningham, and possibly Diana Taurasi. With the Mercury out of playoff contention, they have one of the worst defensive ratings in the league (11th).

If you're betting on the WNBA, I like Alyssa Thomas O 7.5 assists tonight vs. the Mercury.

Elena Delle Donne O 14.5 PTS (-113)

.@De11eDonne @BrittBundlez #OurTimeOurLegacy pic.twitter.com/G7geM1QbkC
— Washington Mystics (@WashMystics) August 26, 2023

PPG:?17.2?| FG:?50 %?| 3 PT:?41.3 %?| FT:?96.8 %?| REB:?5.7?| AST:2.3 |STL:?0.8 | BLK:?0.8

Elena Delle Donne is back for her third straight game after an ankle injury and hip issue. Delle Donne is a vital part of the Mystics frontcourt and is averaging 17.2 points in 18 games played. The Mystics forward hit over 14.5 points 60 percent of the season, and six of the last ten games played.

In her first matchup back, Delle Donne scored 21 points, in 22 minutes, on 6-10 shooting against the Las Vegas Aces. Head coach of the Aces, Becky Hammon, stated that her starters are exhausted, and will utilize more of the bench. If you're betting on the WNBA, Delle Donne should have increasing minutes, along with a nice matchup against the second unit.

If you're betting on the WNBA, Delle Donne faces as Aces team who's dropped to fourth in defense rating in the month of August. If the forward gets increased minutes, along with shot volume, she has a great chance, especially against an Aces bench that averages a league low 10 points a game.

Daily WNBA Betting Odds for 8/31

^{Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook}

Sparks ML (-290)

The Los Angeles Sparks are coming off a tough home loss against the Chicago Sky, 76-75. Although the Sparks dropped two straight games, they won six straight in the month of August. In the last ten games, Los Angeles is 6-4, and had impressive wins over Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Washington. Over the last month, Head Coach Curt Miller has more consistency in the starting lineup. Considering the team has been plagued with injuries, Los Angeles is 1.5 games ahead of the Sky for the 8th and final WNBA playoff seed.

The Sparks will be without guard Layshia Clarendon tonight, due to health protocols. Over the month of August, Clarendon is averaging 12 points, 3.2 assists, and close to 51 percent field goal shooting. The Sparks guard is additionally shooting over 53 percent from the three-point this month. Without Clarendon, Los Angeles will be without one of their toughest players on both sides of the ball. Last game, guard Jasmine Thomas got the starting nod in replace of Clarendon. Thomas scored 3 points and dished out 4 assists in 23 minutes.

Season matchup with the Seattle Storm

The season series is split 1-1 between the Seattle Storm and the Los Angeles Sparks. It's important to note that the first two matchups came back in June. Since then, the Sparks have evolved, and are an efficient team defensively. In the two meetings, Los Angeles had Lexie Brown, who is out for the remainder of the season with an illness. In addition, Chiney Ogwumike, now hurt, had 15 points. In game 1, the Sparks allowed the Storm to shoot 50 percent from the three, in addition to 85 points.

Both squads changed drastically since the beginning of June. Nearing the end of the regular season, the starting lineups will be vastly different, and the Storm are officially eliminated from playoff contention. In Seattle's last matchup against Chicago, down by five, they choose not to score, with 8 seconds to go. Since the Storm are one of the worst teams in the league, it would be hard to turn a blind eye to them possibly tanking. If you're betting on the WNBA, I would not be confident in the Storm, who are out of the postseason, and chose not to make last a game a one-point possession. Many would agree, the decision did not sit well with bettors or fans.

Imagine having Seattle ML pic.twitter.com/Kt0nTvslJn
— SportsLine (@SportsLine) August 28, 2023

Why the Sparks will win the Moneyline

Led by All-Star, Nneka Ogwumike, Los Angeles has the second-best defense in the league, specifically this month. Behind the Connecticut Sun, the Sparks hold the opposition to just 31.7 three-point percentage. With only a half a game lead over the Sky for the 8th seed, I expect the Sparks to bring everything they have tonight, especially with five games remaining. The resurgence of Jordin Canada, along with Azura Stevens has been colossal for the Sparks offense. I would expect rookie Zia Cooke to have increasing minutes, along with Hamby tonight.

Even without Clarendon, the Sparks have two stars in Canada and Ogwumike. Averaging 80 points on offense, Los Angeles is limiting opponents to 76.3 points per game, which is second in the WNBA. Although these are two of the worst offensive teams in the league, if you're betting on the WNBA, I expect the Sparks to run away with this game. Curt Millers team has covered the spread in 8 of the last ten games, and three of the last five. Overall, the Sparks are 9-9 at home, whereas the Storm are 6-10 on the road. Over the last ten games, LA is 4-3 at home vs. the Moneyline, and 7-6 when favored this season.

If you're betting on the WNBA, the Los Angeles Sparks have a 63.3 percent chance to win tonight, according to ESPN. Between Canada and Ogwumike, the duo makes up close to 43 percent of the offense. They will face MVP candidate Jewell Loyd, who's averaging 24.5 points in the last five games. Seattle ranks last in field goal percentage (40.9), whereas they take the second most three-pointers in the league. Look for Los Angeles to rely on their defense versus the worst offensive team in the league and play tough around the perimeter.

Washington Mystics +10.5 (-108)

The Washington Mystics currently sit in the 5th playoff spot, half a game ahead of the Atlanta Dream. Fresh off a two-game win streak, the Mystics have recent victories over Minnesota and Las Vegas. As a unit, Washington has won three of their last five, and covered the spread in two straight matchups. With less than two weeks of the regular season, Elena Delle Donne and Ariel Atkins have returned from injury.

Although Washington ranks near the bottom in offensive efficiency, they are a top 5 defensive team, specifically in the month of August. Since her return, All-Star Elena Delle Donne is averaging 15.5 points. Even with the addition of Atkins and Delle Donne, this team has struggled offensively, only averaging 80.5 in the past two matchups. Conversely, their defense has been stellar, allowing opponents to score an average of 75.6 points over the past five games. Even though the Mystics are 15-19-1 against the spread this season, they covered the +10 against Vegas, and had a push against Connecticut. Even though most of their spread coverages have come at home, you have to look at the recent play of Las Vegas.

Season Matchup

The Aces and the Mystics matched up two times, in which Washington shocked the world on Saturday. Vegas, on a grueling road stretch, were playing their 5th game in 8 days. With most of the Ace's starters lacking energy, Washington was able to secure the 78-62 victory. In the defeat, the Mystics covered the +10-point spread, and held Vegas to 21 percent three-point shooting. Mind you, the Aces are the top team in the league on both sides of the ball and lead the league in three-point percentage. Delle Donne led the way with 21 points, followed by Atkins with 16. It's important to note, Brittney Skyes is questionable tonight with an illness. The Mystic's guard is averaging 15.5 points, 2.2 steals, and is a dynamic force on the defensive end.

In both teams' first matchup, Las Vegas defeated Washington, 113-89, and covered the -17.5-point spread. The Mystics, without Delle Donne and Atkins, couldn't get any stops on the defensive end. Aces Star A'ja Wilson finished with a 40 piece, followed four players with points in double figures. By the end of regulation, Vegas shot 50 percent from the three, and 94 percent from the free-throw line. For Washington, Hawkins, Sykes, Hines-Allen, and Cloud each had points in double digits.

Why the Washinton Mystics can cover

The Las Vegas Aces still remain the top seeded team at 30-6. In fact, Becky Hammons team is 16-1 at home, and leads the team in net rating. However, August has not been kind to the Aces. 4 of their 6 losses came since August 15th, and they dropped three of their last five games. Coming off a rough road schedule, Las Vegas is 0-5 against the spread in their last five, and covered once in the last seven games.

After the Liberty defeated the Aces on Monday night, Las Vegas Head Coach Becky Hammon mentioned resting her starters. She admitted that her star players have been overplayed, and that the second bench unit will have significant minutes moving forward. “Fatigue starts to set in because you start to overplay people,” she said. “That’s part of the problem, too, is some of our depth, but we’re going to continue playing our bench. "(Andy Yamashita?Las Vegas Review-Journal).

The Aces to rest their starters?

With Becky Hammon plans to start more of her bench players, I definitely like Washington to cover this spread if you're betting on the WNBA. It's a large margin at +10.5, and the Aces rank last in the league in bench production (13.3 points). On average, the second unit shoots only 31.2 percent from the three, and rank second to last in minutes per game (10.2). With Candace Parker out for the season, the Aces bench consists of Alysha Clark, Cayla George, Sydney Colson, and Kierstan Bell. In their last matchup against Washington, the second unit had a total of 8 points.

If you're betting on the WNBA, I like Washington to cover the +10.5 spread, especially if Hammon plans to rest her starters. With Washington only having a two-game lead over the 8th seed, I am confident they will play tough in tonight's matchup.

WNBA Daily: Prop Bet Odds & Stats for August 27th

Sara Jane Gamelli — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 19:56:08 +0000

There are three games remaining on the WNBA Betting slate for Sunday, August 27th. If you're looking for the straight betting odds, check out my latest article here. In this article, I will give our best predictions and analysis for daily prop bets. If you're interested in watching all games, the WNBA League Pass is available. If you are looking for the best WNBA betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

https://twitter.com/WNBA/status/1695804702955364617/photo/1

Kelsey Mitchell O 2.5 Threes Made (-113)

Kelsey Mitchell scored a season-high 36 points, NaLyssa Smith & Aliyah Boston recorded a pair of double-doubles and Grace Berger provided a spark off the bench in the win.

tap to read last night's game recap.
— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) August 25, 2023

PPG: 17.9 | FG: 43.7% | 3 PT: 39.4 % | FT: 83.6 % | REB: 1.5 | AST: 3.1 |STL: 0.8 | BLK: .1

Indiana Fever guard, Kelsey Mitchell earned her first trip to the WNBA All-Star game this season. In the guards sixth year in the WNBA, she's averaging career-highs in minutes, and is shooting close to 40 percent from downtown. In addition, the All-Star ranks 10th in the league in total points scored (610), fourth in minutes per game (1134), and 5th in three-pointers made (84). Although the Indiana Fever rank towards the bottom of the standings, they are 5th in offensive efficiency, averaging nearly 81 points a game.

Mitchell, 27 is coming off an impressive game in Indiana's win over Seattle. In the win, Mitchell scored 36 points in 37 minutes, on 10-20, and 44 percent three-point shooting. In addition, number zero is averaging 33.8 minutes, 22 points, 14 field goal attempts, and 6.6 three-point attempts per game. Overall, that's nearly five points over her average this season, and almost two three-point attempts higher than July.

Although this prop never hit over two made threes in both matchups against Atlanta, Mitchell is averaging 22 points, and 5.5 three-point attempts. Conversely, in this month, the Fever guard hit over 2.5 three-pointers 55 percent, and 80 percent in the last five games.

Overall, the Fever are facing playoff elimination, and Mitchell has emerged as one of their top offensive weapons. She faces an Atlanta Dream team, who ranks third in perimeter defense. However, Atlanta holds the worse win percentage in the month of August and dropped to 8th in defensive efficiency in the past 27 days. If you're betting on WNBA prop bets, look for Mitchell to continue her hot streak today.

Rhyne Howard Under 4.5 rebounds (-130/ Over 2.5 threes made (-113)

She is COLD @howard_rhyne #atlantadream pic.twitter.com/3QX9TZ5XsM
— Atlanta Dream (@AtlantaDream) August 26, 2023

PPG: 17.7 | FG: 40.4 % | 3 PT: 37.4 % | FT: 78.1 % | REB: 4.5 |AST: 3.2 |STL: 1.4 | BLK: 0.6

Rhyne Howard, former rookie of the year, remains one of the most vital parts of this Atlanta team. Averaging 4.5 rebounds per game, Howard hit the over on this prop in five of the last eight games. Howard, six foot two, will face the Indiana Fever, who rank 6th in total rebounds, and lead the league in opposing boards per game (32).

In two games against Indiana, this prop hit once, and Howard was held to four rebounds most recent. Overall, the Fever rank third in total rebound percentage, and the Dream rank 9th in the Month of August. In addition, the Fever are coming off a 90-86 win, in which Smith and Boston combined for 21 total rebounds. If you're betting on WNBA props, I like the under for this prop.

Howard has been hot as anyone behind the three-point line. If you're betting on the WNBA, I like Rhyne Howard over 2.5 threes made. Even with Allisha Gray available this afternoon, the all-star hit this prop 60 percent in the last ten games, and 80 percent through the past five. It's important to note, Howard hit over 2.5 threes 66 percent this season. Even though Atlanta lost four of their last five, Howard is averaging over 34 minutes, 16 points, and 14.5 field goal attempts through this month.

Aliyah Boston O 14.5 PTS (-115)

this angle.

Kristy Wallace Aliyah Boston. https://t.co/2DHt9qJOt8 pic.twitter.com/SvaBMmmw16
— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) August 25, 2023

PPG: 14.6 | FG: 59.3 % | 3 PT: 57.1 % | FT: 76.4 % | REB: 8.2 |AST: 2.1 |STL: 1.3 | BLK: 1.4

Rookie Aliyah Boston remains at the center of WNBA rookie of the year talk. Averaging just over 14 points a game, Boston hit this prop 66 percent this month, and over 50 percent this year. In addition, Boston has 50 combined points in her last two matchups against Atlanta. She in fact has average of 33 minutes, and 18.5 field goal attempts in two of those meetings.

Considered one of the most clutch players this season, Boston faces an Atlanta team that allows over 35 points in the paint this season. Given her matchup with the Dream this season, look for Boston to fight tonight, and continue to put on a show for possible rookie of the year.

WNBA Daily Betting Odds, Stats, & Predictions for Sunday, August 27th

Sara Jane Gamelli — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 18:02:21 +0000

Written & edited by

Sara Jane Gamelli

There are four games on the WNBA betting slate for Sunday, August 27th. With the first matchup beginning at 1 PM, the Phoenix Mercury, Seattle Storm, and Indiana Fever will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss. Conversely, with the playoffs looming, Connecticut, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Dallas will look to solidify their playoff positions.

Among six games left, the Chicago Sky remain 2.5 games behind the Sparks, for the 8th and final playoff seed. If you're looking to bet on the WNBA, I will discuss the straight betting odds, statistics, information, trends, and my best straight bet predictions. The matchups today will air on CBSSN, NBA TV, in addition to the WNBA League Pass. If you are looking for the best WNBA betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

Daily WNBA Betting Odds for 8/27

^{Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook}

Connecticut Sun -6 (-110)

The Connecticut Sun (23-11) have clinched a playoff spot, and retain the third seed in the WNBA. If you're betting on the WNBA, you may be wondering why I choose Connecticut. Yes, this is head Coach Curt Millers first time back to Connecticut since leaving. Additionally, Los Angeles is 5-0 against the spread, and 7-3 ATS in the past ten games. Connecticut may be 2-3 ATS in their past five games, however, they remain one of the most elite teams on the defensive end, and have the star power in Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner.

In their only matchup of the season, the Connecticut Sun defeated the Sparks, 83-74, in which the Sun covered the four-point spread. In addition, Millers team shot nearly 40 percent from three, and held Los Angeles to 21 percent from long distance. This was also a time where the Sparks didn't have consistency in their starting five, and were plagued by injuries. Furthermore, the Sun had star Brionna Jones, who is now out indefinitely with an injury,

It's no question the Sparks have the second-best record in the month of August and have a 2.5 lead over Chicago for the final playoff spot. With the stellar recent play of Thomas and Bonner, the Sun hold the opposition to only 79 points per game, and 31 percent from downtown. Additionally, Connecticut has won two of their last three, which includes a gut wrenching loss to New York in overtime.

Chicago Sky vs. Seattle Storm O 161.5 (-110)

The Seattle Storm have entered a transition period, with the off-season losses of Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart. Seattle remains out of playoff contention at 10-24 and will try to keep their hopes alive. However, if the Storm lose against Chicago, they will in fact be eliminated from the postseason. Overall, the Chicago Sky have one win in their last seven, and the Storm with one in their last four. Both teams hit the over in their last two games, despite Seattle being ranked 10th in offensive efficiency this month.

In three matchups this season, Chicago holds the 2-1 lead, in which they covered the spread two times. Furthermore, 66 percent of their meetings this year hit the over, in which Chicago scored 102 points in game three. With the loss of Gabby Williams, the Storms offense most entirely falls on MVP candidate Jewell Loyd. Comprehensively, Chicago averages 88 points a game against Seattle this season, and the Storm, 79 against the blue and white.

Throughout the month of August, Chicago ranks 4th in offensive rating. Since August 1st, the Sky average 35.5 percent from three, and rank second in field goal percentage (45.2). In a hard fought 94-87 loss against the Aces, Mabrey, Copper, and Williams had points in double figures, in addition to 18 points from the bench. Over the last ten games, both teams are averaging 166 points together, and Chicago rough at 85 points per game. Seattle plays at a faster pace, and with both teams fighting for a playoff spot, I expect this game to be hard fought. If you're betting on the WNBA, I like the over on this game.

Dallas Wings -8.5 (-110)

The Dallas Wings (18-16) will face the Phoenix Mercury (9-24) on the road tonight. Also, Phoenix will be without star Diana Taurasi, due to an injury. Although Phoenix is still in playoff contention, that will end tonight with a loss. After losing four straight games, in addition to spread coverage, Phoenix will face one of the top offenses tonight. In their last four games, the purple and orange are averaging only 67 points a game, and rank last in pace, and points per game. Even with Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi, the Mercury rank near last on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. If you're betting on the WNBA, they are 12-21 against the spread, and covered only three times in the last ten games.

In three matchups this season, Dallas has won all of them, and covered the spread twice. Although Satou Sabally is listed as questionable, the Wings have offensive talent in their starting five, and rank first in rebounds. With Natasha Howard, Arike Ogunbowale, Crystal Dangerfield, and Teaira McCowan, this squad shouldn't have a problem tonight. In those three meetings, the Wings average close to 84 points against Phoenix, and haven't let them score over 77 points.

If Sabally is unable to perform for tonight's game, Dallas will be without their biggest defender, and scorer. However, Diana Taurasi makes up 21 percent of her team's offense, who has the worst point differential in the WNBA. Although Dallas is coming off back-to-back losses against Minnesota, they are averaging 90 points in the last five, including two wins against the Connecticut Sun. Even though Dallas is one of the least productive teams from downtown, they lead the league in rebounds, whereas the Mercury rank last. If you're betting on the WNBA, I like Dallas to cover here.

PPG: 22.6 | FG: 45.7% | 3 PT: 36.7% | FT: 85.4% % | REB: 9.2 |AST: 6 |STL: 3.7 | BLK: 1.6

Through the month of August, "Stewie" is playing around 36 minutes per game, and attempts nearly 18 field goals a game. Meanwhile, the 2018 WNBA MVP averages 9 three point pursuits this month, and 20 points a game.

In the Liberty's two matchups against Minnesota, Breanna Stewart is averaging 20 points a game, 36 minutes, and 20 field goal attempts. The Liberty star hit 3-9 threes in game one and has a combined 15 attempts from downtown in both games. This is a nice matchup against the Lynx, who allow opponents to shoot 34.6 percent from downtown. They also allow 25.6 threes attempted per game, which is the most of any team. Stewart ranks top ten in three point attempts this season (188) and is surrounded by playmakers in Vandersloot and Ionescu.

If you're betting on the WNBA, I like this prop due to Stewies volume in minutes played and field goal attempts. With Jonquel Jones dominating inside the paint, Steward has been able to stretch the floor, and ranks 10th in three pointers made this season (69). Overall, she's one of the most dominant players in the league, and the leader of this Liberty team.

PPG: 18.9 | FG: 48.2 % | 3 PT: 39.7 % | FT: 91.9 % | REB: 2.5 | AST: 4.4 |STL: 2 | BLK: 1

Las Vegas Aces guard, Kelsey Plum is coming off a 23-point performance, in which she shot 5-12 from downtown, against Chicago. Plum, 29, is a career 39.8 percent three-point shooter, and is averaging practically 40 percent from downtown this season. The Aces start hit this prop 50 percent of the season, and more specifically, three of the last games. In reality, Plum made 3-5 three-pointers against Washington, and hit this prop five times this month.

Over the month of August, Kelsey Plum is averaging 16.6 points per game, 33.4 minutes, and over 6 three-point attempts per game. Moreover, Plum averages close to 13 field goal attempts per game.

The forward will face an injury riddled team, who allows opponents to shoot 35.6 percent from downtown, and over 22 threes attempted per game. Plum ranks 6th in three point attempts this season (204), and will face the Mystics, who have one of the worst defensive ratings since the beginning of August.

A'ja Wilson O 20.5 Points (-115)

PPG: 22.1| FG: 54.3% | 3 PT: 24 % | FT: 81 % | REB: 9.5 |AST: 1.8 |STL: 1.4 | BLK: 2.1

Aces star A'ja Wilson has been nearly unstoppable, as she ranks second in the league in points this season (753). Through 34 games, the former MVP leads the WNBA in field goals made (273), and shows no signs of slowing down, despite the Aces 30-win season. Wilson, 27, recently tied the WNBA record with 53 points, and hit over 20.5 points 60 percent of the season. In fact, A'ja scored a career-high at the time 40 points in her only matchup against Washington, and hit this prop three of the last five games. In that matchup, Wilson attempted 25 field goals, and shot 68 percent from the field.

Overall, A'ja is having a career year in her sixth season with Las Vegas. In addition, the former MVP is averaging career highs in points, blocks, rebounds, and field goal percentage (54.3). For August, the forward is averaging 24 points, 36 minutes, and 22 field goal attempts per game. If you're betting on the WNBA, Wilson is shooting an incredible 54.3 percent from the field, and will face a Washington team who has been one of the worst defensive teams this month.

Los Angeles Sparks -1.5 (-115)

5 game win streak! pic.twitter.com/cvhL9Fv7h3
— Los Angeles Sparks (@LASparks) August 24, 2023

The Los Angeles Sparks remain one of the hottest teams in the WNBA and stand at 5-2 in the month of August. Fresh off a five-game win streak, Curt Millers Sparks head into tonight's matchup with a two-game lead over the Chicago Sky for the 8th seed. With eight games left to play in the regular season, Los Angeles looks to improve upon their 5-10 record on the road. The Atlanta Dream are coming off a 112-100 loss against the Las Vegas Aces, which was a high scoring affair. Unfortunately, Atlanta's star Allisha Gray is doubtful for tonight's game, due to an ankle injury. Although Atlanta claims the 6th seed, they've dropped four of the last five, and only covered the spread twice, in five games.

Season Matchup

Tonight, is the final matchup of the regular season between the Sparks and the Dream. In the first two games, Atlanta defeated Los Angeles, in which they nearly averaged 92 points per game. In their last meeting, less than two weeks ago, the Sparks defeated the Dream 85-74.

It's easy to look at the matchups, and see Atlanta has dominated throughout the matchups, including spread coverage. Although Gray wasn't a factor much last game, all eyes will be on Rhyne Howard and Cheyenne Parker tonight.

Through three events, the Dream outscored the Sparks by 28 points. In Game one, Howard erupted for 43 points, in which Atlanta shot 43 percent from the three. In addition, Nneka Ogwumike led the way for the Sparks with 25 points.

Although Atlanta was a powerhouse through the first few games, Los Angeles held them to 74 points in game three. Los Angeles held Atlanta to 17 percent shooting from downtown, in which they shot 4-23.

Why the Sparks will Cover

Although there are multiple matchups to compare, we cannot ignore the level of basketball the Sparks are playing as of right now. In the month of August, the Sparks have the third best win percentage, and have a consistent starting lineup. Plagued with injuries, Millers squad ranks first in three-point percentage (43), second in free-throw percentage (85), and fifth in total points this month. Moreover, Los Angeles allows 80.4 opponent points per game, whereas the Dream allow 84.5 points. Through every matchup, the Sparks have become an efficient defensive team, ranking second in opponent three-point percentage per game (31.2). In addition, the purple and gold hold their competitors to 7 made three-pointers per game, 66.2 field goal attempts, and rank 2nd in defensively efficiency this month.

If you're betting on the WNBA, the Sparks are 5-0 against the spread, and 7-3 in their last ten games. In fact, they have an overall record of 16-14-2, and average 16 points off turnovers. Through the last ten games, LA is averaging 89 points a game, and limiting the opposition to 76 points. With a consistent starting five, we've seen the emergence of Jordin Canada, Layshia Clarendon, Azura Stevens, and Karlie Samuelson, in addition to Ogwumike.

Final Prediction

Tonight, the Atlanta Dream will be without star Allisha Gray, who accounts for twenty percent of the offense. Although Atlanta lost four of their last five, they scored 100 points against the Aces on Thursday. In that defeat, Howard led the way with 27 points, and Haley Jones with 23 points off the bench. If you're betting on the WNBA, tonight's game should be a tough battle. The Dream rank third in rebounds, and 5th overall in points. With playoffs on the line, I expect both teams to play competitive. Los Angeles has played exceptional defense as of late, trapping players, and playing the perimeter tight.

Daily WNBA Betting Odds

^{Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook}

New York Liberty -5.5 (-110)

The New York Liberty (25-7, 13-3 Away) will face the Connecticut Sun (23-10, 9-5 Home) on the road tonight. Sandy Brondello's squad is coming off an 85-63 win against the Mercury, in which they covered the 12.5 spread. In addition, New York 8-2 in their last ten games, and covered the spread in six of the last seven games. Led by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, the Liberty remain one of the prolific offenses in the league. In fact, New York ranks second in points scored, three-point percentage, and leads the league in three-pointers made and attempted. Although the Liberty are 15-17-0 against the spread, Brondello's squad covered in five straight games in July. That includes two wins over the top seeded team, the Las Vegas Aces.

The New York Liberty will travel to Connecticut tonight and face the reigning 2022 WNBA finalists. Through 33 games, Stephanie White's team ranks second in defense efficiency, in which Connecticut holds opponents to 78.7 points per game. Although the Sun lost Brionna Jones due to injury, Connecticut has maintained the third best record in the East and punched their way into the playoffs.

Season Matchups

The Liberty are 2-0 against the Connecticut Sun this season, in which one of their wins came on the road. Furthermore, New York covered the spread in both, including -4.5, and -6.5 favored spreads. Moreover, the Liberty have been favored in 27 total games, and won 14 of them. This team heads into this matchup with one of the best away records, and remain undefeated against the spread versus Eastern teams (last four games). Although these two teams haven't matched up in nearly two months, New York held Connecticut to 65 points in Game one.

The Connecticut Sun stand as one of the finest defensive teams in the league. First in opponent points per game, White's team holds the opposition to 31 percent shooting beyond the arc, and only 30.8 attempts per game. Conversely, the Sun have lost three of their last five games, even with the stardom of Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner. Over the last five games, the Sun are averaging 77.4 points a game, which is almost six points less than their average. In addition, in their 68-64 win over the Mystics, DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas accounted for 57 percent of the offense. Besides Tiffany Hayes, Connecticut has received inconsistent offense from Natisha Hiedeman. In game two, the Liberty had four starters with points in double figures and were simply the more effective shooting team.

Why the Liberty can cover

The Liberty are undefeated against the spread and moneyline against Connecticut this season. Through two games, New York is averaging 85 points and seems to be able to read the opposing defense. One of the most prolific offensive teams, New York is averaging nearly 90 points in the last ten games. In addition, New York has created separation in terms of net rating, holding a firm four-point lead in that category. With the Liberty improving on defense post all-star break, along with depth, and chemistry, I expect them to win the moneyline, and take the -5.5 spread. If you're betting on the WNBA, I am confident about this game.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Chicago Sky O 169

The Las Vegas Aces (29-4, 13-3 Away) will matchup against the Chicago Sky (13-20, 6-11 Home) tonight on the road. Becky Hammons squad is coming off a 112-100 win over the Atlanta Dream, in which ored a record tying 53 points. In addition, Aces guard, Kelsey Plum had a double-double, and Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray finished with points in double figures. Although the Aces are one of the most dominant teams in the league, four of their losses came in the month of August, including the Commissioners Cup against New York. Overall, the Aces are 19-4-0 against game totals, and over hit in their last matchup.

Season Matchups

Becky Hammon, Head Coach of the Las Vegas Aces, led her team to two straight victories against the Chicago Sky. In those two matchups, Chicago covered the spreads, and the over point hit two times. In their last matchup, Las Vegas defeated the Sky 107-95, in which Chicago shot 54 percent from the three-point line. For Chicago, Kahleah Cooper led the way with 37 points, and for the Aces, Kelsey Plum with 27. Overall, Las Vegas dominated the Sky 50-24 in the paint, and four of their starters had points in double figures.

Why the over can hit

Both teams have been on a similar trend, hitting the over after several straight unders. In the last ten games, both squads are averaging nearly 90 points a game. Since the All-Star break, Vegas has retained both the Aces and Sky are top four in offensive production. In fact, both squad rank top fourth in three-point percentage.

With the playoffs in sight, the Chicago Sky remain 1.5 games behind the Los Angeles Sparks for the 8th and final seed. The Sky recently dropped 102 points against Seattle, in which Dana Evans scored 23 points off the bench. With the regression of the Aces defense post All-Star break combined with the Sky fighting for a playoff spot, I expect this game to hit the over. In addition, their average in two games total is 189 points. If you're betting on the WNBA, I would expect the over here tonight.

In fact, the former UCLA guard had back-to-back 20-point games and, hit over 15 plus points in four of the six games this month. Furthermore, Canada has four straight games with points in double digits, which includes wins over Atlanta and Las Vegas.

Both Canada and Clarendon have been a dominant force for the Sparks backcourt. Moreover, Canada has 19 steals in the past six games, and is averaging 36.8 minutes, nearly 12 field goal attempts per game. In addition, the Sparks guard is averaging over 16 points in the last four games.

Why Jordin Canada can score over 15 points

Overall, Phoenix leads the league in the most turnovers per game (15.3), in which the Sparks force opponents to swing the ball over 14.4 times per game. Additionally, the Sparks play at a faster pace, whereas the Mercury rank last. Also, Los Angeles currently ranks third in the league in percentage of points off turnovers. The Mercury rank last in the league in rebounding, which will not help their case tonight. Without Griner, look for fast break opportunities, turnovers, and a substantial amount of inside scoring by Jordin Canada. It's important to note that Canada is shooting 89 percent from the line, and shot 10 plus free-throws in the past four games.

If you're looking to bet on Jordin Canada over points, she hit this prop 70 percent in the last ten games, and 60 percent in the last five. With the amount of volume shots and high minutes played, I expect Canada to lead the backcourt tonight.

Layshia Clarendon 13+ PTS & AST (-225)

Layshia was relentless on the court today.

PPG:?9.5?| FG:?47.1%?| 3 PT:?48.3 %?| FT:?90 %?| REB:?3?|AST:?3.4?|STL: 0.9?| BLK:?0

On June 9th, the Los Angeles Sparks announced guard Layshia Clarendon would miss 4-6 weeks, due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia. Before the injury, Clarendon would only play five games with the team, in which the guard averaged nine points and assists. Out more than a month, the Los Angeles Sparks went 3-10 the next 13 games, and found themselves in the basement of the Western Conference.

Upon the Guards return on July 20th, Clarendon has led the Sparks to a 6-5 record, in which Los Angeles finds themselves fighting for the 8th seed. It's evident that Layshia Clarendon brought something back to the starting lineup, which is consistency and persistence. Los Angeles Sparks Head Coach, Curt Miller spoke to reporters on the importance of Clarendon in the lineup, and what it means to the team. "I just can't emphasize enough, how Layshia changes our toughness, and our physicality," Miller told the press. "When you look at the 14 games that she missed, compared to what our record looks like with Layshia Clarendon in the lineup, she oozes a toughness for us, and people feed off that." (LA Sparks)

Why this prop can hit

Coach Miller couldn't be more right about one of the most impactful players on this roster. We've seen Clarendon be a force on both ends of the court, constantly chasing for the ball, and trapping opposing players. For a player that plays strong, Clarendon has three straight games with points in double figures. That includes a recent 22-point game and 5 assists against Las Vegas. In addition, the Sparks guard hit over 13 points and assists in four of six games this month.

Although Clarendon didn't hit over this prop in three games against the Mercury, they will be without stars Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner. Given these two teams haven't matched up since July, we have to look at the recent play of Layshia and the rest of the team. In fact, Given No. 25 has 15 assists in three games, look for her to shine against the injury depleted team, that allow 19 assists per game.

Sara Jane Gamelli

The Phoenix Mercury (9-23, 1-14 Away) will matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks (13-18, 8-8 Home) on the road tonight. The Sparks are coming off a four-game win streak, which includes an exhilarating victory over the Las Vegas Aces. Subsequently, Los Angeles retains the 8th and final playoff seed. Conversely, the Phoenix Mercury dropped three straight games, and remain outside of playoff contention.

With under three weeks to go in the traditional season, these two teams will matchup for the final time, in which the Sparks lead the series, 2-1. In this article, I will break down the WNBA Betting odds, stats, trends, and predictions. The game will begin at 10 PM EST, at Crypto.com Arena, located in Los Angeles, California. If you're looking to watch and bet on the game, it will air on CBSSN. If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

WNBA Betting: Phoenix Mercury vs. LA Sparks Odds

^{Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook}

Los Angeles Sparks -10.5 (-108)

4-game win streak! pic.twitter.com/pjcbbGXdxw
— Los Angeles Sparks (@LASparks) August 19, 2023

The Los Angeles Sparks remain one of the leading teams in the month of August. The Sparks, led by Head Coach Curt Miller, won four straight contests, and 6 of their last 10 games. Furthermore, Millers squad is 4-2 in the month of August, and 6-3 as of July 25th. Los Angeles, riddled with injuries for the entirety of the season, continues to hold the final playoff seed. In fact, with nine games left until playoffs, the purple and gold have a one game lead over Chicago for the 8th seed. Seeming to have inconsistency with starters, the Sparks once had 12 different starting lineups in the first 20 games. For the 6th straight game, Curt Miller has been able to coach a team with a consistent starting five.

Although the Sparks rank 11th in offensive efficiency, they've slowly climbed the ladder on the defensive end. Once one of lowest teams, in terms of defensive ratings, Los Angeles now ranks 4th in opponent points per game. Ranked second in the league, the Sparks are 2nd in opponent three-point (31.4), and free throw percentage (78.2). Led by All-Star Nneka Ogwumike, the Sparks are averaging an improbable 85 points per game, while holding the opposition to 77 points per game. During the hot streak, Los Angeles is shooting nearly 43 percent from the three, and 46 percent from the field.

Even though the Sparks are without Lexie Brown Nia Clouden, and others, they are playing with resilience, and are vigorous around the perimeter. Most recently, Millers team knocked off the top seed, the Las Vegas Aces, 78-72. Moreover, they became the only team in the WNBA to defeat the Aces on their homecourt and saw chances off turnovers.

Season Matchup's: Mercury vs. Sparks

The Los Angeles Sparks lead the season series 2-1, in which they covered the spread the first two games. Though the second game was extended into overtime, both teams will be without key players. The Mercury will be without stars Diana Taurasi, and Brittney Griner, and the Sparks without Lexie Brown. For Phoenix, their two stars make up nearly 45 percent of the offense, which will be hard to replace. For Los Angeles, they will be without Lexie Brown, who scored a game-high 26 points in overtime, game 2 against the Mercury.

It's difficult to get a true sense of what this matchup will be, especially without fundamental players. In game three, Phoenix defeated the Sparks, who were without Clarendon, Brown, Clouden, and Samuelson. Nikki Blue, Interim Head Coach, will not have Griner available tonight, due to health and safety protocols. In their last contest, Griner scored a game-high 29 points, and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Why the Sparks can cover

Tonight, is as simple as it gets. One of the finest recent teams, will play a depleted Mercury squad. As mentioned before, Phoenix will be without stars Diana Taurasi, and Brittney Griner. Overall, the purple and orange are 3-7 in their last ten games, dropped three straight games, along with spread covereage. Comprehensively, the Mercury are 12-20-0 against the spread, and only covered in four of the last ten games played. In addition, Phoenix ranks near last on both sides of the ball. Ranked 10th in offense and defense, they are last in points, and field goal attempts per game. Guard Sophie Cunningham, Moriah Jefferson, Michaela Onyenwere, and Megan Gustafson will get the call tonight against the Sparks.

Curt Miller has always been a coach that's adapted to adversity. Once the head coach of the Connecticut Sun, Miller led the franchise to the WNBA finals in 2022, and six straight playoff appearances. As the Sparks barely hold onto the final playoff spot, they look to extend their win streak to five. As a team, Los Angeles is 15-14-2 against the spread, and covered in eight straight games. In addition, the Sparks have impressive spread covers against the Las Vegas Aces, Atlanta Dream, Washington Mystics, and the New York Liberty.

The starting unit for the Sparks is starting to gel, especially with Jordin Canada, Nneka Ogwumike, and Layshia Clarendon. These three players combined for 61 points against the Aces, and played admirable defense, especially on the perimeter. With the Sparks finally having some consistency, this is a textbook matchup, and should be able to dominate the moneyline and spread, especially with two opposing players out tonight. Look for the Sparks to continue to fight for a spot in the postseason.

Bonus: I'm, going with the under on this game.

Player Prop Picks of the day

Erica Wheeler O 9.5 Points (-136)

Erica Wheeler notched a double-digit performance along with surpassing 1,000 career assists tonight.

12 PTS | 6 REB | 3 AST | 1 STL pic.twitter.com/MjpE3UFxTQ
— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) August 19, 2023

PPG:?10.4 | FG:?41.9 %?| 3 PT:?32.1%?| FT:?86.2 %?| REB:?2.9 |AST:?5?|STL:?0.9?| BLK:?0.1

Fever guard, Erica Wheeler is averaging nearly 13 points per game in the month of August and shooting 55 percent from the three-point in the last three matchups. Wheeler has played consistent basketball, next to Rookie Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Nalyssa Smith. If you're betting on the WNBA, the Fever guard hit over 9.5 points in three straight games, and in 85 percent of games this month. For the month of July, Wheeler hit this prop in five straight games, and in 50 percent of the games. Additionally, Wheeler 9.5 points and over hit 60 percent of the games, and 80 percent in the last five, and ten games.

Overall, the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever both stand in the bottom of the rankings. With the two teams under ten wins, Phoenix is 3-7 in their last ten games, and the Fever, 2-8. Phoenix ranks 10th in defensive rating (107.1), and Indiana ranks 7th overall in offensive rating. With the series split 1-1, Erica Wheeler is averaging 10.5 points, and shooting 52 percent from downtown in two games against Phoenix. If you're betting on the WNBA, it's important to know Erica Wheeler hit this prop in both games against the Mercury, and will matchup against a team who allows opposing teams to shoot nearly 35 precent from the three. After being undrafted, Erica Wheeler is back in her second stint with Indiana, and has become more consistent with this young core.

Aliyah Boston O 8.5 REB (-125)

last night Aliyah Boston passed Tamika Catchings for first all-time in franchise history in field goals made by a rookie.@AnthemBCBS | #INforRed pic.twitter.com/uDi1r078pP

PPG:?14.9?| FG:?59.7 %?| 3 PT:?66.7 %?| FT:?76 %?|REB:?8.3?|AST: 2.3 |STL:?1.3?|BLK:?1.3

Forward Aliyah Boston, out of South Carolina, is having a praiseworthy rookie season. After starting as a rookie in this year's All-Star game, Boston is dominating her inaugural season. In fact, Boston (Fever). "

Bound to break a number of records, Boston snagged over 8.5 rebounds in three of the last five games. In particular, the Fever forward has four double-doubles in the month of August, and is coming off a 16-point, 10 rebound game against the Washington Mystics. Out of the seven games in August, Boston hit over 8.5 rebounds in six games, and twice against Phoenix.

In two games against the Mercury, Aliyah Boston is averaging 10 rebounds. In addition, Indiana ranks first in the league in opponent rebounds per game (31.9), and the Mercury will be without star Brittney Griner tonight. As a whole, Phoenix ranks last in the league in rebounds per game (30.9), whereas Indiana ranks 6th (34.4). If you're betting on the WNBA, the stellar recent play of Boston, along with the matchup, should be two confident reasons why this prop will hit.

Napheesa Collier O 21.5 PTS (-115)

Queen Phee at the half

17 PTS | 5 REB | 3 AST | 5-8 FG pic.twitter.com/TEywYTMvSq

PPG:?21.5 | FG: 47.8 %?| 3 PT:?30.3 %?| FT:?83.8 %?|REB:?7.9?|AST:?2.5 |STL:?1.5?|BLK:?1

After only playing 4 games in 2022, and sitting out a few games with injury this season, Napheesa Collier is back. Coming off a 24-point performance against Seattle, Collier hit over 21.5 points in 60 percent of the last five games. In addition, the fellow Connecticut Husky scored over 21.5 points in 50 percent of the games this month, and four games in July. In fact, three of her best games came against the Seattle Storm. Collier is averaging 29.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and is shooting 50 percent from the field in all of her matchups against the Storm, including 19 field goal attempts per game, in 37.6 minutes. Furthermore, Napheesa made the go ahead shot in overtime, where the Lynx beat the Storm 99-97, on June 29th.

If you're betting on the WNBA, I would feel confident about this prop. Although Seattle ranks 6th in opponent points per game (83.3), they are missing frontcourt depth the absence of Gabby Williams. Look for Collier to continue to have another dominant game, after a 78-70 win over Seattle on Friday

Connecticut -5.5 (-110)

The Connecticut Sun (21-10, 12-5 Away) will matchup against Chicago Sky (12-19, 5-10 Home) on the road. Although Connecticut is coming off a three-game losing streak, they remain one of the most elite teams on both sides of the ball. Led by Head Coach Stephanie White, the Sun stand alone as the third overall seed, and are one of the most assertive teams on the defensive end. Over the last three games, the Sun dropped two consecutive games to Dallas, and Phoenix. Furthermore, Connecticut couldn't cover the spread in each of those meetings.

Season Matchups

Conversely, Whites squad is undefeated against the Chicago Sky. In two matchups, the Sun held Chicago to 72 points, and nearly averaged 90 points a game. Additionally, the Sun have a 36-point differential, and forced 37 total turnovers. Despite the fact that Connecticut lost star Brionna Jones, they have prevailed and managed ways to achieve wins this season. Led by the dynamic duo of DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas, Connecticut prides themselves on uniqueness and talent. In both events, Thomas had back-to-back double doubles, in which she snagged 18 rebounds. In addition, All-Star DeWanna Bonner is averaging 23.5 points and 8 rebounds against the blue. Together, the pair make up 40 percent of the offense, which excludes the dependable play of Tiffany Hayes. Overall, the Sun have two double-digit wins over the Sky, and Connecticut covering is the more sensible pick.

Why the Sun can cover

The Chicago Sky, led by Head Coach Emre Vatansever, are 15-14-2 overall against the spread this season. However, the Sky have gone frigid, losing four straight games against Atlanta, Washington, New York, and Minnesota. Additionally, Chicago hasn't been able to cover to spread in those losses. In their 67-78 loss against the Atlanta, the offense was severely suppressed, in which the heart and soul of the Sky offense crumbled. Even worse, Kahleah Copper, Courtney Williams, Alanna Smith, and Marina Mabrey combined for an underwhelming 33 points. Once WNBA champions, the Sky remain one game out of playoff contention. On paper, Chicago is comparable to Connecticut offensively in the rankings. Conversely, the Sky rank 9th in defensive rating, and are last in the league in opponent field goal percentage (45.7 percent).

It's no secret the Connecticut Sun haven't played their best basketball as of late. However, the Sun have two elite players on the roster, and rank within the top four in points per game, three-point percentage, and steals. This team is one year removed from a final's appearance, and still survive as the top defensive team in the league. Connecticut prides themselves on scoring in the paint and is holding opponents to a league low 31.8 three-point percentage. Furthermore, the Sun rank first in the league in field goal attempts per game (65.7). If this team can hit improve on their free throws, and offense, Connecticut shouldn't have a problem. Forward Alyssa Thomas can be challenging to guard and is the "first player in WNBA history with 300 rebounds and 250 assists in a single season (The Sporting News).

A'ja Wilson O 21.5 PTS (-110)

PPG:?21.2?| FG:?53.7 %?| 3 PT:?21.7 %?| FT:?79.3 %?|REB:?9.6?|AST:?1.9?|STL:?1.4?|BLK:?2.1

Both the Sparks and the Aces are playing extremely well, and I expect A'ja Wilson to dominate, as she continues to be involved in the WNBA MVP conversation. In the Aces 88-75 win over the New York Liberty, Wilson had 21 points, 8 rebounds, and shot 54 percent from the field. In addition, Wilson achieved 3500 career points, in which she is the y. (Las Vegas Aces).

Normally, I would take the under for Wilson at 21.5 Points. This prop has hit only 44 percent of the season, and 40 percent in the last five games. In three games against Los Angeles this season, Wilson scored over 21.5 points in two games, and is averaging 28 points against the Sparks this season.

After a disappointing outcome in the Commissioner's Cup, I expect Wilson to have a monstrous game. Given that the Aces forward was held to 18 points in two games against the Liberty, she will be out for revenge.

If you're betting on the Sparks vs. Aces game, Las Vegas has scored nearly 100 points in all three contests. In fact, Vegas is averaging 94.6 points against the Sparks, and Wilson outscored Los Angeles herself in the last matchup. On July 12th, A'ja finished with 25 points, on 9-14 field goal shooting.

Chelsea Gray O 6.5 AST (-135)

— Las Vegas Aces (@LVAces) August 18, 2023

PPG:?15.2?| FG:?50 %?| 3 PT: 44.8 %?| FT:?91.9 %?|REB:?3.7 |AST:?7 |STL:?1.5?|BLK:?0.6?

Aces guard, Chelsea Gray became the first player in Aces franchise history to ever finish a game with a triple double. In a win against the New York Liberty on Thursday, Gray finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Furthermore, the Las Vegas guard made more history following Thursday's game. Chelsey Gray is the only player in Las Vegas Aces history to record 218 assists, which is a franchise record for assists.

Gray is averaging over 6.5 assists a game, and this prop has hit 60 percent of the time in the last ten games. The Aces core, led by Head Coach Becky Hammon, includes A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. Although Las Vegas doesn't nearly have as much depth has other teams, Gray earned the nickname, Whether it's back door cuts, or beyond the perimeter, it's undeniable Chelsea Gray has tremendous IQ and vision on the court.

Aces matchup vs. Sparks

Number 12 hit over 6.5 assists in two of the three matchups against the Sparks. In three total games, the guard is averaging 6.6 assists, and hit the over in two of the last four games. Furthermore, Gray dished out over 6.5 assists in seven of eleven games in July.

Although Chelsea Gray is shooting lights out from the three this season (44 percent), she's known for her driving capability to the basket. With Ogwumike and Stevens possibly clogging the paint, it's very possible Gray continues to feed the hot hand. It's important to note, A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young all had points in double figures last game against the Sparks. I expect Chelsea Gray to stay hot, coming off a historical night.

WNBA Betting: LA Sparks vs. LV Aces Odds

^{Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook}

Los Angeles Sparks +16.5 (-110)

The Los Angeles Sparks are coming off a three-game win streak and are arguably playing their best basketball this season. Thus, they find themselves in the playoff hunt, and five of their twelve wins have come since July 25th. Riddled, by injuries, the Sparks have been able to find somewhat of a groove. Throughout the last ten games, Los Angeles is 5-5, and have covered the spread in seven straight games. In those matchups, the Sparks covered against Atlanta, Indiana, and Washington. In addition, the Sparks, led by Head Coach Curt Miller, covered the +8.5 and +9 point spread against the New York Liberty.

In the last three games, Los Angeles is averaging 88 points a game. Although they are only favored to win by nine percent (ESPN), the purple and gold are 14-14-2 against the spread overall, whereas they are 5-8-1 against the spread, on the road this season. Over the three-game stretch, LA is shooting an improbable 40.9 percent from the three-point. Even though the Sparks are without Clouden and Brown,

All-Star forward Nneka Ogwumike has been extremely consistent this season. Furthermore, guard Jordin Canada is playing the best basketball of her career, in which Layshia Clarendon and Karlie Samuelson have stepped up. Fellow UConn Husky, Azura Stevens has found her stride this season with the Sparks and compiled two double-doubles in the month of July. Stevens is coming off an 8 rebound 15-point game against Atlanta.

Season Matchup's: Sparks vs. Aces

Today is the final and fourth matchup between the Sparks and the Aces. Although the Aces lead 3-0, the Sparks covered the +15.5 spread on May 25th. In their last meeting, Vegas dominated the spread by 19 points. More than a month ago, Aces star, A'ja Wilson outscored the entire team in the first quarter and finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Meanwhile, Sparks star Jordin Canada was held to three points, on 1-6 shooting. It's important to note, LA was without Clarendon this matchup, and was held to 19 percent three-point shooting as a team.

Why the Sparks can cover

Overall, the Aces been one of the most dominant teams this season and are chasing history. With a nine percent chance to win, I don't expect the Sparks to pull out the upset, especially since Vegas is undefeated at home. Conversely, LA has held opponents to 79 points in the last three games, and rank first in opponent three-point percentage (31.8).

Even though Millers squad is facing the top offense in the league, I expect them to play tough defense, considering they are still in playoff contention. Las Vegas further plays a smaller lineup, with three guards, which has been challenging for several teams. There is currently a 14.7-point discrepancy between these two squads, and even with injuries, they've covered in seven of the last ten games. Additionally, the Sparks are coming off seven days of rest, and the Aces two.

Prediction

Connecticut is undefeated against the Indiana Fever in two games this season. The Sun covered the spread three out of their last ten games, and covered the -7.5 spread on May 19th against Indiana. Over the last ten games, Connecticut is averaging 84 points a game, and only allow 79 opponent points. In their win against Minnesota, forward Alyssa Thomas recorded her fifth triple-double, and ninth of her career. Thomas made history this week, along with Diana Taurasi. Thomas is the first professional women's basketball player to have 21 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists. The duo of DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas is arguably one of the best in the WNBA. Connecticut ranks second in defensive efficiency (97.3), and Indiana ranks last (105.9).

Fever guard, Victoria Vivians is available to play limited minutes tonight (Underdog WNBA). Averaging 5.9 points this season, Vivians has made headlines of late, scoring 11, 16, and 17 points in three straight games. Indiana typically plays small, with four guards, and Aliyah Boston at center. Connecticut is an exceptional defensive team, and Indiana will need all the offense they can get. The Fever stand at 7-19, and the Connecticut Sun at 19-7. When it comes to betting on this WNBA game, it's important to pay attention to team injuries.

Why the Suns will cover the spread

The Sun, led by Stephanie White, rank third in point differential (+5.3), and the Fever have a differential of -4.8. The difference between these two teams is record, and net rating. Connecticut's net rating is 6.1 (3rd), while Indiana's is -5.5 (9th). With NaLyssa Smith listed as out, and Vivans listed as questionable, the offense will false on Erica Wheeler and Aliyah Boston.

The Sun are hot, winning three straight games in July, and four out of their last five. They are first in the league in opponent three-point percentage (31.1), while Indiana is last (36.9 percent). Indiana covered the +12 spread last game, however, both matchups were in May, and the Fever had Smith. Indiana hasn't covered in three straight games, including the Mercury, and Storm, who are sub .500. Connecticut is 14-11-0 against the spread, this season. If you're looking to do some betting on the WNBA, I'm going with Connecticut -7.5 tonight.

Prediction

If you're betting on the WNBA tonight, the Chicago Sky had one matchup against the Dallas Wings this season. On May 28th, the Sky defeated the Wings 94-88, in which the over hit, at 182 points. Chicago is coming off a 104-85 win against Phoenix and hit the over three out of the last four games. Dallas, fresh off a win over Seattle 76-85, and hit the over five of their last ten games.

Over the last ten games, Chicago is averaging 82 points, and Dallas, 88. In their first and only matchup, Natasha Howard, Satou Sabally, Arike Ogunbowale, and Crystal Dangerfield all had points in double figures. Dangerfield, listed as day-to-day, averages 7.8 points a game. For Chicago, Marina Mabrey led the way with 23 points, and Kahleah Copper, Courtney Williams, and Alanna Smith had points in double digits.

Dallas ranks third in pace (98.40), in which the Sky rank 10th (95.47). Over the last ten, the Sky averaged 167 total points, and the Wings, 168 total points per game. If you're betting on the WNBA, I am going with the over for this game.

New York Liberty

Han Xu, Center: OUT

Prediction

The Minnesota Lynx have found a way to win, without their star player, Napheesa Collier. Minnesota covered in the spread in four straight games, against Connecticut, twice, New York, and Washington. Out of those four games, the Lynx covered +11.5-, +12.5-, and +13.5-point spreads, against two very good teams, the Sun and Liberty. Forward Napheesa Collier and Dorka Juhasz are questionable for tonight's game. Over the last ten games, Minnesota is averaging 83 points a game, led by Juhasz, Kayla McBride, Jessica Shepard, and Diamond Miller. The Lynx had two upsets on the road, against New York and Connecticut.

New York is an elite team at 20-6. They've struggled with large leads and lost three straight games against the spread. The Liberty, led by Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones, covered in just two of their last ten games. New York will be on the road and will face a Lynx team who is 15-11-1 against the spread this season. If Collier is available to play, along with Juhasz, I love this pick. If you are betting on the WNBA, New York can't be trusted with the spread right now.

— Bally Sports (@BallySports) August 1, 2023

The Dallas Wings have the fourth best overall record in the WNBA and had a five-game win streak in the month of July. Dallas is averaging over 90 points the last ten games, and rank third in points per game and offensive rating. The Wings are first in the league in rebounds per game (39.9), and the Seattle Storm allow a league high 36.2 rebounds per game.

The series matchup between the Dallas Wings and the Seattle storm is split, 1-1. The Storm covered both games, including a +4.5-, and +8.5-point spread. In Seattle's win against Dallas, on June 17th, Storm guard Jewell Loyd had 39 points, which is second most in the history of the franchise.

The Dallas Wings, one of the hottest teams in July, recently got Teaira McCowan back from Euro ball. McCowan was not present for the first two games, and is averaging 12.9 points and 9.3 rebounds in 15 games. The Wings Center averages 1.2 blocks and is shooting 57 percent from the field this year.

Dallas is 3-2 in their last five, and 7-3 in their last ten games. This squad, led by Head Coach Latricia Tramell, has impressive wins this month over New York, and Las Vegas. Their largest marginal win came over the Washington Mystics, 90-62. The Seattle Storm went on a ten-game skid, however recently won two games in a row.

Dallas Wings Money Line (-300)

Seattle is playing well, recently taking a game against the Liberty, and kept up with Dallas the first two games. The Wings will have the addition of McCowan, which gives them more defense, and size. Seattle is only averaging 76 points compared to the Wings 90 the past ten games. Dallas was the second-best team in July and has the third best offense in the league.

These two teams haven't matched up since June 17th, and Dallas is top five in defensive rating. They play big, will be a force in the paint, and mostly likely will make Seattle work for points. Being one of the best teams in the paint, Dallas will have a starting lineup of McCowan, Satou Sabally, and Natasha Howard, who are all six foot two and up. With the way the Dallas Wings have played as of recent, I expect them to take this game outright, over the Seattle Storm.

Arike Ogunbowale O 20.5 PTS (-113)

Rike doin’ her lil dancey dance #VoltUp pic.twitter.com/sN9Ay7jnlX
— Dallas Wings (@DallasWings) July 30, 2023

Dallas Wings Guard, Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 21.6 points in 25 games this season. Ogunbowale hit over 20.5 points in three straight games in July, and in five total games. Arike put up 41 points against the Seattle Storm on June 17th, and 26 points in their first matchup, on May 26th.

In her fifth season with Dallas, the guard is averaging a career-high in minutes (37.3), and field goal attempts. Arike is playing high volume minutes, including 40 against the Aces, on Sunday, and averages 18.3 field goal attempts per game.

The Seattle Storm rank 9th in defensive efficiency and allow opponents to score 84.7 points per game. The Storm rank last in opponent field goal percentage (45.8). Noell Quinns squad ranks 11th in opponent points in the paint (38.8).

Since the All-Star break, Ogunbowale hit this prop three times, against both Connecticut and New York.

Natasha Howard O 7.5 REB (-130)

FLSH@nhoward1033 | #VoltUp pic.twitter.com/rB1CRWhRB0
— Dallas Wings (@DallasWings) July 30, 2023

Natasha Howard, Dallas Wings forward, is averaging 8.3 rebounds in 25 games this season. Standing at six foot two, the forward hit over 7.5 rebounds in two straight games, and seven games in July. Even with the addition of McCowan, Howard has been a defensive force in the paint for the Dallas Wings.

In two games against Seattle this year, Howard grabbed 10 and 9 boards. In July Howard notably had 14 rebounds against Minnesota, 11 and 13 against Las Vegas. Dallas is the best rebounding team in the league at 39.9 per game and allow the least per game (32). The Seattle Storm rank 7th in rebounding (33.9) and allow a league high 36.2 boards per game.

Minnesota had the upset over Connecticut, 87-83

The Minnesota Lynx (13-13, 7-5 Away) will play their second straight game versus the Connecticut Sun (18-7, 8-4) on the road. In their Sunday matchup, Minnesota defeated Connecticut, 87-83, in which the Lynx covered the spread, and the over hit. The Sun were held to 17.6 percent three-point shooting, and 38.9 percent from the field. DeWanna Boner, a season 34 percent three-point shooter, struggled from downtown (2-8). Connecticut, a season 35.6 percent three-point team, has to shoot the ball more efficient in tonight's matchup. Sun forward, Alyssa Thomas had a triple double, 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists. Connecticut will need some help from starter Tiffany Hayes.

As for the Lynx, Minnesota shot 57 percent from the field, in which McBride led the way with 19 points (7-10). With Napheesa out of the lineup due to injury, rookie Dorka Juhasz stepped up, with 11 points, and 6 rebounds. Juhasz was a force on the defensive end, adding a key block and steal. Guard Lindsay Allen scored 16 points and had 2 crucial steals in 32 minutes played.

Connecticut vs. Minnesota over/under trends

Connecticut is 14-12-0 (Over/Under), and Minnesota 15-10. The Lynx hit the over in four straight games, and in seven out of their last ten. The Sun hit the over in two straight games, and six out of their last ten games. The over/under is 2-1 between these two teams. In the last matchup, the over hit at 170, and that includes Connecticut shooting poorly. In the first matchup, Connecticut defeated Minnesota, 89-64 in which the over hit, at 173.

Cheryl Reeves squad is playing very well as of late, with two crucial wins over the Connecticut Sun and the New York Liberty. Both the overs hit against those two teams. If you're looking to do some betting on the WNBA, the Connecticut Sun will look for revenge over last game. Give me the over for this game.

New York Liberty 1st Half Spread -5.5 (-102)

The New York Liberty (19-6, 9-2 away) will take on the Los Angeles Sparks (9-16, 7-7 Home) for their second straight time on the road. In Sunday's matchup, the Liberty defeated the Sparks, 87-79, in which they led 51-35 at the half (-16 point differential). New York played stellar in the first quarter, and limited Los Angeles to 11 first quarter points.

In the last five games, New York had a 57- 42 (15 point differential) lead against Atlanta at the half. Though New York had a comeback win against Seattle, the Liberty commanded a 68-46 lead against the Indiana Fever at the half.

At the half. pic.twitter.com/nplloYGLMG
— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) July 30, 2023

Why the Liberty will cover the first half spread.

I am reluctant to pick New York for the full spread, due to the fact the Liberty covered the spread only twice in the last ten games. The Sparks gained steam and cut the deficit to seven points last game. Overall, the Sparks rank 11th in points per game (78.5), and rebounds per game (31.6). Marine Johannes found her stride, hitting 5-7 three-pointers, and Jonquel Jones had another double-double (13 points, 13 rebounds). Breanna Stewart led the way with 25 points and 3 blocks, and Ionescu with 14 points, 1 steal, block, and 6 rebounds.

The Liberty are playing their second straight game against the sparks and coming off minimal rest. These two teams are far apart numbers and talent wise. Give me Liberty to cover -5.5 at the half.

Jonquel Jones O 9.5 Rebounds (-113)

3⃣5⃣ with another double-double pic.twitter.com/EAzIILjEhK
— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) July 31, 2023

Why Jonquel Jones will hit over 9.5 rebounds tonight.

If you're betting on the WNBA, Jonquel Jones over rebounds has been my favorite play for the past couple of weeks. Jones, 29, is coming off a double-double (13 points and rebounds) and has double-digit rebounds in six straight games. The Liberty forward had four straight double-doubles in the month of July, and hit over 9.5 rebounds in six straight games, and 7/11 games in July.

The Los Angeles Sparks have All-Star Nneka Ogwumike, who averages 9.1 rebounds this season. In her last matchup against New York, Ogwumike was held to 5 rebounds. As a team, New York outrebounded Los Angeles, 26-17, and the Sparks rank 11th in rebounds per game (31.6).

If you're betting on the WNBA, I like Jonquel Jones over 9.5 rebounds. The line has been consistently over 7.5, however, she has hit this prop several games in a row. The Sparks allow opponents to grab 35.8 boards a game, which is 9th in the WNBA.

Aliyah Boston O 7.5 Rebounds (+100)

Why Aliyah Boston will hit over 7.5 rebounds tonight.

Fever Rookie Aliyah Boston is a candidate for the WNBA rookie of the year. If you're betting on the WNBA, Boston is averaging 7.8 rebounds a game. The Indiana Fever (6-19, 1-8 Home) will matchup against the Phoenix Mercury (6-18, 1-12 Away) at home tonight. The Mercury will be without their all-start Brittney Briner, as she stepped away to take care of her mental health. Griner, 32 averaged 6.7 rebounds a game, and had 6 rebounds against Indiana.

The Mercury are 2-0 against the Indiana Fever this season. Boston had 7 and 9 rebounds in the first two matchups. With or without Griner, Phoenix ranks last in the WNBA in rebounds per game (30.7), and the Indiana Fever average 34.5 boards per game (6th). Indiana is second in the league in opponent rebounds per game (32.5.).

If you're betting on the WNBA, the odds are not in favor for Aliyah Boston to snag over 7.5 rebounds (+100). With Griner out, and Boston's stats against the Mercury, I like the over here.

2023 WNBA Championship Betting Odds

The WNBA All-Star break has come and gone, as we enter the second half of the WNBA Season. The 2022 reigning champs, the Las Vegas Aces, are currently the favorites to with the 2023 WNBA Title at -310. The New York Liberty have the next best odds at +270, and interestingly enough, the Connecticut Sun, tied for the second-best record, have +3000 odds to win it all. In this article, I will break down the top four teams, and a few dark horse organizations that could win the championship. If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

The second half of the 2023 WNBA is in full swing, and the Defending Champions are favored to win it all again this year, amongst WNBA bettors. Las Vegas stands at 23-2, and WNBA fans are eager to see them continuously make WNBA history. From July 9 to July 22nd, Las Vegas tied for history, and hit five consecutive games with a 15-point differential. During that span, there was a 102 total point differential in five games, which averages out to 20.4 The last team to re-peat as Champions were the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001/2002, and the Aces are chasing the Phoenix Mercury for the best record in WNBA History. The Phoenix Mercury currently holds the league record at 29-5, which was back in 2014.

23-2

Protected The House #ALLINLV pic.twitter.com/UobogEwAti
— Las Vegas Aces (@LVAces) July 31, 2023

Why the Aces can win it all.

In basketball, net rating often means a combination of offensive, and defensive ratings. In another words, it's the offensive minus the defensive rating. The Las Vegas Aces have a net rating of 19, which is first in the league, with the Liberty trailing in second (6.3). This statistic should show WNBA bettors why the Aces are not only the best team record wise; however, they are the best team on both sides of the court. This large margin is absolutely frightening and gives a good picture how efficient this team is.

The Aces had four All-Stars represent at this year's game, including A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, and Kelsey Plum. The Aces veteran star, Candice Parker is indefinitely out with a foot injury, which leaves Vegas with a thin bench. With Head Coach, Becky Hammon, the Aces have been an unstoppable force. Besides Alysha Clark, the Aces will be tested with their lack of depth in the playoffs. If you are betting on the WNBA, the Aces have a high chance of repeating as champions.

New York Liberty (+270)

The New York Liberty got off to the best start in franchise history at 17-5 and have a "super team," comprised of Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and Breanna Stewart. New York is one of the top rebounding teams, comprised of elite shooters. Their offensive rating of 107.8 ranks second in the league, and 37.2 percent of New York's points are three-pointers. Guard, Sabrina Ionescu ranks first in the league in three-pointers made (3.5), and third in three-point percentage (44). The Liberty set an WNBA record 44 points in the first quarter, against the Indiana Fever, and Breanna Stewart continues to make history. WNBA bettors have the Liberty at +270 odds to win the WNBA Championship.

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) July 31, 2023

Why the Liberty can win it all.

Through 25 games, Stewart, 28, is the second player in Liberty Franchise, to score 10 + 25-point games in a season. Stewart is an MVP candidate, and is the second player in WNBA History to reach 500 points, 200 rebounds, and 50 3-pointers made through 25 games. If you're betting on the WNBA, you cannot count out stewie and the Liberty odds.

The New York Liberty has the most appearances in the WNBA finals (four), without actually winning a title. The Liberty finished under .500 the past two seasons, in which New York lost in the first round of the playoffs. In their last win against the Sparks, 87-79, the Liberty became the third team in the WNBA to have three games with at least 15 three-pointers.

The signing of former MVP, Jonquel Jones, along with Courtney Vandersloot has been key for the Liberty. Vandersloot, 34, is tied for first in assists with Connecticut's Alyssa Thomas. Jones, in a rhythm with her new team, is coming off six straight games with rebounds in double-figures. In the month of July, the Liberty Forward had a double-double in four straight games and has points in double figures in all July games but three. New York has key players in Betnijah Laney, Marine Johannes, and Kayla Thorton. New York has been inconsistent at times, and known to blow some larger leads. Though New York doesn't have the best defense, they play high tempo basketball, and are a force on the offensive end. If you're betting on the WNBA, New York has a high chance to win it all, considering the odds.

Dallas Wings (+3000)

Why the Wings can win it all.

This is where things get interesting if you plan on betting on the WNBA. After the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty, the odds change dramatically at +3000 odds for Dallas. First the Detroit Shock and Tulsa Shock, now the Dallas Wings, the franchise seek their first championship since 2008 (Detroit Shock). Dallas stands at 14-11, after two first round playoff exits in two consecutive seasons. The Wings won five consecutive games in July, including impressive wins against New York, and Las Vegas. Dallas beat the Washington Mystics by 28 points, the largest margin out of any game this season. Dallas ranks first in rebounds, and third in total offense. On the contrary, the Wings rank last in three-point percentage (22.9).

— espnW (@espnW) July 27, 2023

When it comes to betting, specifically WNBA betting, it's about who's hot at the right time. The Dallas Wings are the fourth best team, and have a net rating of 4.4, which is directly below the Connecticut Sun. Besides the Las Vegas Aces, the Liberty, Sun, the Wings hover similarly in net rating, where it drops off with the Washington Mystics. This Dallas offensive has four heavy hitters, in Arike Ogunbowale, Satou Sabally, Natasha Howard, and Teaira McCowan. It's no secret that Dallas has incredible size and could be a problem for teams that play small. Though the WNBA betting odds are higher for Dallas, Latricia Trammel has a rotation that runs deep, and Satou Sabally had her first career triple double for Dallas. The Wings will need to step up their perimeter shooting, along with free-throw percentage.

If you are betting on the WNBA, the odds for the Connecticut Sun to win it all maybe be perplexing. The Sun are 18-7, and rank third in the league. Connecticut has a +5.1-point differential (3rd) and ranks first in opponent points per game (78.9). The Sun, led by Head Coach Stephanie White, hold opponents to 31.1 three-point percentage, and rank fifth in three-point percentage (35.6). Connecticut's net ranking hangs below New York at 5.9 and is one year removed from the WNBA Finals. For a team that ranks third in the WNBA, and has five consecutive playoff appearances, +3000 odds seem like a steal if you plan to bet on the WNBA. The Sun rank second in defensive rating at 97.8.

If you're plan to bet on the Connecticut Sun winning the Championship, +3000 odds seem like a great value. Losing Foward Brionna Jones with a ruptured Achilles was a huge loss, however, DeWanna Bonner, Alyssa Thomas, and Tiffany Hayes have stepped up in a big way. Alyssa Thomas recently recorded her sixth career triple-double, and Bonner has back-to-back 30-point games (most in Connecticut Sun franchise history). Since Jones injury on June 20th, the Sun have gone 12-5. Connecticut has notable wins over Dallas, Las Vegas, and Atlanta. Over the last four games, the Sun defeated the Dream twice, and Dallas on the road. Out of the next fifteen games, Stephanie White's team only faces five teams who have a record of .500 and up. Connecticut has depth and has a serious chance of retaining their spot in the East.

In my last article, I discussed the WNBA straight bet odds, stats, and predictions for Sunday, July 30th. There are six WNBA games on the slate today, and this article will cover player prop odds, stats, predictions, and analysis. All games will air on either ESPN, ESPN3, or CBSNN. If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

^{Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.}

Jonquel Jones OVER 7.5 REB (-120)

PPG: 11.8 | FG: 55.6 % | 3 PT: 41.4 % | FT: 86.4 % |REB: 7.6 |AST: 1.5 |STL: 0.5 |BLK: 1.3

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) July 27, 2023

Liberty Foward, Jonquel Jones, is coming off her fifth straight game with rebounds in double figures. Prior to the previous matchup against Minnesota, Jones had four straight double-doubles, in points and rebounds. In the last five games, Jonquel has 11 rebounds against Minnesota, 13 versus Atlanta, 17 against Seattle, 11 versus Indiana, and 11 rebounds on the road against Washington.

At 6 foot 6, the Liberty rank second in the league in rebounds (37.7) and face a Los Angeles Sparks team that is near last in rebounds. (31.9). The Sparks allow opponents to grab 35.5 boards per game (9th), and the Liberty allow opponents to rebound 34.2 times per game (4th). Jonquel Jones hit this prop in six straight games, and I expect her to do it tonight. The biggest threat to Jones will be Sparks forward, Nneka Ogwumike, who is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game. I want to say Nneka Ogwumike over points as well.

Jewell Loyd OVER 22.5 Points (-125)

PPG: 24.2 | FG: 38.2 % | 3 PT: 39.1 % | FT: 87 % |REB: 4.6 | AST: 3.5 |STL: 1.1 |BLK: 0.5

— Seattle Storm (@seattlestorm) July 29, 2023

Seattle Storm Guard, Jewell Loyd is an MVP Candidate this season. The Storm will face off against the Indiana Fever, who rank last in points allowed (85.7). The Fever allow opponents to shoot 36.3 from the three-point, and permit teams to make 8.2 three-pointers a game. On average, opponents attempt 22.6 three-pointers against the Fever.

Jewell Loyd is coming off a 15-point performance against the Chicago Sky. In her only matchup against Indiana, the Seattle Guard scored 19 points on (5-21) and played 27 minutes. Loyd was 2-7 from the three-point and made all seven of her free-throws.

Seattle is coming off an 83-74 win against Chicago, following a ten-game skid. Loyd hit over 22.5 points in four games in July, and six times in June. Loyd is averaging 15.4 field goal attempts, 30.1 minutes, and 9.3 three-point shot attempts in the last ten games. She had a high volume of shots against Indiana last matchup (5-21), in which Loyd was held to 24 percent field goal percentage. With Loyd shooting nearly 40 percent from downtown, I expect her to show out tonight versus an Indiana team who doesn't defend the perimeter well.

Chelsea Gray OVER 13.5 Points (-125)

PPG: 14.6 | FG: 49.8 % | 3 PT: 43.5 % | FT: 91.4 % |REB: 3.6 |AST: 6.9 |STL: 1.5 |BLK: 0.6

— Las Vegas Aces (@LVAces) July 26, 2023

The Las Vegas Aces are chasing WNBA history, and face a Dallas Wings team, who are a solid defensive team. Dallas holds opponents to 32.7 three-point percentage. Aces Guard, Chelea Gray scored over 13.5 points in both matchups against Dallas, which includes a 14 and 20-point performance. The Aces rank 1st in net rating and offense and are often hard to guard on the weak and strong side of the ball. In two games against the Wings, Gray averaged 16 points, 36 minutes, 14.5 field goal attempts, and 5 three-point attempts. Gray is an elite guard, shooting over 43 percent from downtown. With the high-volume shots and minutes, I like Gray over 13.5 points.

Daily WNBA Odds

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.

The New York Liberty carry a streak of 15 straight games with 80 points or more into their matchup with the L.A. Sparks today (4 ET, ESPN).

— Los Angeles Sparks (@LASparks) July 30, 2023

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.

— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) July 30, 2023

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. Minnesota hit the over in three straight games, while Connecticut hit the over versus Minnesota. In the two matchups this season, Connecticut won both, in which the over hit once.

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.

— Underdog WNBA (@Underdog__WNBA) July 25, 2023

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.

Dallas Wings +10.5 (-105

The Dallas Wings (14-10, 5-7 Away) are coming off a 90-62 win against the Washington Mystics. Dallas plays the Las Vegas Aces (22-2, 11-0 Home), who are undefeated at home. The Aces are coming off a 107-95 win, against the Chicago Sky. The Season series is split 1-1, in which Dallas covered both a +9.5 and +12 spread against the Aces.

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.

Jonquel Jones OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-140)

New York Liberty Forward, Jonquel Jones is playing basketball on another level. Jones, 29, has four straight double doubles, against Atlanta, Seattle, Indiana, and Washington. Her stat line against the Dream last night, 24 minutes, 19 points, and 13 rebounds. In the last four games, Jones is averaging 13 rebounds a game, and had a season high (17), against Seattle, on Tuesday.

The former MVP is averaging 7.4 rebounds in 23 games played this season. Jones hit over 7.5 rebounds in 5 total games in July, and 6 in June. In the last ten games, Jones is averaging 8.4 rebounds a game, and 22.7 Points + Rebounds. Minnesota Lynx Star, Napheesa Collier is out for tonight's game against New York, and averages 7.9 rebounds a game. Behind Collier, Minnesota has a front court of Dorka Juhasz, Diamond Miller, and Jessica Shepard, who is back from illness. New York is second in rebounds (37.7), and Minnesota ranks 6th (34.4). I expect Jones, along with Breanna Stewart, to be a force down low, with Collier out.

The New York Liberty are playing excellent team basketball, and play at a high tempo. New York had 23 assists last game, in which nine of them were from Ionescu. The Liberty had four players with points in double figures last night, which has been the trend over their four-game win streak. Liberty guard, Courtney Vandersloot, is out for tonight's game, and leads the WNBA in assists per game (8). Sabrina Ionescu currently ranks 7th in the league in assists per game (5.9), and the Liberty rank first in assists (24.4).

New York is playing a Minnesota Lynx team, who rank 11th in 21 opponent assists per game. Minnesota allows opposing teams to shoot 36.3 percent beyond the arc, and 45.4 percent from the field.

Sabrina Ionescu hit over 6.5 assists in two straight games, and 5 games in July. The Liberty guard had 9 assist last night against Atlanta, and 12 against Seattle. With Vandersloot out, I expect Ionescu to create plays for her teammates, and continue that high tempo play. Both Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Betnijah Laney are all playing at a high level, and will utilize screens with Ionescu.

Satou Sabally OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-118)

SAAATOU SAAAABALLY @satou_sabally | #VoltUp pic.twitter.com/WKFlP2nq71
— Dallas Wings (@DallasWings) July 26, 2023

Satou Sabally, of the Dallas Wings is averaging 9.3 rebounds in 23 games this season. Sabally, 25, is coming off back-to-back double doubles, against Connecticut and Los Angeles. The Washington Mystics will still be without Foward, Elena Delle Donne, and rank 10th in rebounding per game (33). Dallas is the leading team in rebounding this season (39.5) and allow the fewest rebounds per opponent (32.5).

The Dallas forward hit over 9.5 rebounds eight total times in June, and three times in July. In the prior matchup against Washington, Sabally scored 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. In what as a low scoring affair (75-74), Howard and Sabally outrebounded Delle-Donne and Austin, 27-21. Sabally didn't stop in her second game against the Mystics. She grabbed 15 rebounds, including 11 defensive boards. With Elena Delle Donne out with an injury, Washington does not have a ton of depth behind center, Shakira Austin.

Kahleah Copper OVER 20.5 Points (-113).

SHE JUST DIFFERENT.

Congrats on a new career high in points, @kahleahcopper pic.twitter.com/6EcfsfTrdB
— Chicago Sky (@chicagosky) July 26, 2023

It's safe to say Kahleah Copper is one of the best players in the WNBA right now. In 22 games, the Copper, 28, is averaging 18.7 points, 7-15 field goal attempts, and is shooting 41.3 percent from the three-point. She is coming off career-highs in points, 29 against Seattle Saturday, and 37 against the Aces, Tuesday. In the last five games, the Sky guard is averaging 16.8 field goal attempts, and 29.3 minutes per game. The guard ranks 10th in the league in scoring (18.7), and 5th in field goal attempts per game (15.5). Kahleah plays around 31 minutes a game, which is a Chicago team high.

The Chicago Sky are matched up tonight against a Seattle Storm team who allow opponents to shoot a league high 37.5 percent from downtown, and 46.4 percent from the field. Seattle is in the midst of a miserable ten gaming losing streak, and Copper is coming off two career games. The Sky star had 37 points, against Las Vegas, who is the top ranked team in the league. Copper is shooting 49 percent from the field, and 35 percent from the three the last two games. Even more impressive, Kahlea Copper is 20-22 from the three-throw line in her last two games.

New York Liberty -14.5 (-110)

The New York Liberty are off to their best start in franchise history, at 18-5. The core trio of Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones makes New York one of the most dominant teams in the league. The Liberty are coming off a four-game win streak, against Atlanta, Seattle, Indiana, and Washington. The emergence of Betnijah Laney, and high IQ from Courtney Vandersloot has been incredible, especially in the last four matchups. New York is 10-3 at home, and their Offensive Rating stands second at 108, behind the Las Vegas Aces. The Liberty are 2-1 against the spread in the last three games and will face a Lynx that will be without their star, Napheesa Collier. New York is coming off a 95-84 win against the Atlanta Dream, in which they covered the -9 spread.

Han Xu, Center (OUT): Suspended
Courtney Vandersloot (OUT)

Minnesota Lynx

Napheesa Collier, Forward (OUT)
Natalie Achonwa, Forward (OUT)
Rachel Banham, Guard (OUT): Right thumb fracture

Prediction

This matchup is the first of the season, and a previous postponed game, due to the air quality in Brooklyn. The Minnesota Lynx will be without their star, Napheesa Collier, who left Wednesday's game against Washington with an ankle injury. Guard Rachel Banham will be out for the game as well, with a fractured thumb. New York has won four straight games, however, only covered the spread in Indiana (-13), and Atlanta (-9). In their last 10, the Liberty is averaging 90 points a game, and is playing exceptional team basketball. With Collier out, Minnesota loses a player who makes up 27 percent of the Lynx total offense. Minnesota will have to rely on rookie Dorka Juhasz to handle Jonquel Jones in the paint. Forward, Jessica Shepard is back from illness, however, she only played 8 minutes last game against Connecticut.

Breanna Stewart is coming off another double double, 33 points and 12 rebounds. Jonquel Jones is playing elite basketball and has four straight double doubles. Without Collier, Minnesota will be without the bulk of their offense, and rebounding. The Liberty also have an incredibly deep bench. I just got word, New York will be without playmaker, Courtney Vandersloot. At times, New York has blown big leads, however, I like their chances to cover -14.5, with Collier out.

Washington Mystics vs. Dallas Wings OVER 165.5 Points (-114)

The Washington Mystics remain without their star player, Elena Delle Donne, along with Shakira Austin. Since losing both, Washington remains at 3-5 since June 30th. The Minnesota Lynx defeated the Mystics 97-92 on Wednesday, in which the over hit (189). Mystics players Brittney Sykes, Myisha Hines-Allen, and Natasha Cloud had points in double figures, and the Mystics bench added 26 points.

The Dallas Wings rank first in the league in fast break and second chance points. Dallas stands at 13-10, behind Las Vegas in the Western Conference, and ranks third in points per game (85.8). Since July 7, the Wings won five straight games, and are 5-1 in their last six. Dallas lost their last game against the Connecticut Sun, 88-83, in which the over hit (171). Satou Sabally had her second straight double double, along with Teaira McCowan, with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Arike Ogunbowale led the team with 40 minutes and 25 points.

Dallas Wings

Lou Lopez Senechal, Guard (OUT): Knee
Diamond DeShields, Guard (OUT): Knee

Prediction

I promise, there is a method to my madness here. The Series between Dallas and Washington is split 1-1, in which the under hit both games (161,149). However, we cannot ignore the fact Dallas has hit four straight overs. In the last ten games, both teams are averaging nearly 90 points a game, and Washington hit the over two out of their last three games. The Wings play at a high tempo and dropped 107 points against Minnesota on July 12th. In the last three games, the Wings scored 98 points twice, and Washington 92 and 87 in the last four games.

In the last five games, the Mystics hit over 165.5 points three times, against the Lynx, Liberty, and Storm. Dallas hit over 165.5 points in four straight games and are 5-5 in their last ten games. With both team's recent trend of high offensive scoring, I like the over here. The Wings rank first in rebounding, which allows them to score a high number of second chance points. The Mystics shot 38 percent from the three last game. Even with injuries, there are heavy hitters on both sides.

Chicago Sky -4.5 (-120)

The Seattle Storm have lost 10 straight games and haven't won a single matchup in a month. Seattle commanded a 15-point lead against New York; however, the Liberty were able to escape with a win. MVP candidate, Jewell Loyd continued her dominance last game, scoring 32 points, on (9-23 shooting). Center, Ezi Magbegor had a double double against the Liberty, and three straight games with points in double figures. Over their ten-game skid, Seattle covered the spread four times, and the over hit five times. Seattle ranks last in field goal percentage (40) and near last in points per game.

The Chicago Sky are fifth in the Eastern Conference, at 9-14, and lost their matchup 107-95, against the Las Vegas Aces. In their last ten, Chicago is 4-6, and had an easy win over Seattle, 90-75, on July 22nd. In their last matchup, both Kahleah Copper Marina Mabrey had points in double figures. Jewell Loyd was held to 2-11 shooting, and 12 points last game against Chicago.

Prediction

Seattle is the middle of a dreadful ten game losing streak, and I want to say this is the game it will stop. However, I am full fading Seattle, in which they've lost all ten games by an average of eleven points. Last matchup, Seattle couldn't cover the -2 spread against Chicago, and lost by 15 points. The Storm are the worst team in the league, and both teams rank near last in offensive and defensive rating. Chicago has been streaky all season, losing four in a row before their last win against Seattle. The Storm did cover the spread against the Liberty; however, I'm taking Chicago -4.5 here at home. The Sky are 12-9-2 against the spread this season and covered in two straight games.
