Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Wings at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Wings (9-29) and Chicago Sky (19-19) meet Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Wings vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Wings have dropped 7 in a row but managed to cover for the first time in the stretch with an 83-81 loss to the Seattle Storm Friday. G Arike Ogunbowale had an off night, going 6-for-20 for 15 points. C Teaira McCowan impressed with 23 points and 15 boards.

The accolades continue to pile up for America’s sweetheart G Caitlin Clark, who set the single-season assist record in a 78-74 loss to the Las Vegas Aces Friday. She struggled shooting the last 2 games against the tough Aces squad as she went 3-for-18 (16.7%) from downtown. She had hit 4+ 3-pointers in 5 straight before those slates.

Wings at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 99, Wings 89

Moneyline

I look for the Fever to handle their business here. They still could fall from the 7th to the 8th seed, but Dallas has nothing but pride to play for.

There’s no play on the ML here, and MGM didn’t have props available at press time.

You could head over to FanDuel Sportsbook and take CAITLIN CLARK OVER 3.5 THREES (-106). As mentioned, she hit 4+ in 5 straight games before facing Vegas, and she’ll use this as a get-right game before the playoffs.

Against the spread

I’m picking Indiana to win by 10 because Dallas has nothing to play for, but I really don’t feel the need to risk it on a late-season, 8.5-point spread.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both matchups with these teams were crazy ones with nearly 200 points and each prevailing team hitting the century mark. The last 4 meetings have gone Over, and while I think there may be a slight sweat, I will take the OVER 184.5 (-110).

Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (23-13) and Indiana Fever (19-18) meet Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 3-0

The Aces are piecing things together just in time for what it hopes is another championship run. Vegas has won 5 of the past 6 games straight up (SU), while covering in 6 in a row. The Under has cashed in 4 consecutive outings, while going 9 of the past 12 contests.

One of those victories and covers was in the front end of this back-to-back in Indy. Vegas won 86-75, beating the Fever for the 14th straight time, as A’ja Wilson scored 27 points with 12 rebounds. She became the WNBA’s single-season scoring leader in 35 games with 956 points, passing Seattle’s Jewell Loyd, who had 939 points in 38 games last season.

Indiana’s Caitlin Clark had a brutal night from behind the arc, going just 1-of-10 against Vegas, while finishing with 16 points on 6-of-22 shooting. Luckily, Kelsey Mitchell had 24 points to pace the Fever and keep them in it.

Moneyline (ML): Aces -225 (bet $225 to win $100) | Fever +180 (bet $100 to win $180)
Against the spread: Aces -5.5 (-105) | Fever +5.5 (-115)
Over/Under (O/U): 177.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Fever 76

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-225) would set you back more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. While it seems like a slam-dunk play, as the Aces have vanquished Indiana (+180) in 14 straight meetings, it’s too expensive.

PASS.

Against the spread

It’s difficult to win and cover in a back-to-back set, especially on the road. However, LAS VEGAS -5.5 (-105) has managed 6 consecutive covers, and it has covered all 3 meetings with Clark and Indiana +5.5 (-115) this season. There is very little evidence that the Fever will suddenly catch fire and turn things around in this series.

Over/Under

UNDER 177.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this 2nd installment in the past 3 days.

The Under has cashed in each of the previous 2 meetings, including Wednesday’s game with a combined 161 points on a total of 180. The Under is 8-2 in the past 10 in the series since Aug. 28, 2021, too.

For Vegas, the total has gone low in 4 straight, and 12 of the past 16 outings since July 10 prior to the All-Star and Olympic break.

As far as Indiana is concerned, the Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games, but the Under has a slight 2-1 edge in the past 3 against winning teams, while going 7-2 in the previous 9 against teams above .500.

Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (22-13) and Indiana Fever (19-17) meet Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the front end of a back-to-back set. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBATV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 2-0

The Aces have not only won both meetings this season, but Las Vegas has won 13 consecutive games in this series since Indiana won 86-71 at home on Aug. 27, 2019. Indiana is a respectable 3-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 in the series, although the Aces have covered both games against Caitlin Clark and the Fever this season.

For Vegas, superstar A’ja Wilson is averaging 28.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the 2 meetings with Indiana this season.

The Over-Under has split in the 2 battles this season, both in Las Vegas, while the total has gone low at a 7-2 clip in the previous 9 in the series.

Las Vegas is coming off a 75-71 loss against the top-seeded New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, although it covered as 9.5-point underdogs. The Aces have covered a season-high 5 in a row. In fact, that cover streak comes on the heels of an 0-9 ATS skid, and Las Vegas was a dismal 10-20 ATS prior to the impressive run.

The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Vegas, while going 11-4 in the past 15 outings. The Under has cashed on the 1st 2 games of this 4-game road trip, too.

Indiana is coming off a thrilling 104-100 overtime home victory Sunday against the Atlanta Dream, although it just missed covering as a 5-point favorite as the Over (171) comfortably cashed. Clark was sensational, going for 26 points, 12 assists and 4 3-pointers, although she did have 9 turnovers, too. But, it was Aliyah Boston who led the way with 30 points, 13 boards, 5 dimes and a blocked shot.

Over/Under (O/U): 178 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 96, Fever 90

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-154) has dominated this series over the past half-decade, winning 13 consecutive meetings since 2019, including the 2 installments this season against Clark.

However, backing the Aces on the moneyline makes little sense, unless you’re absolutely set on an Aces win, but only by a single point.

PASS, and lay the points instead.

Against the spread

Back LAS VEGAS -3 (-110), as it enters on a season-high 5-game cover streak. Between that, and the fact the Aces have won 13 straight in this series, you have to fade Indiana +3 (-110) until it proves it can get over the hump against the defending champs.

Over/Under

OVER 178 (-110) is a big number, but a strong play nonetheless.

The Over has cashed in 5 in a row for the Fever, as they’ve hit the century mark on offense in 3 of those outings. Indiana shouldn’t have nearly the same kind of offensive freedom against Las Vegas, but it still had a respectable 88 points in a loss against the No. 2 seed Minnesota Lynx in the game Friday, so it doesn’t seem to matter who is on the other side, Indiana is dictating the pace.

Atlanta Dream at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Dream (12-22) and Indiana Fever (18-17) meet Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dream vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 3-0

The Dream gave the Dallas Wings nightmares with a 107-96 win Friday night. Atlanta covered as a 2.5-point favorite as the Over 169.5 hit. F Rhyne Howard went off for 33 points, hitting 6 triples and dishing out 6 dimes. C Tina Charles dropped 20 points and secured 13 boards. It was just the Dream’s 2nd win in 7 games.

The Fever were sickened by the Minnesota Lynx 99-88 Friday night. It snapped a 5-game winning streak, but they’ve still won 7 of 9. G Caitlin Clark had 25 points, 8 boards and 8 dimes while going 5-for-10 from distance. She is 19-for-40 (47.5%) from 3-point range the last 4 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dream at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 91, Dream 88

Moneyline

Clark is on another planet right now. In fact, get someone on the horn right now casting her in a Space Jam 3 movie. She’s averaging 27 PPG, 10.5 APG, 6.5 RPG and 4.8 three-pointers per game over the last 4.

This moneyline is out of range, but CAITLIN CLARK OVER 3.5 3’S (+118) is where we’re going. She has 4+ 3-pointers in 4 straight and 5 of 6. Take that plus-money and run with it.

Against the spread

The Fever have beaten the Dream by an average of 8 points in 3 meetings this season. A 12-point W skewed that number, and I feel like Atlanta’s momentum from dropping 107 on Dallas will carry over into this one. Take the DREAM +6.5 (-110).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Fever have averaged 95.3 PPG over their last 4, but it’s the Dream that will have to epiphanize this Over into fruition. They’ve averaged 80.67 PPG in 3 meetings with Indiana this year. Give them a small uptick after dropping 104 in their last game, and that’s enough to cash an OVER 168 (-110).

LA Sparks at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s LA Sparks at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Sparks (7-25) and Indiana Fever (17-16) meet Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sparks vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Sparks limp in with 8 losses in the past 9 games, but they were able to top the league-leading New York Liberty on Aug. 28 as a 12.5-point underdog, showing that Los Angeles can be a pesky side when it wants to be.

L.A. was certainly pesky when it last traveled to Indiana, taking care of the Fever 88-82 as a 5.5-point underdog on May 28 as the Over (165.5) connected. That seems like a lifetime ago, though, and F/C Cameron Brink (ACL) was still healthy and playing.

In that Sparks victory, Fever rookie Caitlin Clark was still doing her thing. She posted 30 points with 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 blocked shots and 3 triples in the home loss. Of course, she also had 7 turnovers which did not help.

That seems like a lifetime ago, too. Clark and the Fever have been on fire since the Olympics break, and they now find themselves over .500 for the 1st time this season following Sunday’s 100-93 win over the Wings in Dallas. It was the 2nd straight time, and 1st time this season, Indiana has hit triple digits in consecutive games.

Indiana has won and covered 4 in a row, and it is 6-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 outings. The Over 7-4 across the past 11 games.

Sparks at Fever odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 6:36 p.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Sparks +570 (bet $100 to win $570) | Fever -900 (bet $900 to win $100)
Against the spread: Sparks +12 (-108) | Fever -12 (-112)
Over/Under (O/U): 173.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sparks at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 93, Sparks 84

Moneyline

Indiana (-900) will set you back 9 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive for a standalone bet, or as part of a multi-leg parlay. Over the long term, betting such heavy favorites is not a recommended strategy.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SPARKS +12 (-108) have already won in Indianapolis once this season, so Fever -12 (-112) is a bit too high of a number.

In addition, L.A. just beat the WNBA-leading Liberty outright Wednesday as a 12.5-point underdog, while going 4-2 ATS in the past 6 games. As a double-digit underdog, that’s when the Sparks seem to shine the most, going 10-3 ATS this season, including 3 outright wins.

Over/Under

OVER 173.5 (-110) is a strong play in this standalone game on Wednesday.

The Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 games for the Sparks, as they’ve scored 94 or more points in both of the Over results. In addition, defense is still an issue for L.A., allowing 79 or more points in 4 in a row in 21 of the past 22 outings.

For the Fever, they went for exactly 100 points in each of the past 2 outings, the 1st time hitting triple digits in successive games this season. This offense is locked in, and that makes the Over a strong play.

The Indiana Fever (16-16) and Dallas Wings (9-22) meet Sunday at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Wings odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Wings lead 1-0

The Wings picked up a 101-93 win at home on July 17 in the 1st and only meeting, covering as a 4-point underdog as the Over (178) connected. Dallas has won 7 of the previous 9 contests, while Indiana holds a 4-2 against the spread (ATS) edge in the past 6 meetings.

Indiana has won and covered 3 games in a row to get back to .500. It is trying to go over .500 for the 1st time this season. Indiana is also 7-2 SU and ATS in the past 9 outings since July 12. The Over has a slight 6-4 edge in the past 10 contests.

The Fever posted a 100-91 win over the rival Chicago Sky on the road Friday. G Caitlin Clark was good for 31 points, 12 assists and 4 rebounds with 5 3-pointers in the win.

The Wings surprised the visiting Minnesota Lynx on Friday, winning 94-76 as a 7.5-point underdog as the Under (170.5) connected. Dallas has won a season-high 3 straight games, while going 3-1 ATS in the past 4 games The Under has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 contests.

Fever at Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 98, Wings 91

Moneyline

If you’re a little on the conservative side, play INDIANA (-168) straight up, especially if you do not want to fiddle around with the points while backing the road team.

After a rough start to the season, the Fever have won 3 in a row, and 5 of the past 6, easily playing their best basketball of the season.

Against the spread

Back INDIANA -3.5 (-108) if you’re a more traditional bettor. It’s just 2 buckets, and the Fever are playing tremendous lately. The Fever have covered 3 in a row, while going 5-1 ATS in the past 6 contests.

Be careful, though, as the Fever suffered a 101-93 loss in Dallas on July 17 in the final game prior to the Olympic break.

Over/Under

OVER 182.5 (-110) is a strong play, as Indiana has scored 80 or more points in 10 straight outings, including 93 points in Dallas in the 1st meeting.

The Wings, on the other hand, rank last in the WNBA with 90.4 points per game allowed and a 47.2% defensive field-goal percentage. The Over is 12-5 in the past 17 outings for the Wings.

Go high, and feel confidently in doing so.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (22-7) and Indiana Fever (14-16) meet Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sun lead 3-0

The Sun have 3 victories in 3 meetings with Caitlin Clark and the Fever this season, including the regular-season opener back on May 14. Connecticut has won 11 straight meetings since July 3, 2021, and the Sun is 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 in the series, while going 7-3 ATS in the past 10.

Connecticut has won 3 games in a row, including a 72-64 victory at New York last time out on Saturday as a 7.5-point underdog as the Under (158.5) cashed. The cover snapped an 0-3 ATS skid, while the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Indiana topped Atlanta 84-79 on Monday as a 1.5-point underdog as the Under (167) connected. The Fever are 3-1 SU and ATS in the past 4 outings, and they’re 5-2 ATS in the previous 7 contests.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 88, Fever 79

Moneyline

If you’re on the conservative side, CONNECTICUT (-172) isn’t a terrible play. The Sun have won 11 straight meetings in this series, and it hasn’t been fazed facing the rookie Clark.

Be careful, though, as the Sun won 88-84 in a close game in the only previous meeting in Indianapolis this season.

Against the spread

Back CONNECTICUT -3.5 (-108) laying the points if you’re a little more adventurous. The Sun have covered 4 of the past 5 meetings, including 2 of 3 games this season.

Be careful, though, as the Sun did win by only 4 points in the 1st meeting in Indy, with the Fever +3.5 (-112) covering as a 5.5-point underdog on May 20.

Over/Under

OVER 164.5 (-108) is a strong play in the 4th installment of this series this season.

Connecticut has scored 88 or more points in each of the first 3 battles, while the Over has cashed in each of the past 2 meetings.

While the Sun have cashed low on the total in 3 of the past 4 outings, the Over has a 4-3 edge in the past 7 games.

For the Fever, the Over has hit at a 5-3 pace in the past 8 outings, while going 3-1 in the past 4 games at Gainbridge.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (13-16) and Atlanta Dream (10-18) meet Monday at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Dream odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-0

The Fever lost 90-80 at Minnesota Saturday as 5-point underdogs as the Over (168.5) connected just barely. Despite the non-cover, Indiana is still a respectable 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 games, while the Over is on a 5-2 roll in the previous 7 outings.

The Dream split a pair of games with the visiting Phoenix Mercury in a back-to-back Wednesday and Friday, and Atlanta is a healthy 5-0-2 ATS in the past 7 games and 7-1-2 ATS across the previous 10 outings. The Under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 contests while going 6-2-1 in the past 9 games.

These teams last met June 21 in Atlanta, with G Caitlin Clark and Indiana coming away with a 91-79 win as 3-point favorites as the Over (163.5) easily came through. Clark went for 16 points, including four 3-pointers, while adding 7 assists. F NaLyssa Smith led the charge with 21 points and 9 boards on an efficient 10-of-17 shooting, while F Aliyah Boston had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds to go along with 3 blocked shots.

Over/Under (O/U): 166.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Dream picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 83, Dream 80

Moneyline

INDIANA (-154) is a solid play in this road battle in the ATL.

The Fever have won each of the previous meetings this season, including the earlier battle in Atlanta June 21 by 12 points. The Fever have won and covered 3 in a row in this series, too.

Atlanta (+126) is just 4-12 across the past 16 games, and it has to prove it can get over the hump against Clark and the Fever before bettors can trust the Dream won’t be a nightmare.

Against the spread

The Fever were 1.5-point underdogs Sunday morning, and the line shifting all the way to Indiana becoming 3-point favorites may be too aggressive of a move.

If you like Indiana, the ML is the safer play and still available at a decent price.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 166.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has dominated for Atlanta lately, cashing at a 6-2-1 clip in the past 9 games, including 3-1-1 in the previous 5 home outings. There is risk, though, as the Over has connected in each of the previous 2 meetings this season with Indiana.

For the Fever, while the Over has dominated this season going 19-10 overall, the Under has a slight 6-5 edge across the past 11 games dating back to June 27. And, the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 outings on the road.

Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (17-9) and Indiana Fever (12-15) meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Sunday. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 3-0

The Storm suffered an 83-81 loss in Atlanta as a 7-point favorite as play resumed after the Olympic break. Seattle is just 4-3 straight-up (SU) in the past 7 outings, while failing to cover the past 3 contests.

The Over has cashed in 2 in a row, and 3 straight on the road, while the Storm has allowed 83 or more points in 6 consecutive games away from home.

The Fever resumed play after the break with a 98-89 victory against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday as a 3-point favorite as the Over (174.5) cashed. Indiana is 3-1 SU and against the spread (ATS) across the past 4 outings, while the Over has hit in 4 of the previous 5 outings.

These teams have met 3 times this season, with Seattle winning each of the meetings. Seattle is averaging 92.3 points per game (PPG), while the Over is 2-1 in 3 contests.

Caitlin Clark is averaging 18.7 points, 7.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game in the 3 meetings with Seattle this season, and she has hit 8 total 3-pointers against the Storm.

Storm at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 91, Fever 84

Moneyline

If you’re a little bit more conservative, and you don’t feel like fiddling around with the points, SEATTLE (-164) is a strong play straight up. It is slightly cheaper than my personal limit of -180 for a standalone wager.

While Indiana (+134) has played much better after a dismal start, it hasn’t found the combination to solve the Storm in 3 previous meetings.

Against the spread

Playing the STORM -3.5 (-108) is worth a look. Over the years, with or without CC22, the Fever +3.5 (-112) has struggled with Seattle. Indiana is just 2-8 SU in the past 10 meetings, while the Storm is an impressive 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 meetings since July 1, 2022.

This takes a little bit of a leap of faith, as the Storm has failed to cover in the past 3 games, and they lost in Atlanta. But, again, Seattle has not had issues with Indiana in the 3 previous meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 168.5 (-110) is worth a look. The total has gone high in 2 of 3 meetings this season.

The Storm has racked up 81 or more points on offense in 4 straight games, and 9 of the previous 10 outings.

For the Fever, the Over has connected in 4 of 5 outings, while going for 93 or more points in 3 of the previous 4 contests. However, Indiana’s defense has been horrific lately, coughing up 86 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings. Go high, and feel confidently in doing so.

Team USA vs. WNBA All-Stars odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Team USA and WNBA All-Stars meet Saturday at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Team USA vs. WNBA All-Stars odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Team USA gets a big tune-up game ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The 12 Team USA members are G Chelsea Gray, G Kelsey Plum, C A’ja Wilson and G Jackie Young of the Las Vegas Aces, G Sabrina Ionescu and F Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty, Minnesota Lynx F Napheesa Collier, Seattle Storm G Jewell Loyd, Connecticut Sun F Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury trio of G/F Kahleah Copper, C Brittney Griner and G Diana Taurasi, who will get to play on their homecourt.

Team USA vs. WNBA All-Stars odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:15 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Team USA -250 (bet $250 to win $100) | WNBA All-Stars +205 (bet $100 to win $205)
Against the spread: Team USA -6.5 (-105) | WNBA All-Stars +6.5 (-115)
Over/Under (O/U): 187.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Team USA vs. WNBA All-Stars picks and predictions

Prediction

Team USA 102, WNBA All-Stars 91

Moneyline

Team USA (-250) will set you back 2½ times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

In addition, the U.S. Olympics entry, while superstars in their own right in the WNBA, haven’t played together enough ahead of Paris, so we might see some disjointed play as they attempt to build some chemistry. Expect the play to be a little choppy early on, although they’re the best of the best and we should see Team USA pull away in the end.

PASS on the expensive moneyline.

Against the spread

Lay the points with TEAMS USA -6.5 (-105), although, again, this team is playing its 1st real game together, and you can expect a bit of a slow start against a star-studded Team WNBA side.

In fact, backing the WNBA ALL-STARS +3.5 (-125) with the points on the FIRST-HALF LINE is a recommended play.

Over/Under

OVER 187.5 (-115) is a strong play in this star-studded affair in the desert.

Team USA has the potential to hit triple digits in this Olympic tune-up, and Clark, Reese and company will give them all they can handle before fading away in a high-scoring 2nd half of action.
