[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.

The Fever have won back-to-back games after taking down the Minnesota Lynx 81-74 Sunday as 4.5-point road underdogs. G Kelsey Mitchell scored a game-high 21 points, and F Aliyah Boston and G Caitlin Clark each added 17. Indiana shot 44.3% from the field in the win.

The Wings have dropped 3 games in a row after falling 87-81 against the Los Angeles Sparks Saturday as 4-point home favorites. G Odyssey Sims had a team-high 23 points, 1 of 5 Dallas players to score in double figures. The team shot 43.7% from the field in the loss.

There is no value on the Fever (-185), who have won 3 of their last 4 games, to take down the Wings, who have lost 6 of their last 7.

Against the spread

BET FEVER -3.5 (-115).

Indiana is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games, including 4-1 ATS in its last 5 as a favorite. Dallas is just 1-9 ATS in its last 10 and 0-5 ATS in its last 5 as an underdog.

Chicago Sky at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Chicago Sky at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (9-14) and Las Vegas Aces (16-7) meet Tuesday at Michelob ULTRA Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Sky fell 81-67 Saturday at home against the New York Liberty — Chicago was a 3.5-point underdog and the Under (164) hit. F Angel Reese’s double-double streak ended at 15 games as she finished with 8 points and 16 rebounds. The rookie out of LSU was essentially quadruple-teamed late in the game to keep her from getting the lone bucket needed to continue it. The Sky have lost 3 of 4.

After a bit of a lull, the Aces have won 10 of 11, most recently prevailing 89-77 at the Washington Mystics Sunday. They came up short of covering as 12.5-point favorites and the Under (172.5) cashed. F A’ja Wilson dominated with 28 points and 17 boards Sunday. She is averaging 29.6 PPG and 15.4 RPG over the last 5 games, which is just an insane stretch. However, Las Vegas is just 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games.

Sky at Aces odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 4:46 p.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Sky +625 (bet $100 to win $625) | Aces -1000 (bet $1,000 to win $100)
Against the spread: Sky +13.5 (-115) | Aces -13.5 (-105)
Over/Under (O/U): 173.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sky at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 89, Sky 72

Moneyline

The Sky have dropped from +700 to +625 underdogs by Tuesday afternoon, but the spread has remained the same. Meanwhile, the Aces went from -1100 to -1000. There is no play here because the Sky are rightfully considerable dogs in this one.

Instead, I’m taking ANGEL REESE OVER 13.5 POINTS (+105). Now, she hasn’t hit this number in 3 consecutive games, but she had 18 points against the Aces June 27. She steps up to these challenges.

Against the spread

The fact that the spread has not changed despite the MLs moving a bit tells me this one is right on point. The Aces beat the Sky by 12 in Chicago. Vegas has won by 19+ in their last 3 home games.

LEAN ACES -13.5 (-105).

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

Over/Under

The Sky are going to need 80 points to cash this Over because Vegas hasn’t touched 90 in 3 straight. The Aces are 4-6 O/U in their last 10, and Chicago is 5-5.

I’m taking the UNDER 173.5 (-110).

Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (18-5) clash with the New York Liberty (20-4) Tuesday. Tip from Barclays Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 2-0

Connecticut got back in the win column with a dominant 96-69 victory over the Phoenix Mercury Sunday as a 7.5-point home favorite. G Rachel Banham scored a game-high 24 points off the bench while G DiJonai Carrington (12 points, 11 rebounds) added a double-double. The Sun shot 47.4% from the field in the win.

New York has won 3 games in a row after taking down the Chicago Sky 81-67 Saturday and covering as a 3.5-point road favorite. G Sabrina Ionescu had a game-high 28 points, 1 of 4 Liberty players to score in double digits. The team shot 42.3% from the field in the win.

Liberty F Breanna Stewart (rest) is questionable for Tuesday. Stewart is the Liberty’s 2nd-leading scorer this season with 19.3 points per game, just behind Ionescu (19.4).

The Liberty and Sun are the top teams in their respective conferences.

Sun at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 85, Sun 79

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on the WNBA-best Liberty (-185), who are 11-1 at home, to beat the Sun for a 3rd time this season.

Against the spread

LEAN LIBERTY -3.5 (-115).

The Sun have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games as underdogs and 3 of their last 5 on the road. While this is the largest spread between these 2 squads this season, the Liberty have covered in each of the 2 previous matchups. New York has covered in 3 games in a row and in 4 of its last 5 as a favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 153.5 (-110).

While both sides excel on defense, they also are 2 dominant offensive teams. As it stands, this total is the lowest by 5.5 points in New York’s last 10 games, with the team hitting the Over in 4 of its last 6 at home. The Sun have scored 74 or more points in 8 of their last 10 games, while the Liberty have scored 76 or more in 9 of their last 10.

Season series: Sun lead 2-0

The Sun’s 3-game winning streak ended with a 71-68 loss against the New York Liberty on Wednesday while failing to cover as 2.5-point home underdogs. F DeWanna Bonner‘s game-high 22 points led 3 Sun players scoring in double figures. Connecticut shot 35.8% from the field in the loss.

Indiana Fever at Minnesota Lynx odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (10-14) and Minnesota Lynx (16-7) meet Target Center in Minneapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Lynx odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Fever won 3-1 in 2023

The Fever picked up a 95-86 win against the visiting Phoenix Mercury Friday, cashing as a 2-point favorite as the Over (173.5) connected. The Fever have alternated wins and losses, and covers and non-covers, in each of the past 6 games.

Indiana is 2-4 straight up (SU) and 3-3 against the spread (ATS) in 6 previous games on the road against Western Conference opponents.

Caitlin Clark might not be close to setting the rookie WNBA record for double-doubles like her nemesis Angel Reese, but she now has the longest active streak among rookies with 5 in a row. CC22 is averaging 19.2 points, 12.4 assists and 7.6 rebounds across the 5-game span. She has also recorded 8 steals and 5 blocked shots in the past 3 contests.

The Lynx suffered an embarrassing 91-63 loss at Seattle on Friday, and they didn’t come close to covering as a 6.5-point underdog as the total (154) pushed at most shops. Minnesota is a mediocre 3-4 SU across the past 7 games, while going 1-4 ATS in the previous 5 outings. The Under is on a 5-0–1 run in the past 6 games, and 11-3-1 across the past 15 contests.

Against the Eastern Conference, the Lynx are 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS in 4 home games this season. They’re also 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS in the past 3 tries overall against the East.

Over/Under (O/U): 162.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Lynx picks and predictions

Prediction

Lynx 81, Fever 76

Moneyline

MINNESOTA (-184) is a good, but costly, play straight up if you’re a little more on the conservative side, and you’d prefer to just pick a winner without fiddling around with the points. A lot of casual bettors, especially new bettors to the WNBA, might find that to be a better option, albeit one which is slightly more expensive.

Against the spread

The more experienced, and slightly more adventurous, bettors will want to back MINNESOTA -3.5 (-114) at home.

The Lynx are coming off an embarrassing 28-point pounding by the Storm in Seattle, so expect Minnesota to return to its home court, especially in front of a capacity crowd, carrying a bit of a chip on its collective shoulders.

Indiana +3.5 (-106) has managed to win and cover 3 times in the past 5 outings, but it is just 1-2 ATS in the past 3 tries against Western Conference teams on the road.

Over/Under

UNDER 162.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

While the total has gone high in the past 2 games, the Under is 4-2 for the Fever in the previous 6 contests, including the past 3 games on the road against Western Conference foes.

For the Lynx, it’s been all about the Under lately. The Under is 5-0-1 in the past 6 games, while going 11-3-1 across the previous 15 outings. Go low, and feel confidently in doing so.

New York Liberty at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Liberty at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Liberty (19-4) and Chicago Sky (9-13) meet Saturday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Liberty vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 2-1

The Liberty are shooting for their 20th victory of the season. After losing 90-81 against the Sky at Barclays Center as a 16.5-point favorite May 23, New York has bounced back with 2 straight wins by at least 13 points against Chicago. The Liberty covered both of those outings, too.

The Over is 2-1 in the 3 meetings between these teams, with the Liberty averaging 86.7 points per game (PPG) while allowing 80.3.

The Sky have won 3 of their past 5 games, but they lost the front end of the back-to-back set with New York Thursday. The Sky are also 3-2 ATS in the span.

Rookie F Angel Reese scored 10 points with 10 rebounds against the Liberty Thursday, and she has 15 consecutive double-doubles. She is averaging 12.0 PPG and 9.7 RPG in 3 meetings with the Liberty this season.

Over/Under (O/U): 163.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Liberty at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 86, Sky 79

Moneyline

New York (-265) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive. Remember, while the Liberty have won the past 2 meetings, including Thursday, by at least 13 points, this is also a New York team which lost as a double-digit favorite to Chicago earlier in the season.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

Backing NEW YORK -5.5 (-112) is the best play. The Liberty have dominated the past 2 meetings, winning by an average of 14.0 PPG. Chicago +5.5 (-108) has managed a 5-11 ATS mark in the past 16 games.

The Sky are 2-6 ATS in the past 8 games at home, too, including a 13-point loss to the Liberty June 4 in the most recent meeting at Wintrust Arena.

On the flip side, the Liberty are 6-2 ATS in the past 8 tries on the road.

Over/Under

OVER 163.5 (-112) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

For the Liberty, they have cashed the Under in 4 of the past 5 games, but the lone Over result was Thursday at home against the Sky, cashing by a half-point at most shops on a total of 166.5.

The Sky have hit the Over at a 3-2 mark in the past 5 games while going 9-4 in the past 13 outings, including a slight 4-3 edge to the Over in the past 7 home contests.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Phoenix Mercury (12-10) and Indiana Fever (9-14) meet Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mercury vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 1-0

The Mercury have won 3 in a row after a 100-84 demolition of the Dallas Wings as 7.5-point home favorites Wednesday with the Over (172.5) cashing. G Kahleah Copper led the way with a game-high 32 points with 5 rebounds and 4 assists with G Diana Taurasi out — she’ll also miss Friday’s game due to injury. C Brittney Griner had a solid performance in the win, finishing with 23 points, 4 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks — she was 9-for-15 from the field, including 2-for-2 behind the 3-point line.

The Fever have alternated wins and losses over the last 5 games with the latest being an 89-84 loss as 7-point home favorites vs. the Washington Mystics Wednesday. G Caitlin Clark had 29 points, 13 dimes, 5 boards and 3 blocks while going 5-for-9 from distance — she hit 10 of 11 free throws, too.

The Fever stunned the Mercury — with Taurasi in the lineup — 88-82 at Phoenix June 30. Indiana was an 8-point underdog. Clark had just 15 points on a 4-for-14 performance, including 2-for-10 from 3-point range, but she had 12 assists and 9 rebounds.

I think they dropped their most recent game to the 6-17 Mystics because they were looking ahead to this one. Phoenix being without Taurasi will hurt and open some things up for Clark.

BET INDIANA (+105).

Against the spread

When the Fever lose, they usually don’t cover. They’ve only done so once in their last 5 defeats. So PASS on that.

However, MGM has a Lion’s Boost of CAITLIN CLARK 3+ THREE-POINTERS AND FEVER ML (+240). Add the 33% Any Sport Boost token to make that a whopping +319 where a $100 bet profits $319!

Clark has 3+ 3-pointers in her last 2 games and 5 of her last 7.

Over/Under

The Under 175 hit in the 1st head-to-head matchup, and Phoenix is without Taurasi. The Under is 5-2 for Phoenix in its last 7. The Under is 4-1 in Indiana’s last 5.

Take the UNDER 173.5 (-110).
