Washington Mystics at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (5-17) and Indiana Fever (9-13) meet Wednesday afternoon at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (NBATV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-0

The Mystics suffered a 74-67 road loss Saturday against the Minnesota Lynx last time out on Saturday, but they covered as 9-point underdogs with the Under (158) cashing. Washington has dropped 4 of the past 5 games, but it is on an impressive 6-1 against-the-spread (ATS) run and is 10-2 ATS in the past 12 outings.

The Fever won the most recent matchup in this series June 19 at Indianapolis, topping the Mystics 88-81 as 5-point favorites with the Over (167) connecting.

Indiana is brimming with confidence after taking down the 1st-place New York Liberty 83-78 Saturday. The Fever were 10.5-point underdogs and the Under (174) cashed. Indiana is a solid 6-3 in the past 9 games, while going 7-2 ATS in the impressive span. The Under is 4-0 in its previous 4 outings.

Rookie G Caitlin Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history with a triple-double in the win vs. the Liberty, posting 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds.

Over/Under (O/U): 167.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mystics at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 84, Mystics 80

Moneyline

Indiana (-280) will cost 2.8 times the potential return, and that’s just a bit too steep for a standalone wager. If you’re playing a multi-leg parlay, or a Same-Game Parlay (SGP) with player props, backing the Fever on the moneyline can certainly be excused. However, betting such strong favorites is a poor long-term betting strategy.

AVOID and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

WASHINGTON +6 (-108) is worth playing lightly catching the points.

This is the most points Indiana has been favored by this season. The Fever were 5.5-point favorites May 28 against the visiting Los Angeles Sparks, and Indiana lost outright 88-82.

However, as mentioned, Indiana did win 88-81 against Washington as a 5-point favorite June 19. Indiana is just 1-2 ATS in 3 games this season when it is favored by 3.5 points or more.

Over/Under

UNDER 167.5 (-108) is a strong play in this matinee affair.

The Under has cashed in 4 straight outings for the Fever, including its confidence-building win over the Liberty last time out. The total went low despite Clark’s triple-double heroics.

Again, we’ll be betting the opposite way of how this matchup went before, as the total went Over June 19, as well as June 7 in the nation’s capital. However, the Mystics have cashed Unders in 3 of the past 4 outings, and we should see the offense for both sides get out of the gates slowly with a mid-week afternoon tip time.

New York Liberty at Connecticut Sun odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Liberty (17-4) and Connecticut Sun (17-4) meet Wednesday afternoon at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Tip-off is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Liberty vs. Sun odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 1-0

The Liberty picked up an 82-75 home win against the Sun June 8, cashing as 2.5-point favorites with the Over (154) hitting in their 1st regular-season meeting.

Last season, New York won all 4 regular-season meetings vs. Connecticut, while going 3-1 against the spread (ATS) with the Over/Under splitting 2-2.

In the postseason, the Liberty rebounded from a Game 1 loss to win a best-of-5 semifinal series in 4 games vs. the Sun — though Connecticut covered 3 of the 4 playoff battles.

New York is coming off an 83-78 loss as a 10.5-point favorite at the Indiana Fever Saturday, snapping a 5-game win streak. The Liberty are a dismal 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games, while the Under has cashed in 3 in a row.

Connecticut won 80-67 against the visiting Atlanta Dream Sunday, but it just missed the cover as a 14-point favorite. The Sun have won 3 in a row, but it is just 4-3 in the past 7 games, while going 2-6 ATS in the previous 8 contests. The Under has hit in 3 in a row, and 7 of the past 9 contests.

Against the spread: Liberty -2.5 (-112) | Sun +2.5 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 156.5 (O: -114 | U: -106)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Liberty at Sun picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 79, Liberty 75

Moneyline

CONNECTICUT (+128) is a solid moderate underdog on its home court against New York (-158).

Yes, the Liberty has dominated this series lately, winning 8 of the past 9 head-to-head battles, including in 5 straight trips to Connecticut. However, the Sun enter this crucial showdown with 3 straight wins, including impressive victories at the Phoenix Mercury and Minnesota Lynx last week.

Against the spread

Connecticut +2.5 (-108) is worth a look catching the little bit of points if you are a bit on the conservative side and don’t want to bet the moneyline. However, the better value is playing the Sun straight up, and by no means should you play both ends together.

Over/Under

UNDER 156.5 (-106) is a solid play in this clash for the top overall spot in the W.

The Under has cashed in 3 straight regular-season games for Connecticut, while going 7-3 in the past 10 outings. At home, the Sun have cashed Unders in 2 of the past 3.

For the Liberty, they enter play with 3 consecutive Under results, while the Under is 6-3 in the past 9 outings on the road. However, the 1st head-to-head battle in Connecticut teams went Over, so be careful, and go lightly.

Chicago Sky at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (8-11) and Seattle Storm (13-7) meet Sunday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

This is the 2nd of back-to-back games in Seattle as these teams faced off Friday with the Sky coming away with an 88-84 victory. F Angel Reese had her best scoring game of her young career with a career-high 27 points, while also pulling down 10 boards. She has a WNBA single-season record of double-doubles in 12 straight games. G Chennedy Carter also shook off her All-Star snub with a season-high 33 points.

All 5 of Seattle’s starters were in double figures, led by G Jordan Horston’s 20 points. Prior to the loss, the Storm had won 4 in a row, and all by double digits. G Jewell Loyd, who leads the team with 19.3 PPG, had just 13 and went 0-for-6 from distance in Friday’s defeat.

Against the spread: Sky +9.5 (-115) | Storm -9.5 (-105)
Over/Under (O/U): 164.5 (O: -105 | U: -125)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sky at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 81, Sky 77

Moneyline

I look for the Storm to bounce back, but no thanks on the -500 ML. I’ll take JEWELL LOYD UNDER 20.5 POINTS (-115) instead. In 2 games against Chicago, she has 13 and 19 points. It’s worth the roll of the dice.

Against the spread

The Sky have won 2 in a row in convincing fashion, and I think they are an ascending team. Carter and Reese are taking their games to another level. Look for them to keep this within 10. BET SKY +9.5 (-115).

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

Over/Under

This total is a little high for me as I look for some regression from Chicago on the road. The Storm are just 5-5 O/U in their last 10, and they scored 89+ in the 3 games before Friday. Look for them to make some adjustments and pull out a close one. Take the UNDER 164.5 (-125).

Dallas Wings at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Wings at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Wings (5-16) and Las Vegas Aces (12-7) meet Sunday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Wings vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Aces picked up a 95-81 win in Arlington against the Wings June 5, cashing as 9-point favorites with the Over (167.5) connecting. Superstar C A’ja Wilson posted 36 points on 15-of-22 shooting, while adding 12 rebounds, 6 steals, 2 assist and a blocked shot.

However, Las Vegas is coming off a loss, suffering a 98-93 defeat in overtime at the Los Angeles Sparks Friday as a 13-point favorite — the Over (173.5) easily connected. Despite the outcome, Vegas is still 5-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 games, while the Over has slight 4-3 edge in the span.

The Wings scored an 85-82 win at home against the Atlanta Dream Friday, but Dallas failed to cover as a 4.5-point favorite as the Over (163) connected. The victory halted a 3-game losing skid for Dallas, while it is 0-4 ATS in the past 4 games and just 2-13 ATS across the previous 15. The Over has cashed at a 6-1 clip in the Wings’ past 7 outings.

Wings at Aces odds

Moneyline (ML): Wings +790 (bet $100 to win $790) | Aces -1500 (bet $1,500 to win $100)
Against the spread: Wings +15 (-112) | Aces -15 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 174.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Wings at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 98, Wings 79

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-1500) is going to be awfully upset after an embarrassing loss in Los Angeles Friday as a double-digit favorite. Don’t expect it to happen again.

The Aces should take out their frustrations on the skidding Wings (+790), but you can’t risk this kind of money for such a minuscule return. Friday’s game in L.A. should serve as a cautionary tale why it is never a good idea to play such heavy favorites on the moneyline.

AVOID.

Against the spread

LAS VEGAS -15 (-108) failed to win, let alone cover, as a double-digit favorite Friday in Los Angeles. Don’t look for a repeat letdown Sunday, especially in front of the home fans.

As mentioned, the Aces paddled the Wings by 14 points in the Metroplex last month. Plus, they have won the past 4 meetings against Dallas at Mandalay Bay by an average margin of 10.3 points per game (PPG). Expect another impressive double-digit victory Sunday afternoon on the Strip.

Over/Under

OVER 174.5 (-110) is worth a look in this Western Conference matinee battle. The Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 meetings in this series, including the first battle in Texas just over a month ago.

The Aces have averaged 95.5 PPG in the past 2 games. They have scored 88 or more points in 5 in a row, while going for 85 or more points in 10 of the past 11 outings.

The Wings defense is horrific, allowing 88 or more points in 6 of the past 7 outings, with the Over going 6-1 in that same span.

New York Liberty at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Liberty (17-3) and Indiana Fever (8-13) meet Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Liberty vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty leads 3-0

Rookie G Caitlin Clark and the Fever hope the 4th time is a charm. They’re 0-3 vs. the Liberty this season and 1-2 against the spread (ATS) in those losses.

New York won at Indiana 102-66 as an 8.5-point favorite May 16 with the Under (170) cashing. The other 2 wins came in New York (91-80 as a 13-point favorite May 18 and 104-68 as a 14.5-point fave June 2). The average margin of the 3 Liberty’s victories is 27.7 points per game (PPG).

Entering Saturday, Indiana has dropped 3 of its past 4 games and cashed 3 Unders in a row. The Fever are 1-2 ATS in the past 3 games after a 5-0 ATS run June 13-23.

New York has won 5 regular-season games in a row since a 99-93 setback at Phoenix June 18 — the Liberty lost 94-89 to the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner’s Cup final June 25. Including that title game, the Liberty are 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games, while the Under has hit in the past 2 contests.

Over/Under (O/U): 173 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Liberty at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 89, Fever 76

Moneyline

New York (-500) will cost 5 times the potential return. While the Liberty have dominated this season series, you still can’t risk that much for such a small return.

Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, it makes no sense to include such a heavy favorite on your ticket.

AVOID.

Against the spread

NEW YORK -9.5 (-112) has won all 3 meetings vs. Indiana this season by at least 11 points, including two 36-point beatdowns.

The Liberty have won 5 straight regular-season games, and it has covered 2 of the past 3 of those outings.

After a hot stretch, the Fever dropped 3 of the past 4 games, while going 1-2 ATS in the past 3 outings.

Over/Under

UNDER 173 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 3 straight games for the Fever, who averaged just 78.0 PPG in the stretch.

The Liberty have hit the Under in each of the past 2 outings, averaging 78.5 PPG on offense, while conceding just 71.0 PPG.

While the Over is 2-1 in the previous 3 meetings between these sides, the Under cashed in the only prior battle in Indianapolis.

Connecticut Sun at Minnesota Lynx odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Connecticut Sun at Minnesota Lynx odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (15-4) and Minnesota Lynx (14-5) meet Thursday at Target Center in Minneapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Lynx odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sun lead 1-0

The Sun picked up an 83-72 win at the Phoenix Mercury last time out as 4.5-point favorites as the Under (157) cashed. It was just the 2nd win in 5 tries for Connecticut, while it halted an 0-5 against the spread (ATS) skid. The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 outings.

The Lynx have lost 2 of the past 3 games since winning the Commissioner’s Cup at the New York Liberty June 25. Minnesota is also 1-2 ATS in the 3 games since, while cashing the Under in 4 of the past 5 regular-season outings. The Under is also 8-3 in the past 11 regular-season contests.

These teams met May 23 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., with the Sun edging the Lynx 83-82 in OT, although Minnesota cashed as a 5.5-point underdog with the Over (162) cashing.

In that OT loss, Minnesota shot 48.5% (33-of-68) from the field, but just 19.0% (4-of-21) from behind the 3-point line and 60.0% (12-of-20) from the free-throw line, while turning it over 17 times. F Napheesa Collier had 31 points with 11 rebounds in 44 minutes.

The Sun shot 44.8% (30-of-67) from the field in the OT win, while going 45.5% (5-of-11) from behind the arc, and 85.7% (18-of-21) from the free-throw stripe. F DeWanna Bonner led the way with 20 points, 1 of 3 Sun starters with at least 18 points.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Lynx picks and predictions

Prediction

Lynx 76, Sun 71

Moneyline

MINNESOTA (-160) is worth a look as a moderate favorite on the moneyline, as this should be a rather close game between 2 teams not playing very well lately.

Connecticut (+130) has lost 4 games all season, but 3 of those setbacks have occurred in the past 5 outings. The Sun can’t be trusted on the road. Minnesota could have easily won the 1st meeting, but it struggled from downtown and from the free-throw line. With a change of venue, the Lynx should be able to get the job done at home.

Against the spread

MINNESOTA -3 (-112) is cheaper laying the points, but don’t play both (the spread and the moneyline), as we’re not double dipping.

Connecticut has struggled against the number, going just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 outings. The Sun also failed to cover against the Lynx in the 1st meeting, too.

Go lightly with the Lynx at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 151 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this marquee battle on July 4 which is sure to have plenty of fireworks.

While the Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 games for Connecticut, don’t get too pressed about that. The Under is 7-0 in the past 7 games for the Sun against Western Conference opponents.

The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 regular-season contests for the Lynx, while going 8-3 in the past 11 outings, not including the Commissioner’s Cup Final.

Phoenix Mercury at Dallas Wings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Phoenix Mercury at Dallas Wings odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Phoenix Mercury (9-10) and Dallas Wings (4-15) meet Wednesday at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mercury vs. Wings odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Mercury have dropped 3 of the past 4 games, while also going 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in the span. The Under has cashed in all 4 of those outings, too.

These teams have already met twice, once in the Metroplex when Phoenix escaped with a 97-90 win in 2 OT June 9 as a 1-point favorite as the Over (163) cashed.

In that June meeting, Phoenix shot 46.3% (37-of-80) from the field, and just 27.3% (9-of-33) from behind the arc, while Dallas had a 36-to-29 rebounding margin.

The Mercury got to the free-throw line 5 more times in that meeting, converting 14-of-19 from the stripe, while the Wings were 10-of-14. The Wings had a plus-1 turnover margin, while going plus-4 with points in the paint. However, the big difference was one technical foul and one flagrant foul on the Wings.

In an earlier meeting, Dallas won 107-92 in Phoenix May 25, easily a season high in production. The Over has cashed in both head-to-head meetings this season, and the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for Dallas since June 22.

Over/Under (O/U): 170 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mercury at Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Mercury 87, Wings 85

Moneyline

Phoenix (-230) will cost 2.3 times the potential return, which is a bit risky considering the fact it has had quite a bit of trouble with Dallas.

In fact, if you were forced to pick a side, the Wings would be the much better value at +184. However, the best play is to PASS.

Against the spread

BACK DALLAS +5 (-110) catching the points at home.

The Wings played their hearts out in the 2OT win last time they hosted the Mercury. With a little more discipline, that game could have gone another way. Dallas hasn’t won many, but it did get the job done in Phoenix earlier this season.

The Wings have been a major thorn in the side of the Mercury, and they’re worth backing catching more than 2 buckets.

OVER 170 (-112) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Mercury are not a very good defensive team, ranking 9th in both points allowed (84.7) and 3-point defensive field-goal percentage (35.1%). However, they are just so-so offensively, too.

For the Wings, they have the worst scoring defense in the WNBA, allowing 88.1 PPG, while checking in 11th with a 45.3% field-goal percentage.

The Over has hit in the first 2 meetings this season, so let’s keep rolling with the Over until Dallas and Phoenix show some semblance of D.

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (8-12) and Las Vegas Aces (10-6) meet Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Aces lead 1-0

The Aces picked up a 99-80 win against the Fever May 25 at Mandalay Bay, covering as 16-point favorites with the Over (174.5) connecting.

The Aces shot 47.9% (35-of-73) from the field, while hitting 37.1% (13-of-35) from behind the 3-point line. Las Vegas was also 88.9% (16-of-18) from the free-throw line.

The Fever hit just 42.9% (30-of-70) from the field, while managing to hit 37.0% (10-of-27) from downtown and going 76.9% (10-of-13) from the charity stripe. Las Vegas was a plus-4 in turnover margin, while the rebounding margin was even.

C A’ja Wilson scored 29 points with 15 rebounds on 12-of-18 shooting. She was 1 of 3 Aces with 20 or more points. G Kelsey Plum went for 20 points and G Jackie Young ended up with 22 points, with both players hitting 3 triples.

Fever G Caitlin Clark ended up with just 8 points in the 1st meeting, while hitting only 2-of-8 from the floor. She did have 7 assists and 5 rebounds, but she also turned it over 6 more times.

Fever at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Fever 85

Moneyline

Backing Las Vegas (-1050) will cost more than 10 times the potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Aces sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

TAKE INDIANA +13 (-110) as an underdog catching double digits.

The last time the Fever visited the Aces, Las Vegas came away with a 19-point win, flirting with triple digits on offense. However, the Aces are just 3-6 ATS in the past 9 games, while going just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings as a favorite of 7 or more points.

The Fever were struggling with hero ball, while failing to generate much in the way of consistency in the first meeting. However, Indiana has jelled nicely over the past month and is 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games, including an outright win at Phoenix as an 8-point underdog last time out in an 88-82 win.

Over/Under

OVER 175 (-108) is always a strong play in Fever games. The Under has hit in the past 2 games, but the Over is still 8-2 across the past 10 contests, and 14-4 in the previous 18 outings.

The Over cashed in the 1st meeting at home against the Aces, too, as these teams combined for 179 points with a total of 174.5 on the board.

For the Aces, the Under and Over have alternated in 6 games, while the Over is 5-3 across the previous 8 outings.

Minnesota Lynx at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Minnesota Lynx (14-4) and New York Liberty (16-3) meet Tuesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lynx vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Regular-season series: Lynx lead 1-0; also won at Liberty 94-89 June 25 in Commissioner’s Cup Final

The Lynx won outright as 5.5-point underdogs to take the Commissioner’s Cup with the Over (163.5) easily connecting at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. In the regular-season meeting, Minnesota prevailed 84-67 as a 7-point home underdog as the Under (167.5) cashed May 25.

The Liberty rebounded from their Commissioner’s Cup loss with an 81-75 win over the visiting Atlanta Dream Sunday, although New York didn’t cover as a 15.5-point favorite and the Under (167) connected.

New York has won 4 regular-season games in a row, but it is just 1-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 games, including the Cup loss to Minnesota. The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games, also including the Cup setback against the Lynx.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Lynx at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Lynx 86, Liberty 81

Moneyline

MINNESOTA (+194) is a tremendous value for the chance to nearly multiply up by 2 times.

As mentioned, the Lynx won the first regular-season meeting by 17 points, winning outright as a +225 underdog. In the Commissioner’s Cup Championship victory, Minnesota cashed as a +184 ML underdog.

Against the spread

If you can’t bring yourself to bet Minnesota straight up on the ML, taking Minnesota +5.5 (-112) is the way to go.

The Lynx have been the kryptonite for the Liberty, winning 7 of the past 10 head-to-head contests, while going 6-3-1 ATS.

New York has won 4 regular-season games in a row, but it is just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games, including the loss in the Commissioner’s Cup Final.

Over/Under

OVER 165 (-110) is the lean here.

The total has gone Over in 5 of the past 6 games for the Liberty, including the loss June 25 to the Lynx. The Over is also 7-2 in the past 9 outings, while going 6-1 in the past 7 games at home.

For the Lynx, though, the Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 regular-season games, although the total did go high in the Cup title game. Bet Over, but be careful.
