[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Wings (4-14) and Seattle Storm (12-6) meet Monday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Wings vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 2-0

The Wings suffered a 97-76 loss in the front end of the back-to-back set in the Pacific Northwest on Saturday, as the Storm easily cashed as 11-point favorites while the Over (168.5) connected.

Seattle also won 92-84 in Dallas as a 6.5-point favorite on June 13, again as the Over (160) hit. The Storm is 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 meetings, while the Over has cashed in 5 of those meetings.

Dallas has won just once in the past 13 games, while going a dismal 2-10 ATS in the previous 12 outings. The Over has cashed in 4 straight, and 7 of the past 9 outings.

Seattle has won and covered the past 3 games, including the front end of the set with Dallas. The Storm are 5-2 SU/ATS in the past 7 games, while the Over holds a slight 4-3 edge in those outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Wings at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 93, Wings 77

Moneyline

Backing Seattle (-800) would set you back 8 times your potential return, and that’s just way too much risk for not enough reward, either for a straight-up bet or as part of a multi-leg parlay.

While the Storm is a good bet to win, there is no value betting such heavy favorites. Over the long term, it’s a losing betting strategy.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Back SEATTLE -11.5 (-112) in this 2nd end of a back-to-back set.

Dallas +11.5 (-108) has managed to cover just 2 times in the past 12 outings, while going 0-2 SU/ATS in 2 previous meetings with Seattle. The Storm have won those 2 meetings by an average of 14.5 points per game (PPG).

Dallas is also a dismal 1-6 ATS in the past 7 road games, while Seattle has cashed 6 in a row at home since May 25.

Over/Under

OVER 169 (-112) is the lean, but be careful not to get carried away.

The Under is 2-1 in the past 3 games for the Storm, but the Over has cashed in each of the previous 2 meetings this season.

The Over has cashed in 4 in a row for Dallas, while going 7-2 in the past 9 outings.

Connecticut Sun at Phoenix Mercury odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Connecticut Sun at Phoenix Mercury odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (13-4) and Phoenix Mercury (8-8) meet Monday at Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Mercury odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sun lead 1-0

The Sun have struggled lately, dropping 3 of the past 4 games, while failing to cover the past 5 outings. The only win came in a 94-91 OT win on Thursday in Washington, but Connecticut failed to cover as an 11-point favorite as the Over (151.5) cashed. The Under is 4-2 in the past 6 games.

Connecticut topped Phoenix 70-47 as an 8-point favorite on May 28 as the Under (168) cashed.

The Mercury have dropped 2 of the past 3 games, while also going 1-2 against the spread (ATS), while cashing low on the total in 3 straight. Phoenix lost 88-82 to the Indiana Fever on Sunday, snapping a 6-0 ATS in the past 6 tries at home.

Sun at Mercury odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:29 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Sun -170 (bet $170 to win $100) | Mercury +138 (bet $100 to win $138)
Against the spread: Sun -3 (-108) | Mercury +3 (-112)
Over/Under (O/U): 160 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Mercury picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 78, Mercury 72

Moneyline

CONNECTICUT (-170) is worth a look as a moderate favorite on the moneyline. It’s a risky play, as the Sun has dropped 3 of the past 4 outings, but this is a team which punished Phoenix (+138 by 23 points earlier this season.

The Mercury is also playing in the 2nd end of a back-to-back, and it lost 81-78 in New York in its only previous game with no rest on May 29, playing a day after that blowout loss in Connecticut.

Against the spread

Play CONNECTICUT -3 (-108), but be careful. This game is likely to be a lot more competitive than the 1st meeting.

First off, this game is in the Valley of the Sun, not in Connecticut. And Phoenix +3 (-112) has played well at home, while the Sun has failed to cover the past 5 outings. However, this is still a very good team, and the Sun’s defense remains dangerous.

Over/Under

UNDER 160 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 3 straight games for the Mercury, while going 9-4 across the past 13 outings. The total also went low with just 117 combined points on a total of 168 in the first meeting in Connecticut.

The Over has cashed in the past 2 games for the Sun, but the Under is 4-2 in the previous 6 outings.

Indiana Fever at Phoenix Mercury odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (7-12) and Phoenix Mercury (8-8) meet Sunday at Footprint Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Teams split 2-2 in 2023

The Fever were humbled 89-77 in Seattle on Thursday, failing to cover as a 9-point underdog as the Under (167) just hung on. Indiana saw its 5-game cover streak snapped, but an 8-0 Over run also came to an end.

Indiana is just 1-5 straight up (SU) against the Western Conference this season, while failing to cover the previous 4 against Western clubs. Despite Thursday’s Over in Seattle, the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 for the Fever against the West, while going 8-1 in the past 9 games, and 11-2 in the previous 13.

Rookie Caitlin Clark scored 15 points, including 3 treys, with 7 assists, 6 rebounds, a blocked shot and 6 turnovers in Seattle. She is the fastest player to reach 300 points, 100 assists and 100 rebounds, hitting those marks in just 19 games.

The Mercury posted a 92-78 win as a 10.5-point favorite against the Los Angeles Sparks Friday, while the Under (170.5) was able to connect.

The Merc have won 3 of the past 4 games outright, while covering at a 6-1 against the spread (ATS) clip in the past 7 outings. The Under has a slight 3-1 edge in the past 4 games, while going 8-4 in the past 12 contests.

Fever at Mercury odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 6:08 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Fever +265 (bet $100 to win $265) | Mercury -350 (bet $350 to win $100)
Against the spread: Fever +7.5 (-112) | Mercury -7.5 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 173.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Mercury picks and predictions

Prediction

Mercury 89, Fever 78

Moneyline

Phoenix (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that is way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Betting such heavy favorites like that is not a recommended long-term strategy.

Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Mercury sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

Play PHOENIX -7.5 (-108) laying the points against Indiana +7.5 (-112).

It was the Fever of old in Seattle, failing to cover while losing by double-digit points. Still, this could be a close game, as Indiana is still 5-1 ATS in the past 6 games despite the non-cover last time out.

The Mercury have managed to cover 6 of the past 7, and the offense has on fire lately, going for 87 or more points in 5 of the past 6 outings.

Over/Under

UNDER 173.5 (-110) is worth a look in this afternoon battle.

The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for the Mercury, while going 8-4 across the past 12 contests. The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games against Eastern Conference foes, too.

For the Fever, it’s been all about the Over lately, going 8-1 in the past 9 outings. However, that lone Under result came last time out on Thursday in Seattle.

Las Vegas Aces at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Las Vegas Aces at Washington Mystics odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (9-6) and Washington Mystics (4-14) meet Saturday at Entertainment & Sports Arena. Tip-off from Washington D.C. is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces won 2-1 last season

Las Vegas enters on a 3-game win streak, its longest of the season. The Aces covered in all 3 victories, also a season best.

The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces, while going 4-0 across the past 4 road games.

Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson leads the league in scoring (28.0 points per game), rebounds (11.3 rpg) and blocks (2.4 bpg). She had 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in a 95-83 win at the Chicago Sky Thursday, while hitting 10-of-19 from the field.

Washington has picked up the pace after a dismal 0-12 start, going 4-2 across the past 6 outings. Like the Aces, the Mystics have covered the past 3 games, while going an impressive 7-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 8 contests.

The Over is on a 5-0 run for the Mystics, while going 7-1 in the past 8 outings.

Aces at Mystics odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:56 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Aces -1000 (bet $1,000 to win $100) | Mystics +610 (bet $100 to win $610)
Against the spread: Aces -12.5 (-110) | Mystics +12.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 173.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Mystics 83

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-1000) will set you back 10 times your potential return, which is a crazy amount of risk for a standalone wager. Even as part of a multi-leg or same-game parlay (SGP), there is just no value including such a heavy favorite. Over the long term it is a losing betting strategy.

PASS.

Against the spread

Take WASHINGTON +12.5 (-110) with the points in this home game at the cozy Entertainment & Sports Arena in D.C.

The Mystics have been on fire against the number, going 7-1 ATS in the past 8 games. They’re also an impressive 4-1 ATS in 5 games as double-digit underdogs this season, including a near-miss in a 94-91 OT home loss against the Connecticut Sun Thursday.

Las Vegas has won and covered a season-high 3 in a row, but it is just 2-4 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points this season.

Over/Under

OVER 173.5 (-110) is a solid play in Aces games, and it’s been a slam-dunk play lately when the Mystics are involved, too.

Las Vegas has scored 85 or more points in 6 of the past 7 games, while conceding at least 83 points in 6 of the past 7. The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces.

Washington has been a meal ticket for Over bettors lately, cashing in 5 straight, and 7 of the past 8 outings.

Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (7-11) and Seattle Storm (10-6) meet Thursday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 2-0

After a dismal 1-8 straight-up (SU) start, the Fever have started to piece things together. They’ve won 4 of the past 5 games, while covering the spread in all 5.

Indiana visited Seattle already this season, falling 85-83 May 22, but it was able to cover as 5.5-point underdog as the Over (167) cashed. The Storm also won in Indianapolis May 30, prevailing 103-88 as a 5.5-point favorite, again — with the Over (167.5) connecting.

Seattle G Jewell Loyd dropped 22 points, 6 assists and 2 triples in the May 30 win in Indianapolis. On the flip side, rookie Indiana G Caitlin Clark had 20 points with 9 assists and 3 treys, while F NaLyssa Smith posted 23 points and 10 boards. F Aliyah Boston also had a double-double, finishing with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Storm have lost 2 of the past 3 games, while also going 1-2 against the spread (ATS). However, at home, Seattle has won 5 in a row, while covering the past 4 games. The last non-cover at CPA came against the Fever May 22.

Fever at Storm odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:14 p.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Fever +350 (bet $100 to win $350) | Storm -480 (bet $480 to win $100)
Against the spread: Fever +9.5 (-110) | Storm -9.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 167.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 89, Fever 84

Moneyline

Seattle (-480) will cost nearly 5 times the potential return, which is way too risky. Indiana (+350) is playing with a lot more confidence than it was in the previous 2 installments, and the Fever nearly pulled off the road upset in their first visit to Climate Pledge Arena earlier in the season.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back INDIANA +9.5 (-110) as a solid underdog play in Seattle.

The Fever enter with a season-high 5 consecutive covers, while winning 4 of those games outright.

Seattle did rout Indiana at Gainbridge Fieldhouse by 15 points in the most recent meeting May 30, but at least the Fever have been playing much better since then. Clark, Boston, Smith and G Kelsey Mitchell are starting to jell nicely as a team.

Over/Under

OVER 167.5 (-110) is easily the best play on the board.

It’s been all about the Over for Indiana lately, cashing in 8 straight games, and 11 of the past 12 outings, including the most recent meeting with Indiana May 30.

The Storm dropped 103 points on the Fever in the most recent battle, and the Over has cashed in each of the 2 meetings to date. In fact, that 103-point outburst was a season high for Seattle. The Over has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 outings for the Storm, too.

Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (8-6) and Chicago Sky (6-9) meet Thursday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces went 5-0 vs. Sky last year — 3-0 in regular season and 2-0 in playoffs

The Aces picked up a pair of home wins prior to the Commissioner’s Cup title game break, building some confidence. Las Vegas topped the Seattle Storm 94-83 as a 6.5-point favorite as the Over (173) cashed June 19, before upending the Connecticut Sun 85-74 to cover as a 5-point favorite with the Under (165.5) hitting Friday.

Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson was good for 26 points and 16 rebounds in the win over the Sun. The South Carolina product leads the W in points (27.8) and rebounds (11.6) per game, while ranking 2nd in blocks (2.4) per game. She also averages 2.5 assists and 1.9 steals.

After a 1-4 straight-up (SU) skid, and 0-5 against the spread (ATS) drought, the Aces have won and covered back-to-back games for the first time since May 25-29.

The Sky nipped the Indiana Fever 88-87 Sunday in their most recent game. However, Chicago failed to cover as a 1.5-point home favorite with the Over (169.5) cashing. Rookie F Angel Reese scored a career-high 25 points to go along with 16 rebounds as the Sky rallied from a 15-point deficit late in the 3rd quarter. It was Reese’s 8th consecutive double-double, a WNBA rookie record. G Chennedy Carter chimed in with 23 points, 5 assists and 2 boards.

It was the 1st time since Chicago won back-to-back games since the 2nd and 3rd games of the season. But the Sky are just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games, and 2-7 ATS across the previous 9.

Over/Under (O/U): 170.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Aces at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Sky 85

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-590) will cost nearly 6 times the potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, either as a standalone bet or part of a multi-leg parlay.

Over the long term, betting such heavy favorites is a losing strategy, and therefore not recommended.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back CHICAGO +10 (-110) catching double digits at home, although know that it is likely going to be a close shave.

Las Vegas has looked more like itself lately, but it still is only coming off back-to-back wins and covers at home. On the road, the Aces are just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 tries. So, until they start ticking off covers on the road, fade them.

Also, as a double-digit favorite, Las Vegas is 1-4 ATS in 5 tries this season, while Chicago not only covered its only previous game as a double-digit underdog, but it also won outright 90-81 at the New York Liberty May 23.

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

Over/Under

OVER 170.5 (-112) might be the best play on the board.

The Aces offense managed 89.5 point per game (PPG) across their modest 2-game resurgence, and the Aces have scored 85 or more points in 5 of their past 6 outings. The Over is 4-2 in that 6-game span, too. In addition, Las Vegas has conceded 90 or more points in 4 of the past 6 games.

The Sky have cashed high on the total in 5 of the past 6 games, as the offense has also produced 80 or more points in 5 of the previous 6 outings. The defense is still rather giving, too, allowing 83 or more points in 5 of the previous 6 contests.

Commissioner’s Cup Final: 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 (13-3) and New York Liberty (15-3) meet Tuesday in the Commissioner’s Cup Final. Tip-off from UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., is slated for 8 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lynx vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Lynx lead 1-0

The Lynx head to Long Island on a roll, winning 6 consecutive games, while covering 4 of those outings. Minnesota has an impressive 12-4 against the spread (ATS) mark on the season. That includes an 84-67 home win May 25 vs. New York as a 7-point home underdog with the Under (167.5) cashing.

Minnesota shot 47.8% (32-of-67) from the field in the 1st meeting vs. New York, while going a blistering 50.0% (14-of-28) from behind the 3-point line. The Lynx have a plus-5 rebounding margin, and 8 more assists than the Liberty. F Napheesa Collier scored 15 points with 12 rebounds for the double-double, while adding 4 assists, 2 blocked shots and 2 steals.

New York has racked up 3 straight wins, while winning 11 of the past 12 outings. The Liberty have scored 90 or more points in each of the past 6 games, and the Over is 6-1 in the previous 7 contests.

This game won’t count in the regular-season standings with it being the Commissioner’s Cup Final.

Moneyline (ML): Lynx +186 (bet $100 to win $186) | Liberty -235 (bet $235 to win $100)

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Lynx at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 89, Lynx 86

Moneyline

New York (-235) will cost 2.35 times your potential return. That’s too much risk for not enough reward, at least as a standalone wager. As part of a Same-Game Parlay (SGP), playing the moneyline coupled with the total isn’t a bad play.

PASS as far as a straight-up bet is concerned.

Against the spread

Taking MINNESOTA +5 (-112) with the points is the way to go. These 2 teams are rolling with New York on a 3-game win streak and 11 of its last 12, while Minnesota enters on a 6-game win streak.

It’s hard to forget what happened exactly 1 calendar month ago when the Lynx embarrassed the Liberty 84-67 in the Twin Cities as 7-point underdogs.

Over/Under

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

While the Lynx defense has been amazing lately, allowing just 57.5 PPG in the past 2 games against the Phoenix Mercury and Atlanta Dream, the offense has been on fire. Minnesota has piled up 80 or more points in 8 of its past 10 outings.

For the Liberty, they’ve scored 90 or more points in 6 consecutive contests, while allowing at least 80 points in 5 of the past 6 outings. The total has gone high in 4 in a row, and 6 of the past 7 contests.

Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (7-10) and Chicago Sky (5-9) meet Sunday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-0

The Fever have started to piece things together after a 1-8 straight up (SU) start. Indiana has won and covered 4 straight, with the offense going for 88 or more points in each of those contests. The Over is on a 4-0 run as a result.

That win streak includes a 91-83 win over the Sky on June 16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, as the Fever covered a 2.5-point spread while the Over (168.5) connected.

Indiana shot a blistering 56.5% (35-of-62) in that most recent win over Chicago, while hitting 44.4% (8-of-18) from downtown. The free-throw shooting still needs work, as the Fever was just 68.4% (13-of-19) from the charity stripe.

Indiana had 11 blocked shots, though, including 5 from Aliyah Boston. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark had 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting, while posting 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 blocked shots with 3 triples.

Chicago’s Angel Reese had 11 points and 13 rebounds in a losing effort, while fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso also had a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds). Reese ripped down a career-high 18 rebounds in Thursday’s win over the Dallas Wings to set a WNBA rookie record.

Fever at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 87, Sky 84

Moneyline

Indiana (-118) hits the road as a favorite for this battle against Chicago (-104) after having won the 1st 2 installments of this budding rivalry. To be fair, both meetings were in Indianapolis.

The Fever put it on the Sky in the most recent meeting last Sunday afternoon, dropping 91 on Chicago, the most points an opponent has scored against the Sky this season.

Look for Clark and her Fever teammates to remain perfect on the season against the Sky. But PASS and bet the moneyline which offers a better price on the Fever.

Against the spread

Bet INDIANA -1 (-112) for all the above reasons at a slightly cheaper price than the moneyline.

Over/Under

OVER 169.5 (-110) is a decent play in this matinee game in Chitown, but be careful, as we could get a sluggish start before the offense picks up.

The 1st meeting saw a combined 141 points, and that defense came in a game Cardoso was still making her way back from a shoulder injury. The Over-Under is 1-1 in the 2 meetings, both in Indy, so far this season.

The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games for the Sky, while hitting in 4 straight for the Fever.

This is the highest total for Chicago this season. In 2 previous games with a total of 168.5, including the most recent game against Indiana, the Over hit both times.

As far as Indiana is concerned, in games with a total of 167 or higher, the Over is 7-1 in the past 8 tries.
