Against the spread (ATS)

LYNX +3.5 (-115) is the play, as they have owned the Mercury over the years.

Minnesota is a blazing 10-1 ATS in its past 11 visits to the Valley of the Sun, and 34-16-2 ATS in the past 52 head-to-head meetings. Play Minnesota, mostly due to its dominance in this series, but also Phoenix’s struggles at home this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 162.5 (-105) connected in the mid-week battle, and the Under is now 16-5-1 in the past 22 meetings between these teams in the desert.

The Under is 8-3-1 in the past 12 home games for Phoenix, too.

Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA picks, tips and predictions.

The Connecticut Sun (12-5) play the second game of a two-game set against the Indiana Fever (1-16) Saturday. Tip-off at Indiana Farmers Coliseum is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Sun vs. Fever odds and lines, with WNBA picks and predictions.

The Sun posted an 86-80 win in the front end of this two-game set, but had to work for the victory right to the bitter end, and they never came close to covering a 15-point spread. That snapped a 3-0 against the spread win streak.

The Fever had one of its most complete efforts of the season, albeit in a loss, Thursday against the Sun. They covered the 15-point spread, and improved to 3-1 ATS across the past four outings.

Sun at Fever: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Sun 80, Fever 71

Money line (ML)

The Sun (-1000) are heavily favored yet again despite their narrow win in the front end of the two-game set. You cannot risk huge money for such little return.

AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

The FEVER +14.5 (-110) were able to keep the margin of victory for the Sun to single digits Thursday night and can be backed to keep it close once again Saturday.

As a favorite of 8 or more points, Connecticut is just 1-2 ATS this season. On the flip side, Indiana is 3-1 ATS across its past four games, and 5-2 ATS as an underdog of 9.5 or more points in the previous seven.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 155.5 (-110) is the play despite an Over result in the front end of the set. The 80-point outburst for Indiana Thursday was its highest-scoring effort since May 23, and it had scored 70 or fewer points in three of its previous four games entering Thursday.

The Fever are disjointed on offense, and you can expect a lower scoring game Saturday.

Washington Mystics at New York Liberty odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Washington Mystics at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA picks, tips and predictions.

The Washington Mystics (7-9) travel to meet the New York Liberty (8-9) Saturday. Tip-off at Barclays Center in Brooklyn is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Mystics vs. Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA picks and predictions.

The Mystics look to snap an 0-3 skid both straight up and against the spread. C Tina Charles travels to New York for the first time since being traded by the Liberty in April. She tuned up the Lib for 34 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and a blocked shot in a 101-72 win in D.C. May 21.

The Liberty are coming off a road split against the Atlanta Dream, falling 73-69 in the two-game finale June 29. New York is just 1-3 SU/ATS across its last four outings. It also dropped four in a row at home, last winning and covering in Brooklyn May 24 against Dallas.

Mystics at Liberty: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Mystics 83, Liberty 79

Money line (ML)

The MYSTICS (+105) are a solid value on the road, as they look to continue the woes of the Liberty on their home floor.

Charles played with a chip on her shoulder last time she faced New York in the nation’s capital. You can bet she will play with a little extra incentive back in the Big Apple for the first time.

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

Against the spread (ATS)

MYSTICS +1.5 (-105) are a good play against a Liberty team which is just 3-8 SU and ATS across their past 11 games.

Washington has been quite erratic lately, following up a three-game win streak with a three-game losing skid. The Mystics are also a respectable 5-4 SU/4-5 ATS across their past nine.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 163.5 (-115) has been the rule for Washington lately.

The Over is 3-1 across the past four for the Mystics, and 11-3 across their last 14, including their May 21 win over the Liberty.

New York is 4-1 on the Under across its past five games, but the edge is to the Over in seven home games this season at 4-3.

Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA picks, tips and predictions.

The Connecticut Sun (11-5) travel to meet the Indiana Fever (1-15) Thursday. Tip-off at Indiana Farmers Coliseum is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Sun vs. Fever odds and lines, with WNBA picks and predictions.

The Sun enter on a three-game win streak, which is tied for the longest active streak in the league. Connecticut is just one game back of the first-place Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm (12-4).

The Fever are the worst team in the league with just one victory. They have dropped 11 straight and are already 11 games out of first place, and 5.5 games behind the next nearest teams: the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks.

Sun at Fever: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Sun 85, Fever 66

Money line (ML)

The Sun (-1100) are heavily favored to push past the scuffling Fever, but you cannot lay 11 times your potential return, or risk $100 for a mere $9.09 in profit.

AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

SUN -15.5 (-105) is a little steep for a road favorite, but it’s worth it in this instance. The Fever have been downright brutal this season, and they’re on an 11-game skid during which they’ve covered the spread just four times.

Yes, Indiana covered a similar 16-point number against first-place Seattle June 17, but it’s just 3-4 ATS as a double-digit underdog. Connecticut drilled Indiana 88-67 in the first meeting of the season May 19.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 155.5 (-110) is the lean here, ever so slightly. The Sun rack up points, but the Fever struggle to generate much in the way of offense. Indiana is on a 4-0 Under run, averaging just 70.0 points per game during the span.

The Under also cashed in the first head-to-head meeting in Connecticut.
