W Bets: Betting on the Storm or Sun to cover spread is no sure thing, but Sue Bird’s assists and Alyssa Thomas’ rebounds are worth your money

Money on the home favorites?

The second day of the WNBA playoffs has arrived.

Day 1 featured a stunning, late-game rally from the New York Liberty to  upset the No. 2 seed defending champion Chicago Sky at home. And out West, the Aces struggled mightily with the pesky Phoenix Mercury before finally pulling away late.

What will the second day of playoff basketball bring? Can the road underdog No. 5 Washington Mystics and No. 6 Dallas Wings, take a page out of the Liberty’s book and steal Game 1? Or if not, will they keep it close enough to cover the spreads?

We take a look at some of the bets to make ahead of Thursday’s action, including game lines and player props.
