Sky vs. Lynx Best Bets
The Sky and the Lynx have played twice this season and it’s been close both times. Although the Sky are at the top of the league, I’m going to be a bit cautious with this play and just take the moneyline. The Lynx have figured out a way to stay close with Chicago and I don’t want to mess around – even with this small spread.
Minnesota has won four of its last six games, including a win over the Aces. If they can stay competitive with them, I know they can do it against the Sky. – Donnavan Smoot
Pick: Sky ML vs. Lynx (-140)
Has Minnesota started to play to their potential, or simply gotten healthy? Either way, there may not be a team playing with more newfound confidence than the Lynx, especially after a blowout 102-71 home win vs. the Aces back on Sunday. Minnesota has now gone 7-1 ATS over their last eight games.
Chicago's (15-5) won five in a row, and while they're slight favorites on the road, to see the line this low against a 7-15 team feels like a strong indication that the books know something I don't. Chicago barely hung on in a 3-point win at home vs. Minnesota back on June 26, and in an early start game, I'm buying on the Lynx to get their revenge. – Ben Heisler
Pick: Lynx +2 vs. Sky (-110)
Mystics vs. Dream Best Bets
At nearly every point this season, I’ve faded the Dream. I just can’t get behind a one-dimensional, offensively challenged team. Both teams have great defenses, which means the Dream will have to find a way to score in the limited opportunities they’ll get. With the slow pace Washington plays at, I think they’ll put the clamps on Atlanta and eventually pull away. – Donnavan Smoot
Pick: Mystics -5.5 vs. Dream (-110)
A few sportsbooks like Caesars still have the total available at 156, and if you can find it, I highly recommend jumping on board.
The Dream have won two straight, including two strong victories at New York and vs. Seattle, but they're evolving into a more offensive team, and less of a strong defensive-oriented one.
Via Jim Turvey (@TurveyBets), over their last nine games, the Dream have given up an average of 87.3 points; a stark contrast to the 73.1 allowed in their first 12.
Meanwhile, Washington couldn't buy a bucket in their 74-72 overtime loss to Connecticut on the road last Sunday, but had also scored an average of 89.5 points in their previous two wins beforehand against the Dream and the Aces.
Washington and Atlanta rank No. 2 and 3 respectively in defensive rating, but I think those numbers are skewed, especially for Atlanta as of late. I expect to see more than 156 total points in this one. – Ben Heisler
Pick: Mystics/Dream OVER 157 (-110)
Liberty vs. Aces Best Bets
This is the toughest game of the night for me to handicap. The Aces are the best team in the league, but the Liberty have looked improved over the last few weeks. I don’t know if I trust the Aces to blow out New York tonight, so I’m looking at the total. At 169.5, both teams either need to have a great offensive game or one team would have to win by 30 and approach 100 points.
The Liberty’s offense still have one of the worst offenses in the league. They are last in points per game and 10th in offensive rating. I don’t expect a shootout on their end and I don’t want to bet on a 30-point blowout, so I’ll take the UNDER. – Donnavan Smoot
Donnavan and I are in agreement on this one as the opening total of 170 has creeped down to 169.5, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it continue to drop later on into the day.
Both teams are running out of gas heading into the All Star Break, and the Liberty are banged up as well.
Even with their improved play, the Liberty still rank 10th in the WNBA in offensive rating, and since the first of June, the Liberty are fifth in defensive rating.
New York shoots the most threes in the league, and Las Vegas tend to bounce back defensively following losses. If they go ice-cold, it could be over real soon.
While I'd also lean on the Aces to cover the 11, I find the under to be a bit safer. This game is a lean compared to the first two which are actual bets, but if I see more movement towards the under, I may jump on at 169. – Ben Heisler
Pick: Liberty/Aces UNDER 169.5 (-110)
