New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever Odds & Predictions
Start time:'12 p.m. ET
Venue:'Gainbridge Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, IN
Broadcast:'NBA TV
Moneyline:'NY: (-650) | IND: (+440)
Spread:'NY: -10.5 (-110) | IND: +10.5 (-110)
Over/Under:'167.5 – Over (-110) | Under (-110)
The Liberty check in atop the Eastern Conference with a dazzling 13-4 record and enter Wednesday as winners in seven of their last eight games. They have a great chance to keep the momentum rolling against a Fever squad that has lost seven straight games and is dead last in the standings.
The biggest difference between these teams comes from beyond the arc. New York leads the WNBA with 10.4 mad e three-pointers per contest while Indiana ranks last with an average of only 6.2. Look for the Liberty to build a big enough lead to cruise to a victory thanks to its efficiency from deep.
With that being said, look for Breanna Stewart to shine once again. The 28-year-old has drained at least a pair of three-pointers in four of her last five games and now gets to face a defense that is allowing an opponent three-point percentage of 36.3% (No. 10 in WNBA). Talk about a mismatch.
Score prediction:'Liberty 89 – Fever 80
Best bet:'Breanna Stewart Over 1.5 Made Threes (-113)
Connecticut Sun vs Chica go Sky Odds & Predictions
Start time:'12 p.m. ET
Venue:'Wintrust Arena – Chicago, IL
Broadcast:'WNBA League Pass
Moneyline:'CONN: (-184) | CHI: (+148)
Spread:'CONN: -4.5 (-112) | CHI: +4.5 (-108)
Over/Under:'160.5 – Over (-110) | Under (-110)
The Chicago Sky (8-11) are fighting to return to the .500 mark but are tasked with a tough matchup against the Connecticut Sun (14-5). The Sun have been one of the best defensive teams in the WNBA as they lead in opponent turnovers per game (15.2) and opponent three-point percentage (30.2%).
That does not bode well for a Chicago squad that ranks 11th in points per game (78.0) to begin with. The Sky have been held to under 80 points in five of their last eight games, which obviously hurts their chances to compete. There's little reason to think that trend changes on Wednesday afternoon.
Score prediction:'Sun 81 – Sky 74
Best bet:'Chicago Sky Under 78.5 Points (-110)
Dallas Wings vs Minnesota Lynx Odds & Predictions
Start time:'1 p.m. ET
Venue:'Target Center – Minneapolis, MN
Broadcast:< /strong>'Twitter
Moneyline:'DAL: (-120) | MIN: (-102)
Spread:'DAL: -1.5 (-106) | MIN: +1.5 (-114)
Over/Under:'167.5 – Over (-110) | Under (-110)
The Dallas Wings (10-9) and Minnesota Lynx (9-10) currently stand second and third in the Western Conference, making this showdown one that has immense value. These teams haven't met head-to-head on the court since May 30, which is when the Lynx came out on top by a final score of 94-89.
This game could truly go either way, but I find myself leaning toward backing the home team. The Lynx thrive when it comes to playing aggressively without committing fouls as they rank second in opponent free throws per game (16.0). The Wings rank 10th in that sam e category (21.6 per game).
Score prediction:'Wings 83 – Lynx 86
Best bet:'Minnesota Lynx ML (-102)
Seattle Storm vs Atlanta Dream Odds & Predictions
Start time:'7 p.m. ET
Venue:'Gateway Center – College Park, GA
Broadcast:'WNBA League Pass
Moneyline:'SEA: (+290) | ATL: (-385)
Spread:'SEA: +8.5 (-118) | ATL: -8.5 (-104)
Over/Under:'170.5 – Over (-110) | Under (-110)
Absolutely nothing has gone right for the Seattle Storm (4-15) this WNBA season. They have now lost eight of their last nine games and lack consistency on both ends of the court. Head coach Noelle Quinn's team ranks last in field goal percentage (39.8%) and 11th in opponent points per game (86.4).
On the other side, the Atlanta Dream (10-8) are riding a five-game winning streak right now and four of those five wins have come by a double-digit margin. Something seems to have clicked for the Dream as they continue to rise in the Eastern Conference. Back that momentum while it still exists.
Score prediction:'Storm 80 – Dream 93
Best bet:'Atlanta Dream -8.5 (-104)
Las Vegas Aces vs Los Angeles Sparks Odds & Predictions
Start time:'10 p.m. ET
Venue:'Crypto.com Arena – Los Angeles, CA
Broadcast:'CBSSN
Moneyline:'LV: (-1400) | LA: (+760)
Spread:'LV: -12.5 (-110) | LA: +12.5 (-110)
Over/Under:'169.5 – Over (-110) | Under (-110)
To say the Las Vegas Aces have been dominating the WNBA landscape is putting it lightly. The team leads in almost every offensive and defensive statistical category while posting a great 18-2 record. Head coach Beck Hammon's squad is averaging 15 .1 more points scored than allowed this year.
There's always a chance for an upset, but the Los Angeles Sparks (7-12) have lost each of their last five games and the average margin of defeat during that span is by 14.0 points. This is a team that is heading in the wrong direction and now runs into a team firing on all cylinders. Expect a blowout.
As for the best bet here, focus on A'ja Wilson's scoring output. The former South Carolina standout torched the Sparks for 23 points in the first matchup between these teams back in May and has scored at least 20 points in six of her last nine games overall. She is a force to be reckoned with.
Score pre diction:'Aces 93 – Sparks 77
Best bet:'A'ja Wilson Over 19.5 Points (-108)
