WNBA Prediction: Minnesota Lynx at Washington Mystics
By Nick Lagouretos
Bangthebook.com
A duel between the two best teams currently in the WNBA takes place tonight at the Verizon Center of the nation’s capital, when the Washington Mystics (6-2) who currently sit on the first place of the Eastern Conference and the second place of the whole league, are hosting last season’s finalists and only undefeated team so far, the Minnesota Lynx (7-0).
Washington Mystics have a 6-2 record so far in the league and they are coming off five consecutive wins. In their last game on Tuesday, they won on the road against Dallas Wings with an 89-101 score. Elena Delle Donne leads the team in scoring with 20.6 ppg, adding team highs both in rebounds, with 7.3 per game and in blocks, with 1.6 per game. She is followed by Tayler Hill with 15.1 ppg and a team high 3.7 assists per game, while Kristi Toliver adds 10.6 ppg and 2.9 apg.
Minnesota Lynx have a league-best 7-0 record so far and in their last game on Saturday, they won on the road against the Seattle Storm with a 77-100 score. Sylvia Fowles leads the team in scoring with 20.9 ppg, adding team highs in rebounds with 10.1 per game, steals with 2.1 per game and blocks, with 2.3 per game. She is followed by Seimone Augustus with 12.3 ppg and 4 rpg, while Maya Moore adds 12.3 ppg as well and 6.6 rpg.
Last season Minnesota led Washington 2-1 wins. Washington are perfect at home so far this season with 4-0 wins, while Minnesota are also perfect on the road with 4-0 wins. Both teams are almost equal offensively, being the second-best (Mystics with 84.5 ppg) and third-best (Lynx with 84.4 ppg) in the league, while Lynx have the best defense in the league, allowing 72.6 ppg to Mystics’ 79.6. Lynx also have better percentages both in FG’s, shooting with a third-best of 45.6% to Mystics’ 41.1%, and in 3-pointers (33.6% to 33%). Washington are better in rebounding, grabbing a second-best 37.6 per game to Minnesota’s 36. It is going to be a close game but expect a Washington win or narrow loss by less than 4.
Prediction: Washington Mystics +4
WNBA Prediction: Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever
By Nick Lagouretos

Two teams from different conferences and in opposite trajectories so far in the WNBA season are clashing tonight, when the struggling Indiana Fever (3-5) are hosting one of the best and hottest teams currently in the league, the Seattle Storm (5-2).
Indiana Fever have a 3-5 record so far this season (2-5-1 ATS) and they have lost three of their last four matches. In their last game on Wednesday, they lost at home in overtime against the Phoenix Mercury with a 90-98 score. Candice Dupree leads the team in scoring with 14.9 ppg, adding a team high 5.6 rebounds per game. She is followed by Tiffany Mitchell with 12.1 ppg, while Shenise Johnson adds 10.3 ppg. Briann January adds 8.9 ppg and a team high 3.1 assists per game.
Seattle Storm have a 5-2 record so far this season (4-2-1 ATS) and currently sit on the second place of the West and in the third of the whole league. They have won five of their last six matches and in their last game on Tuesday, they won on the road against the San Antonio Stars with an 85-76 score. Jewell Loyd leads the team in scoring with 18.1 ppg, followed by Breanna Stewart with 14.8 ppg and a team high 7.8 rebounds per game. Crystal Langhorne adds 14 ppg and 5.4 rpg.
This will be the third matchup between these two teams so far this season, with Seattle having won both games (both at home). Last season Indiana led 2-1 wins. Indiana are 3-1 at home so far this season, while Seattle are 1-1 on the road. Seattle are better both offensively, scoring 82.7 ppg to Indiana’s 78.9, and defensively, allowing 79.7 ppg to Indiana’s league-low of 88.4. Seattle have the best FG percentage in the league (49% to 43.4%), and the third-best 3-point percentage, shooting with 38.2% to Indiana’s third-worse of 30.3. Both teams are among the worse in the league in rebounding, with Seattle being third-worse (29.1) and Indiana second-worse (28). Seattle are superior this season and expect them to win easier than 3 points on the road tonight.
Prediction: Seattle Storm -3
WNBA Prediction: Los Angeles Sparks at Dallas Wings
By Nick Lagouretos
Bangthebook.com
Two Western Conference teams on opposite sides of the league table are clashing tonight, when the struggling Dallas Wings (3-5) who are sitting in the second to last place of the West, are hosting the defending champions Los Angeles Sparks (4-2) who are sitting in the second.
Dallas Wings have a 3-5 record so far this season (4-4 ATS) and are coming from three consecutive losses. In their last game on Tuesday, they lost at home against the Washington Mystics with an 89-101 score. Skylar Diggins-Smith leads the team in scoring with 15.8 ppg, adding a team high 5.5 assists per game. She is followed by Karima Christmas-Kelly with 12.5 ppg and 4.5 rpg, while Allisha Gray adds 12.5 ppg as well and 4.9 rpg.
Los Angeles Sparks have a 4-2 record so far this season (3-3 ATS) and are coming from two consecutive wins. In their last game on Tuesday, they won at home against the Chicago Sky with a 79-70 score. Nneka Ogwumike leads the team in scoring with 21.2 ppg and 6 rpg, followed by Candace Parker with 15 ppg and team highs both in rebounds, with 8.4 per game and assists, with 4.6 per game. Chelsea Gray adds 14 ppg and 4.3 assists.
Last season Los Angeles led Dallas 3-0 wins. Dallas have a negative home record so far in the league with 1-2 record (6-11 last season), while Los Angeles also have a 1-2 road record so far (12-5 last season). Los Angeles have the best offense in the league with 84.8 ppg to Dallas’ 83.2, and they are also better defensively, allowing 78.3 ppg to Dallas’ second-worse of 85.4. Los Angeles have the second-best percentage both in field goals, shooting with 46.9% to Dallas’ 41.9% and in 3-pointers with 41.1% to Dallas’ second-worse of 27.9%. On the other hand, Sparks are the worse team in the league in rebounding, grabbing 27.8 to Dallas’ 34.6. Sparks have not yet found their footing on the road, so expect a much closer game than 7 points. I am going to pick Dallas in this one.
Prediction: Dallas Wings +7
