WNBA Betting Picks

San Antonio at Connecticut: The Sun are -14 with a total of 161.5, while I have Connecticut winning 87-76. Defensively, the two teams are pretty close to even, while the Sun have a huge edge offensively. San Antonio is 8-1 ATS on the road this season and is coming off a win against Indiana. It was just the second win of the season for the Stars, who just happened to be at Connecticut the game after picking up their first win and were thumped 89-56. The Sun have a much-more meaningful game at New York on tap, but are coming off a loss to Los Angeles. The Stars are 5-2-1 as a double-digit underdog this season, so I’ll follow the numbers and take San Antonio plus the points for today’s play.
Washington at New York: The Mystics are a little banged up, as Elena Della Donne sprained an ankle and was just able to play 3.5 minutes in the team’s last game and Tayler Hill also saw limited time. Both players are listed as questionable for today’s game. Washington snapped a three-game losing streak last time out, but are still just 4-6 on the road. New York has dropped two straight, shooting less than 36% in both games. A little too much uncertainty for my liking in this one, where New York is -2 and the total is 156.5, while I have the Mystics 83-77.
Chicago at Dallas: A quick revenge spot for Dallas, who lost to Chicago on Wednesday by a score of 90-84, as the Sky have now won three straight. Dallas has lost three of its last four and has a game with Minnesota up next, so they should be focused on this one. The Wings are favored by 7 with a total of 173 and I have Chicago winning 86-85.
Phoenix at Minnesota: The Mercury will be without Brittany Griner and the Lynx just thumped Phoenix 88-71 last game, so it’s no surprise to see Minnesota favored by 14.5. The total is 164 and I have Minnesota winning 90-80, but that doesn’t take into consideration to loss of the Mercury’s leading scorer and rebounder. Minnesota is just 2-5 as a home favorite.
