Sunday's Best WNBA Bets
Los Angeles Sparks at San Antonio Silver Stars (-6.5, 161.5)
Los Angeles has dropped seven of their last nine games, but San Antonio is falling at a more alarming rate. The Silver Stars have lost three consecutive games, going 0-3 against the spread in those contests and being outscored by an average margin of 18.3 ppg.
"Right now, I don't like the taste of this," San Antonio's Chamique Holdsclaw said. "We're all disappointed, but you know, like coach said, if we hang our heads, they will continue to hang for the next two or three games. We just have to shake this off and continue to move forward."
Friday’s home loss to Tulsa as 9.5-point favorites was an embarrassing one for the Silver Stars. Tulsa has been the punching bag of the league this season and rolled into that contest on a 12-game losing streak.
San Antonio’s defense has been suspect of late, allowing the Shock to shoot 53.6 percent from the field. Each of the Silver Stars’ last three opponents have shot better than 50 percent.
The home team has won and covered in the last four games of this series but this is too many points for San Antonio to be laying while performing so poorly. Sharps have already moved this spread down a point after opening at 7.5 and bettors should follow the steam.
Pick: Sparks
Indiana Fever at New York Liberty (+1.5, 145)
The Liberty are beginning to play well behind two straight victories but Indiana has their number.
New York has dropped six straight games against the best team in the league, going 1-5 at the wagering window in that stretch. Dating back to 2007, the Fever have won nine of 10 games in this series and gone 8-2 ATS during that timeframe.
Indiana comes into this matchup off a home win over Atlanta where it covered as 6.5-point favorites. The victory was a rebound effort after a head-scratching loss to Connecticut two nights earlier.
"I think we all felt a little bit better," Jessica Davenport said. "I think we're going to build on this and carry it over."
"Everybody sent a message that we are the defending Eastern Conference champions," Katie Douglas added.
There has been a reverse line movement in this contest. New York opened as a 1-point favorite but are now underdogs after money came flooding in on the Fever. The aforementioned trends are too strong to ignore and Indy should be able to cover the short number Sunday.
