Golden State Valkyries.

Game 613.

5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.

There is no question the Minnesota Lynx are currently the best team in the WNBA. But remember folks, sports betting isn't about who wins, it is about who covers. Yes, they are also good against the spread. But the Golden State Valkyries are 11-5 ATS this season, covering seven of their last nine outings. They enter todays contest a little better rested, having not taken the court since June 29, as opposed to Minnesota, who played two games since, including a matchup just two nights ago. The Valkyries covered six of their last seven games played as an underdog. They are being undervalued for sure. I believe today's matchup is once again a mistake made by the oddsmakers. I feel Golden State is undervalued. Take the Valkyrie plus the points. Thank you.

Minnesota Lynx.

NO LIMIT.

Game 632.

5:00 PM PST/8:00PM EST.

While Indiana is scratching to stay at .500 (8-8), they have won six of their last 10 games straight up. But when it comes to facing Minnesota, most teams in the WNBA fall short. This includes the Fever. The Lynx took the two most recent meetings between these two teams, back in August and September of last season, each by 10-points. By the way, they covered both of those games as well. This season, Minnesota possesses the best overall record in the WNBA at 14-2, which includes a perfect home mark of 8-0. As a matter of fact, they have covered five straight contests at the Target Center. They own the league’s second-best scoring offense, and its best scoring defense. This is a team that could frustrate any opponent defensively, yielding just 74.2-points per game. Minnesota will get another win, and for us, another cover. Take the Lynx. Thank you.

I feel the oddsmakers are making mistake in the line in this matchup. Yes, Minnesota will once again be without their leading scorer, Napheesa Collier. But this team is stacked with talent. They also possess the WNBA’s top defense. They come off a loss. The last time they suffered a defeat they rattled off three consecutive wins and covers. Meanwhile Atlanta has failed to cover three straight, losing two of their last four outings. The Lynx have dominated this rivalry, taking five in a row, both straight up and against the spread. I feel making them an underdog is a mistake. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Minnesota Lynx.

Game 610.

5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.

With the best record in the WNBA at 11-1, the Minnesota Lynx are proving they are a very good basketball team. Sometimes losing a game makes you even better. They suffered their only defeat back on June 11. But have since gone 2-0, both straight up, and against the spread, covering numbers of 11.5, and 13.0. They covered numbers of 12.5, and 12.5 prior to the loss. They are on a mission to prove to everybody in the league they are the best team. They have taken nine of the last 10 meetings with Los Angeles, including wins and covers in both matchups this season, winning by 14-points in the mid-May, and by 23-points just seven days ago. Speaking of the Sparks, they have lost seven of their last 10, both straight up, and against the spread, being crushed in most of their contests. They are being outscored by 5.2 PPG, and have one of the worst defenses in the league. They are allowing a whopping 94.2 PPG. I just don't see them keeping pace on the scoreboard in this matchup. Lay the points with Minnesota. Thank you.

Phoenix Mercury.

Game 607.

10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST.

Normally, I don't like to lay big numbers on the road in any sport. But there's something very different about the WNBA. Trust me when I tell you, Phoenix is no stranger laying big numbers, whether they are at home or on the road. They have taken four in a row over Chicago straight up, covering three of the four. Granted, this is a bigger number than they normally lay. But they enter this matchup today on fire, winning their last four games straight up, covering three of the four, which does include SU wins in all three road games and covers int wo of the three games played on the road during that span. Meanwhile Chicago is a trainwreck. They are just 1-3 overall at home this season SU, and enter today's game losing four of their five, both straight up, and against the spread. It doesn't matter the number, this team just can't cover. They have problems scoring to begin with, ranking 12th in the league in scoring, and playing one of the most frustrating defenses in the WNBA, is going to prove to be fatal. Take the Mercury. Thank you.

Indiana Fever.

HI ROLLER.

Game 621.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

Indiana is proving they can win without Caitlin Clark on the floor. They enter this matchup winning back-to-back games at home against Washington, and on the road against Chicago. They have faced Atlanta twice this season, once at home, and once on the road, and have taken both meetings straight up, the earlier by one-point, and the later, by five-points. Speaking of the Dream, they come off their first loss following a four-game win and cover streak, in which they were embarrassed on the road at the Sun, 84-76, as an 11.0-point favorite. I don't see them in bounce back mode here. I do see the Fever, who seem to have the Dream’s number, competing, and keeping this game a lot closer than the pointspread. Taking Indiana. Thank you.

Phoenix Mercury

Game 629.

5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.

It's true, the Minnesota Lynx are only one of two undefeated teams in the WNBA this season. However, they are pointspread poison, being overvalued by oddsmakers. Minnesota has failed to cover five consecutive games. As a matter of fact, they have yet to cover a game as a double-digit favorite. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Mercury are a darn good team sitting in second place in the Western Conference at 5-2, two-games behind the Lynx. This is a team that has covered three of their last four games, and did cover the five-point spread against Minnesota on May 30 at home. I just don't feel being at the Target Center warrants the Lynx to be 11.5-point favorites. Way too many points. Take the Mercury. Thank you.

Washington Mystics.

Game 627.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

Without Caitlin Clark on the floor, the Indiana Fever lose an enormous amount of their firepower. The last two games in which they were favored in both, they lost by six and two-points to lesser opponents. One of those teams was the Washington Mystics. The Fever have had their way in this rivalry, taking three straight going back to July of last year. This offers the Mystics a huge revenge factor as well. Take Washington plus the points. Thank you.

Game 634.

7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST.

This off-season saw more changes to WNBA rosters than in any I can remember. But one thing doesn't change for me, and that is riding a good team, and fading a bad one. Phoenix enters this matchup winning three of four this season, while Chicago has yet to earn a victory, going 0-3. As a matter of fact, the Sky have lost eight straight games going back to a season ago. They have also failed to cover eight consecutive contests. To make matters worse, the Mercury have had their number, winning and covering the three most recent meetings by 20, 18, and five-points. Take the Phoenix. Thank you.

Seattle Storm.

Bookie Buster play.

Game 629.

5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.

I know it's very early in the WNBA regular season, but both the Seattle Storm and the Minnesota Lynx are looking like solid representatives. Seattle enters this matchup winning and covering three straight, and did take the last matchup with Minnesota 10 months ago at home, 91-63. While the Lynx are a good team, they have yet to cover a game played at the Target Center. To be quite honest they have failed to impress me in the last two outings, eking by with a four-point win over the Wings and a six-point win over the Sun, which both have yet to win a game this season, combining for an 0-8 record. I just feel this is way too many points. Take this Storm. Thank you.

The Dallas Wings are on pace to be one of the worst teams in the WNBA again this season. While the Atlanta Dream has just one victory so far, they did play some tough teams, and certainly don't want to be the first team to lose to an opponent that has not won a contest since August of last year. At home at the Gateway Center in front of their fans, the Dream will crush the Wings. Take Atlanta. Thank you.

New York has had their way with Indiana, taking nine of the last 10 meetings straight up, and covering seven of those 10 meetings. The Liberty enter this matchup un defeated, going 2-0 straight up, and have also covered both games this season thus far. The Fever have talent, no doubt about that. But they're not deep enough to compete in this matchup. Take New York. Thank you.

Game 641.

New York has an opportunity to close out this series on Friday, and get a little bit of rest before the WNBA Finals. They have had their way with Las Vegas this season, taking all five meetings in this series straight up, including both games played in Vegas. Not only that, but the Liberty are also 9-1 ATS their last 10 games played on the road. They are money in this role. Giving them points here is a huge mistake by the oddsmakers. While the Aces are a very good team, they just aren't the same squad they were the last two seasons. Take New York. Thank you.

Connecticut Sun.

Game 2 Winner.

Game 637.

6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST.

 Twice over the last five years, the Connecticut Sun have made it to the WNBA Finals, and both times have fallen short. This is their opportunity to rectify themselves. They enter this matchup with authority, knowing they have dominated the Minnesota Lynx, taking seven of the last nine meetings, which does include three of four this season. Going back to September of last season, the Sun have taken four consecutive meetings on the road at the Lynx. Giving them points here is a mistake. Take Connecticut. Thank you.

New York Liberty.

Game 2 Winner.

Game 636.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

These teams ran through their opponents in the first round. So far in this round of the semifinals, the Liberty is up 1-0. New York took Game 1 of this best-of-five series at home on Sunday, 87-77. That marked the fourth victory straight up of the four meetings this season with Las Vegas. By the way, they have covered three of the four meetings. Expect a little payback here from last season’s Championship series loss at the hands of the Aces. I think we can all agree, while Las Vegas is a very good team, they're just not the same team they were the last two seasons when they prevailed in both. Take New York. Thank you.

Connecticut Sun.

Game 614.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

Another win and the Connecticut Sun can get a little bit of rest before their next series. They took Game 1 of this series with authority, 93-69. Going back a few seasons, they have dominated the Indiana Fever, winning nine of the last 10 meetings straight up, covering six of those meetings. This season they not only have won each contest at home against the Fever, they have covered all three as well, winning by 21, 17, and 24 points. With all respect to Caitlin Clark and the team, their lack of leadership is evident as they have dropped five of their last seven games SU, covering only once since September 1 (1-8 ATS run). Both teams can score, my friends. But the difference in this matchup is on the defensive side of the court. Connecticut and their frustrating "D" has been much more effective this season than the 11th ranked defense of Indiana. Take the Sun. Thank you.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

Washington enters this matchup running hot, winning six of their last eight straight up, and eight of the last nine against the spread. This does include wins and covers in five consecutive road games. On the other hand, Atlanta is ice cold, dropping seven of their last nine straight up, and only covering four of those nine games. Always stay with a hot team. Take the Mystics. Thank you.

They enter this contest with confidence, knowing they have dominated the Fever, taking 10 consecutive matchups in this rivalry, going back to 2021. This does include wins and covers in all three meetings this season. Indiana has dropped two of the last three straight up, and four in a row against the number. Take Las Vegas. Thank you

With only four games left in their regular season, the Minnesota Lynx sit 4.0-games ahead in the Western Conference. They want nothing more than to coast through the last few games and go into the postseason rested. With a win tonight, they can do just that. They have their way with the Atlanta Dream this season, winning and covering all three meetings. Going back to last season, they are 4-0 in this rivalry both SU and ATS. They enter this matchup one of the hottest teams in the League, winning nine of their last 10 straight up, covering seven of those 10 contests. They know all too well with a win here they can coast through the last few regular season games and go into the postseason. Minnesota. Thank you.

Los Angeles Sparks.

Fast Break play.

Game 609.

4;00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

Just by looking at the records, we can see the Sparks aren't the greatest team in the world. As a matter of fact, they possess the WNBA’s poorest record at 7-25. But one thing they do, is play the Fever very tough. These two teams split two matchups this season, both straight up and against the spread. Indiana took the first game in Los Angeles, 78-73. Los Angeles took the second game in Indiana, 88-82. Funny thing about this matchup, this is the highest pointspread the Fever have been this season. Meanwhile, the Sparks are 10-3 ATS in 2024 as a double-digit underdog. Interesting side note here: Indiana has the Minnesota Lynx up next, which happen to be the Western Division’s top team…maybe overlooking tonight’s opponent a bit. This is just way too many points. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Connecticut Sun.

Crusher.

Game 602.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

With only eight games remaining in the regular season, the Connecticut Sun are definitely going to make the playoffs. However, they sit just 2.5-games back of the New York Liberty in the Eastern Conference. They certainly don't want to be a bridesmaid, therefore will go all out in each of the remaining contests. They have taken seven of the last eight meetings over the Seattle Storm straight up, covering six of those eight. The Storm, have failed to cover nine consecutive games overall. To make matters worse for those bettors who support them, they have failed to cover seven consecutive games played as a visitor. They are pointspread poison, to say the least.  Going into the Mohegan Sun Arena and taking on the red-hot, talented Connecticut opponent here, which happen to be one of the best home teams in the WNBA, will be fatal for this team. Take the Sun. Thank you.

Game 622.

10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST.

The line is way off here. I believe the oddsmakers are stressing the fact the Sun are playing their second of back-to-back nights. However, the only other time they did that this season was a week ago after beating Chicago at home, they traveled the next night to New York and took down the Liberty outright, 72-64, as a 7.5-point underdog. By the way, the Storm have not covered a single game since July 12, going eight consecutive outings without an ATS cover. Take Connecticut. Thank you.

With all respect to the Las Vegas Aces, they just don't cover. They are currently riding a nine-game ATS no cover Streak. Not only are they not covering, they're not covering big numbers. They have failed to cover four straight as a double-digit fav, and six straight of 9.5 or more points. Throw into the mix, the Atlanta Dream are 6-2-2 ATS in 2024, and have covered three straight in this rivalry, and it compels us to take the dog here. Take the Dream. Thank you.

The New York Liberty doesn’t drop too many games. And they haven't dropped back-to-back games since the third week of May. They have taken the Seattle Storm down five consecutive meetings. Now, the Storm have covered four of those five, including the only matchup this season. But (and there is a very big but here), but they were always favored by at least 10.0 points per game in those matchups. Their average margin of victory during those last five wins were 8.4-points per game. Sitting just behind the Liberty in the Eastern Conference, 3.0-games back is the Connecticut Sun. I doubt very much New York is going to let them gain any ground in the Conference. Take the Liberty. Thank you.

 We've seen it before, and I'm sure we will see it again. Yes, I am talking about the defending League Champions in any sport coming back the following season and failing to come out of the gate with authority. The Las Vegas Aces are a very talented team. However, they are just 6-5 this season, sitting in third-place in the Western Conference, possessing the overall fifth-best record in the WNBA. Meanwhile, the New York Liberty are playing amazing basketball, owning the WNBA’s second-best overall record at 11-2.  The Aces have certainly gotten the better of the Liberty over recent seasons. But I think we can all agree, this is a very different season, for sure. New York enters this matchup red-hot, winning seven consecutive games straight up. They have also covered four of their last five overall games. Meanwhile, Las Vegas has dropped four of their last six SU, and five of those six against the number. I believe they are being overvalued here again at home. Both teams can score points offensively, for sure. But at both ends of the court on the boards New York is significantly stronger, and possess a swarming and truly frustrating defense. They will swarm and certainly frustrate Las Vegas here. I feel they will win outright. But I will take the points. Take the Liberty. Thank you.

 This is truly a huge mismatch, my friends. The Connecticut Sun possess the League’s best overall record at 11-1, which does include a perfect, 4-0 away mark. The Dallas Wings own one of the worst records, at 3-8, and are just 1-4 at home this season. But the disparities don't end there. The Sun have taken four of the last six meetings overall straight up. And I feel this line is a little bit short. Connecticut been hot since the season began. However, as far as covering games, they're starting to heat up there as well, going 5-2 ATS their last seven outings. Dallas is not only riding a six-game straight up slide; they have also failed to cover five consecutive contests. Yes, it is true, statistically the Wings account for 1.5 points per game more offensively. But they won't have the same success here against the WNBA's stingiest, toughest, and most frustrating, No. 1 ranked scoring defense (71.1 PPG allowed). It will be their “D” that will get them the win and the cover. Take Connecticut. Thank you.

Game 603.

7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST.

My friends, being a resident of Las Vegas for over 34 years, I am a fan for everything Vegas has to offer. Of course, that includes the Las Vegas Aces. The back-to-back defending WNBA Champions are a very good team. However, I think we can all agree they are just not the same team they were the last two seasons, at least at this point. They currently sit in third place in the Western Conference, possessing the sixth best overall record in the League, at 5-4. To make matters worse, the oddsmakers are still overvaluing them as they are just 3-6 against the spread this season. Yes, it's true they have won and covered the last five meetings with the Minnesota Lynx. That does include an 80-66 beat down back in the last few days of May on the road.  However, since then Minny has started to heat up. They won four of five, both straight up and against the number. As a matter fact, this is the best team in the WNBA currently at covering the number, going 9-2 ATS this season. They possess the League’s second stingiest defense, allowing a mere, 75.1 points per game. They also rank No. 1 defensively in both field goal percentage allowed and three-point percentage allowed. Meanwhile offensively, they top the WNBA in both of those categories. While the Aces can certainly score, their defense leaves a lot to be desired. And I think that they're just not in sync yet. This is going to be a very big number for them to win outright, let alone cover. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Don't look now, but Minnesota has taken over the top spot in the West, leading the Conference at 7-2. They are equally good on the road as they are at home. They face an opponent here today in Phoenix, that has done a little bit better at home than on the road. But is severely outclassed in this matchup. To say the Lynx have had their way with the Phoenix, would be another statement. They have taken nine of the last 10 meetings, both straight up and against the spread. This does include the only matchup this season about a week ago at home, 95-71. As far as sports betting goes, Minnesota has been money, covering eight of their nine outings thus far in the 2024 regular season. I don't expect a different outcome here as in the first meeting. Minnesota possesses one of the top scoring offenses in the League, topping the WNBA in both field-goal percentage and three-point percentage. This is where the game will be won. Take the Lynx. Thank you.

Don't look now, but the Lynx have taken control of the Western Conference, sitting in first place with a record of 6-2. On the other hand, the Sparks own the worst record in the West, at 2-6. To say Minnesota has had their way with Los Angeles, would be an understatement. They've taken nine of the last 10 matchups straight up, including five consecutive games. And as a matter of fact, every game they have won over the last 10 meetings, they have also covered. This is the first meeting between these two Conference rivals this season. The Lynx come in here playing some great basketball, while the Sparks just continue to disappoint. As far as sports betting is concerned, Minnesota has covered seven of eight contests this season, while Los Angeles has only covered two of eight outings in 2024. Every way you look at this, the visitor outclasses the home team here. The only bright spot for the Sparks is their three-point shooting. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves because the Lynx possess the second-ranked three-point shooting defense in the WNBA. Take the visitor. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

My friends, living in Las Vegas for over 34 years, I am an advocate for everything Vegas. I feel Las Vegas will once again vie for the WNBA title. However, the oddsmakers know the general public likes to bet them and they're inflating the number on their games so far during this regular season. Yes, the team is 2-0 this season straight up. But they have failed to cover both outings. Meanwhile going back to last season, Phoenix has now covered three straight games, which does include both of their contest played this season. This is a team that finished dead last in the Western Conference a season ago. They've come out at the start of this season and have played very competitively against better opposition. I just feel this is way too many points to give this team. Take the Mercury. Thank you.

This is a scrappy team and I feel they come in here with confidence knowing they've dominated the Dream. Take the Wings. Thank you.
