Tonight's two-game WNBA slate features several of the best players in the league. Between the traditional betting lines for each game and player props, there are plenty of markets for gamblers to choose from. However, only a select few will make our WNBA best bets list. Here’s our top WNBA picks for Liberty vs. Sky.
I'll be using FanDuel Sportsbook for the odds for each of my WNBA best bets, but you should always line shop to make sure you are getting the best odds.

Thursday’s Best WNBA Picks: Liberty vs. Sky
(Odds Courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
New York Liberty (-12) vs. Chicago Sky (+490) Picks
An 11.5-point spread is massive, but from what we've seen of both teams, it may be small. New York has picked up where it left off; the Liberty are one of the better offensive and defensive teams in the WNBA. Chicago, on the other hand, struggled on both ends of the court in their season opener versus Indiana. If the Fever can crush the Sky by 35 points, New York can cover a 12-point spread against this Sky team.
Pick: Liberty -11.5 (-108)
New York Liberty (-11.5) vs. Chicago Sky (+490) Same-Game Parlay
I hate the price FanDuel Sportsbook has listed for Angel Reese to record 12+ rebounds, but I just don't like 13.5 over/under. Yes, she pulled down 17 boards against Indiana and went for over 13.5 in 14 games last season. However, she had 13.5+ rebounds in just one of four games against New York last season. Now, that's not to say she will not clear that number tonight, but for betting purposes, I like to have an easier number for her to reach (Reese recorded 12+ boards in 20 games last year).
Reese has had solid scoring nights in the past, but putting points on the board is typically not something she specializes in doing. She averaged 13.6 points per game last season, and scored under 13.5 in all four games against New York last season. She led the team with 12 points versus Indiana.
Parlay Odds: +198
