We are back in action with two games tonight on the WNBA slate as the All-Star break is in the rear view mirror, and we look to the playoffs down the road. After a clean All-Star game sweep, we continue the momentum into the second half of the season.
Of course, as a reminder, I must advise shopping around for the best props and keep track of lineup news. Staying on top of news is a great way to stay ahead of the market, and shopping around will help with seasonal return on investment (ROI).

Monday’s Best WNBA Picks & Bets: Storm vs. Sun
Last Time: 3-0 | Season: 16-7 | Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Seattle Storm vs. Connecticut Sun
The Seattle Storm travels across the country to face off against the Connecticut Sun. Seattle sits at a hefty favorite around 11.5 points in a game with a total around 157.5 points.
It has been a tough season for the Sun. They are pretty easily the worst team in the WNBA, and there isn't much of a silver lining. Analytically speaking, their offense and defense are both dead last; they allow a lot of boards, and take a lot of twos. The only thing going for them is they're the third-slowest team in the league, so they don't get crushed every game.
Seattle's offense hasn't been a powerhouse, but its defense has been elite. Recently, it's been even better, sitting atop the league in the last 10 games. On the other hand, their offense has been the worst in the league, with a rating of just 93.5 during the same timeframe. So a stoppable force meets a movable object.
I'm shocked at this number, given how these two teams match up. Neither team allows a high number of threes and neither is trying to shoot them. Connecticut's defense is not great, but it jumps up four spots when playing at home, while Seattle plays better on the road. This will be a slow game highlighted by defense prowess. This is an easy bet on the under.
Picks: Under 157.5 Points (-110)
