Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook
Seattle Storm Moneyline (+176)
The Liberty will once again be without the services of Jonquel Jones, as they take on the Seattle Storm at home in Brooklyn. New York has lost five out of their last eight games, and two out of the last four games as the home team. The Storm defeated the Liberty when these teams met last on June 22, in Seattle.
The Storm are putting up 81.8 points over their last five games, and tied for the most field-goals attempted with 71.2 per game. This type of volume should serve Seattle well against a Liberty team missing a major offensive, and defensive weapon.
Seattle resides just outside the top half of the league in regards to defensive rating, and only allow 79.8 points each contest. The Storm are holding the opposition to only seven baskets from beyond the arc over the last five games.
Seattle has won eight out their last eleven games, with three wins in the previous four games on the road. New York has one victory in their last three games, and have lost four of the last five games played against a team with a record above .500. The Liberty were only defeated one time on their home floor this season. However, we feel Seattle digs deep, and adds another loss to New York's stellar home record.
First Quarter Moneyline/Total Double – Las Vegas Aces Under 39.5 (+135)
Make no mistake about it, the Las Vegas Aces are absolutely struggling at this current juncture. The Aces are putting up a mere 73.3 points when playing as the away team, while only knocking down 37.5% of field-goal attempts. As bad as things are for Las Vegas currently, a matchup against the lowly Connecticut Sun may be just what the Aces need to turn the page as the All-Star game approaches.
The Aces score 9.4 fewer points when playing on the road, and experience a decrease of over 4% in field-goal conversions. Las Vegas is averaging just 19.0 points in the first quarter over the last five games on 40% shooting from the field. The offense does not seem to travel for the Aces, and their opponents today are just as inefficient .
Connecticut is averaging a league-worst 16.9 points in the first 10 minutes of gameplay, while shooting a frigid 36.6% from the field. The Aces and Sun combine for under 40% shooting in the first quarter, as well as rank in the bottom half of the league in regards to first quarter field-goal attempts.
The moneyline on this contest is currently -3000, with a first quarter spread of -5.5 favoring the Aces. Las Vegas should be able to lead going into the second quarter, and these teams collectively score 35.8 points in the first quarter when the Aces are on the road.
Connecticut Sun Over 69.5 Total Team Points (-120)
Las Vegas is extremely gracious on the defensive side of the floor, allowing 82.4 points each contest on the road on 44.9% shooting from the field. The Aces have allowed 70 points or more in 14 out of 15 games, as well as their last six contests as road opponents.
The Sun are a young team that is going to continue to struggle in the 2025 campaign. Having said that, Connecticut is averaging 71.1 points on the season. The Sun are averaging 77.4 points when playing at home, and hit an extra 3.9% of field-goal attempts.
Connecticut has exceeded 69.5 points in their previous three out of four contests at home, and in four-of-seven games overall . This will be one of the sweatiest selections of the bunch. Yet we feel the Sun can accumulate 70 points or more in this contest.
Chicago Sky +15 (-112)
Despite only recording five wins on the season, the Chicago Sky have found success in two out of the last three games. Minnesota certainly presents a difficult assignment this evening, however, we feel Chicago can stay within fifteen points in this contest. This is especially true against a Lynx team who will be playing their second game in as many nights.
Chicago has only trailed by 15 points or more at the end of the fourth quarter in one of their last seven games. The Sky have three wins over that span, and have held opponents to 3.0 less than their season average over the previous three contests. Chicago's pressure could have a tad more success in this game considering this will be a back-to-back for Minnesota.
Obviously we cannot confidently suggest that Chicago comes away with an outright win against a Minnesota team that is undefeated at home this season. However, the fifteen-point deficit seems a bit ambitious on the second leg of a back-to-back.
Angel Reese Over 31.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Angel Resse is absolutely smashing on the floor as of late, and today the 23-year old faces off against one of the best defensive units in the league, the Minnesota Lynx. Reese is coming off four consecutive games with at least 32 points + rebounds + assists . The Baltimore-born forward is averaging 17.25 points, 17.5 boards and 4.75 dimes over the last four contests.
The efficiency has also increased for the Chicago forward in recent games as well. Over the last five contests, Reese has finished with a field-goal percentage of 50% or higher in three out of four contests. The LSU standout has been nearly perfect from the line over the last seven games, missing only two attempts out of the last 37 trips to the line.
The Sky forward has only failed to record more than 31.5 P+R+A in one of the previous seven games. Angel Reese is currently in excellent form on the glass, connecting on field-goal attempts, and looks to be in a fantastic spot to clear the suggested total for points, rebounds and assists today against the Lynx.
