Tuesday's Best WNBA Picks & Bets
(Odds Courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Dallas Wings at Indiana Fever
Although the Fever have rarely been playing at full strength all season, they've put together an impressive campaign. They've compiled a 18-14 SU record with 17-15 ATS. Most impressive, however, is their play at home. The Fever have gone 10-6 ATS. This is in large part to scoring almost seven more points per game at home.
The home and away splits are quite interesting for Indiana. At home they shoot very well from deep with a 37.6% 3P% and they attempt almost four more free throws than they do on the road. For Dallas this is especially bad news because they give up threes at a 38.3% clip on the road and allow over 23 free throws per game.
Earlier this month these two teams met in Dallas where the Fever won 88-78 as four-point favorites. With the game now in Indiana, I'm surprised to only see 2.5 points added to the spread. Dallas has talent but they haven't played well as of recent with a 2-8 SU record, despite a 5-5 ATS record. The Fever should add to the loss column in both records with another comfortable win at home.
Pick: Fever -6.5 (-115)
New York Liberty at Los Angeles Sparks
No team in the WNBA has been as hot as the Los Angeles Sparks. They've been 10-4 both SU and ATS which has catapulted them from 5-12 SU to right in the postseason conversation. On Tuesday they'll take on a Liberty team that just has not been the same since Breanna Stewart went out with an injury, going 0-7-1 ATS.
A big reason that the Sparks have turned things around is their elite offense. They shoot 46.1% from the field which is bested only by the Minnesota Lynx juggernaut. They shoot well from both two-point and three-point territories. However, New York has a strong defense and they've really turned things around after some poor performances defensively when Stewart initially left the lineup. They've allowed just 78.4 PPG in the month of August and that has led for five straight Unders.
The Sparks have been scorching hot offensively and that is likely the reason that the total has ballooned up as high as it has. However, the Liberty have found their rhythm again on defense and should be able to keep this team in check. I'll be watching for a low scoring affair that will have big implications on the postseason race.
Pick: Under 178.5 Total Points (-110)
