Sunday's Best WNBA Bets
2026 Regular Season: 3-1-0 | Last: 1-1 | (Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Dallas Wings (+250) at New York Liberty (-7.5) | O/U 179.5 (-105/-115)
Both of these teams are coming in off losses, but Dallas owns a 2-1 record on the road this season. The Liberty have been gettable early, with only a 1-1 record at Barclays Center.
Even with the expected return of Sabrina Ionesco, a 2.5x return is just too much value for a much improved Wings team. One that actually plays defense this year, holding opponents to 85.8 points, while New York holds their opponents to a similar but higher 87.0.
New York has lost two of their last three games, and prior to that stretch saw a young Mystics squad take them to OT in Washington, D.C. They could easily be 2-3, and their season-opening victory was against the Connecticut Sun, the last team to win a game this year.
Pick: Wings Moneyline (+250)
Washington Mystics (-4.5) at Seattle Storm (+160) | O/U 158.5 (-112/-108)
The Mystics are 3-1 ATS this season while the Storm are 3-3. Additionally, Washington took two of three meetings last season and has taken three of the last four head-to-head matchups between these squads dating back to August 26, 2024.
The Mystics are 2-2 SU, beating the Fever and Caitlin Clark in OT in Indy and taking the Liberty to OT in D.C.
Washington’s strong, young core should have no problem taking care of business in Seattle today.
Pick: Mystics -4.5 (-114)
