Sunday's Best WNBA Bets
2026 Regular Season: 14-14-0 | Last: 1-1 | (Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Chicago Sky (-1.5) at Seattle Storm (+110) | O/U 177.5 (-112/-108)
Chicago and Seattle have split the season series so far, 1-1, with the Storm taking last Monday's game, 97-88. The Storm are 1-12 in their last 13 games with that W against the Sky being their lone victory since thumping the Sparks back on July 6.
The Sky have lost three in a row and are 4-6 in their last 10. However, Seattle is just beyond bad this season when it comes to winning, sitting in the cellar of the league and were the first team eliminated from postseason contention. The Sky at least have something left to play for...technically.
You can look at this as backing Chicago or fading the ultimate 2026 fade in Seattle, whichever view makes you feel better.
Pick: Sky Moneyline (-130)
Atlanta Dream (-1.5) at Indiana Fever (+2101) | O/U 187.5 (-112/-108)
The Indiana Fever have won three games in a row and eight of their last 10. The Dream have won their last two and they have also won eight of their last 10.
The Fever come in at 22-12 (.647) while the Dream are 21-12 (.636). Only 0.5 games and .011 percentage points separate them in the standings. The Dream have the 2-1 edge in the season series and have taken the last two. However, their most recent wins have come against an eliminated Connecticut Sun squad and a Toronto team in the throes of a 10-game slide. Indiana has its most recent wins against current playoff teams in the Dallas Wings and New York Liberty.
Additionally, Caitlin Clark (back) is probable for this game, so make sure you grab the Fever at plus odds before her status likely takes the Fever under even money.
Pick: Fever Moneyline (+102)
