Sunday's Best WNBA Bets
2026 Regular Season: 17-16-0 | Last: 1-2 | (Odds courtesy of Bet365)
Minnesota Lynx (-2.5) at Atlanta Dream (+120) | O/U 177.5 (-105/-115)
The Lynx come in as winners of six of the last seven games and 14 of their last 16, going back to a July 8 win over the Sun. They have also won eight straight games on the road dating back to that July 8 win in Connecticut. Minnesota is 17-2 away from Target Center this season.
The Atlanta Dream come in having won four of their last five and 12 of their last 16 games. The Dream are 12-7 at home this season and have won six of their last 10 at Gateway Center.
Atlanta is 1-1 against the Lynx this season and has won three of the last four meetings dating back to July 27, 2025. The Dream won the last meeting in College Park, GA, between these two teams on August 21, 2025, when they defeated Minnesota, 75-73.
Minnesota guard Courtney Williams (foot) is a game time decision. This should be must-see TV this afternoon with it taking $148 just to get in the building.
Pick: Dream Moneyline (+120) & Dream +2.5 (-115)
Golden State Valkyries (-5.5) at Portland Fire (+170) | O/U 157.5 (-108/-112)
Golden State is 28-11, leading every team in the W outside of Minnesota. However, they will be without the services ofCecilia Zandalasini, Janelle Salaun, and Gabby Williams, who will be sitting out for rest/non-injury related reasons today.This benches 36.0 points and gives extreme value to the Fire in Portland.
The Fire shocked the world last time out, taking down the Dream in Atlanta on Friday night, 101-83. They also just covered the spread against the Mystics in their last home game, falling by just five points, hanging on the hook of the 5.5-point spread.
This is just the second meeting between these two teams, but the first of three matchups in the final five regular-season games. This is the most winnable game considering the players resting for the Valks.
Take the value and Acquire the Fire!
Pick: Fire Moneyline (+170)
