Last night's slate did not disappoint as the Liberty, Sparks, Lynx, and Dream came out victorious. Angel Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 900 points and 900 rebounds, doing so in 71 games. Today should bring plenty of betting opportunities and excitement.

Kicking off the afternoon slate is the Seattle Storm (3-5, 1-2 away) and the Toronto Tempo (4-4, 1-2 home). Toronto got the best of their first matchup, 86-73, and will try to extend a winning streak following a 111-104 victory over the Chicago Sky. Led by Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes, the Tempo gets a Seattle team that is tabbed as 5.5-point underdogs today.

Matchup of the Day: Fever vs. Fire

Next up, the Los Angeles Sparks (4-3, 3-0 away) will face the Connecticut Sun (1-8, 0-3) on the road. Set to play a back-to-back, the Sparks delivered against the Mystics 92-87 on Friday, thanks to Cameron Brink and Nneka Ogwumike. Winners of three straight games, they get a rebuilding Sun team that has just one victory on the season.

1-9 over the last 10 games dating back to last season, Connecticut waived Hailey Van Lith but will get Leila Lacan back from overseas. They are currently 4.5-point underdogs and are riding a three-game losing streak.

Last, the Indiana Fever (4-3, 1-1 away) will match up against the Portland Fire (5-4, 3-3 home). Caitlin Clark and company get the Fire, who are on a back-to-back and were trounced by the Atlanta Dream on Friday. Large 10.5-point favorites, the Fever are fresh off a loss to the Valkyries, but remain high in the standings. Considered one of the more surprising teams, the Fire are above .500 as an expansion team and won three of their last four games.

WNBA Best Bets & Player Props (May 30)

• Aliyah Boston OVER 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-119 DraftKings)
• LA Sparks vs. Connecticut Sun OVER 166.5 Points (-135 DraftKings)
• Marina Mabrey OVER 17.5 Points (-140 Fanatics)

Indiana Fever vs. Portland Fire Best Bets

Player Prop Bet: Aliyah Boston OVER 24.5 Points + Rebounds

For my first bet for today, I placed one unit on Fever center Aliyah Boston to record over 24.5 points and rebounds against the Fire.

Oddsmakers tabbed the Fever as a 10.5-point favorite; they are expecting a blowout. Plus, the Fire are on a back-to-back and just suffered a 20-point loss to the Atlanta Dream.

The Fire have surprised many with a 5-4 record, and Megan Gustafson, Luisa Geiselsöder, and Emily Engstler headline the Fire frontcourt. Yes, Engstler has shown her two-way presence this year, but it wasn't enough to stop Angel Reese's 18-point, 12-rebound night on Friday.

Unless the Fire are completely fatigued, they hang in games, and that's what they did until the fourth quarter against the Dream. Let's lock in Boston, who delivered 24 points and eight rebounds, while shooting 8-of-11 from the field, 2-of-4 from three, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line in the Fever's 90-73 victory over the Fire last week.

While Boston got to work without Caitlin Clark in the lineup, she was effective. Boston was calling for the matchup over Geiselsöder and even split the defense posting up against both Gustafson and Engstler. Excellent in the pick-and-roll postups and expanding her range, Boston has the clear matchup advantage here. Most of the night, she attacked in the paint.

Analytically, the numbers support the last matchup: The Fire allow the third-most points to centers (17.7) and 9.7 rebounds per game. Boston scored 24 points alone on six free-throw attempts–I think this line is probably too low. Reese alone had 12 boards last night.

Final WNBA Betting Prediction: Aliyah Boston OVER 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-119 DraftKings)

While Boston has soared over this prop line just twice, the numbers don't lie. She boasts a 25.7% usage rate, and 7.3 of her 15.5 points come inside the paint. Not only are the Fever one of the more efficient teams in the paint, but the Fire allows 37.3 interior points per game.

This is a lock for me, as prominent post players such as Angel Reese (30 PR), Jonquel Jones (23 PR), and Kamilla Cardoso (36) have had no trouble finding their footing against the Fire frontcourt this season.

• I'm taking Aliyah Boston to record over 24.5 points and rebounds. Although this player prop line is just north of her season average of 23.3 points and rebounds, I like the matchup too much. Boston should bounce back from a 4-of-11 shooting night in which she delivered 13 points and six rebounds against the Valkyries. Today, she gets a Fire team that ranks No. 11 in defensive rating (107.1) and last in rebounding percentage (46.9%). The Fever currently leads the WNBA in rebound rate (54.2%).

LA Sparks vs. Connecticut Sun Best Bets

Total Bet: Sparks vs. Sun OVER 166.5 Points

For my second-best bet for today, I placed one unit on the LA Sparks and Connecticut Sun matchup to soar over 166.5 points.

The Sparks are in the back half of a back-to-back and earned a much-needed close victory over the Mystics last night, thanks to Nneka Ogwumike. The Sparks will remain without their biggest star, Kelsey Plum, due to an ankle injury, but this line is low.

Not only did the Sparks put up 92 points without Plum, but they own the second-best offensive rating (112.1) in the WNBA. Boasting a strong frontcourt that features Cam Brink, Nneka Ogwumike, and Dearica Hamby, the Sparks have scored 90+ in three straight wins and are averaging 96.7 points during that span.

Plus, that's five straight games in which the Sparks have scored 90+ points, for an average of 97 points over the last five. It's been apparent that the offensive game under head coach Lynne Roberts is strong—Kelsey Plum has been the offensive catalyst, but the Sparks have a strong rotation that can space the floor.

Not to mention, they are one of the best 3-point shooting teams (35.3%) in the WNBA, score 91.6 points per game, and have a strong interior presence with 42.9 points per game. Ironically, they post the third-worst NET rating (-4.3) and the worst defensive rating (116.3) in the WNBA.

So today, they head into Connecticut again, off a back-to-back and shot 50% from the field last night. Connecticut is one of the worst teams on both sides of the ball, but I want to emphasize defense. Lacan's return should help on both sides, but the Sun holds the third-worst defensive rating (110.2) in the WNBA.

Final WNBA Betting Prediction: LA Sparks vs. Connecticut Sun OVER 166.5 Points (-135 DraftKings)

Connecticut has used at least six different lineups this season, and is averaging only 74.7 points per game. As a team, they allow nearly 90 points per game and a 35.5 opponent 3-point percentage. Offensively, Connecticut thrives off turnovers (16.2 PPG), and the Sparks average a good amount of turnovers per game (13.9).

This season, the Sparks are 6-1 on over/unders, and the Sun are 4-5 on totals. The Sun's offense has been dreadful, averaging just 63.3 points over the last three games. This is a team that put up 94 points against the Aces, and gets a Sparks team that hasn't allowed fewer than 87 points this season.

• I'll take the over for this matchup. Both the Sun and Sparks rank among the top seven in pace, and the Sparks have soared over the last five games. The last time these two teams met, LA routed the Sun 102-91 in August 2025. Connecticut is banged-up, and its offense has looked out of rhythm. Hopefully, they gain some steam against a forgiving Sparks' defense.

Seattle Storm vs. Toronto Tempo Best Bets

Player Prop Bet: Marina Mabrey OVER 17.5 Points

For my last player prop of the day, I placed one unit on Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey to record over 17.5 points against the Seattle Storm.

As I mentioned in previous articles, the Tempo's success is very much contingent on the performances of Brittney Sykes and Mabrey nightly.

Mabrey is widely known for her 3-point prowess, but can score in other ways. In her first season with Toronto, she's averaging 18.8 points, while shooting 41.7% from the field and 35.8% from three.

Mabrey is far more efficient from beyond the arc, but she has a fairly decent matchup today. Soaring over this prop line in 5 of 8 games this season, Mabrey gets a Storm team that allows 38.8 points to guards/forwards. While Julie Allemand might return, it's unclear how that will affect Mabrey's production.

Behind Sykes, Mabrey is averaging 26.8 minutes per game and boasts an incredible 31.2% usage rate under head coach Sandy Brondello. Although her field goal percentage could be more efficient, she's averaging 3.0 threes on 8.4 attempts.

Yes, you heard that correctly, over 8 3-point attempts per game.

Mabrey is efficient when she gets to her spots, and is easily one of the most spot-up and catch-and-shoot 3-point flamethrowers in the WNBA. She has a deadly step-back three and delivered 26 points in Toronto's 86-73 victory over Seattle on May 13. In the outing, she shot 9-of-20 from the field, 6-of-11 (54.5%) from three, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

Final WNBA Betting Prediction: Marina Mabrey OVER 17.5 Points (-140 Fanatics)

Draining threes left and right, Mabrey was effective in the pick-and-roll with Nyara Sabally and utilized rejected ball screens and pump fakes to get over Natisha Hiedeman and Dominique Malonga at the perimeter. We saw a variety of everything as Mabrey attacked downhill and was extremely efficient in transition.

• Let's lock in Marina Mabrey for 18+ points. She's averaging 24 points at home this season while shooting 42.9% from three. Plus, she's averaging 17.7 shots at home, compared to 12.4 on the road. Seattle is surprisingly one of the more efficient defensive teams, but Mabrey read the Storm's defense really well last game.
