The Minnesota Lynx suffered their first loss of the season against the Seattle Storm and are now tabbed as large -11.5 point spread favorites at home against the Los Angeles Sparks. Reigning Commissioner's Cup Champions, this is a crucial game for Minnesota.

Last, the Seattle Storm are heavy -9.5 point spread favorites on the road against a gritty Golden State Valkyries squad. Very much still in the Cup standings, this is a must-win for Seattle.

WNBA Best Bets For Saturday, June 14

WNBA Spread Bet: Los Angeles Sparks vs Minnesota Lynx

Sparks ATS Record: 5-6
Lynx ATS Record: 4-6

• Minnesota Lynx -10.5 (-112 FanDuel)

My first bet for today, I placed one unit on the Minnesota Lynx to cover the 10.5 favorable spread against the Los Angeles Sparks.

In reality, these are two teams that are light years apart, and now the Lynx can get court advantage.

Although coming off a 94-84 loss against the Storm, we are talking about a Lynx team that started 9-0! Led by Napheesa Collier, the Lynx are a  dangerously scary team. In fact, the rank No. 2 in offensive rating (107.4), No.3 in defensive rating (96.4), and No.2 overall in net rating (10.9).

And from a coaching perspective, this is a well oiled machine under head coach Cheryl Reeve. With Kelsey Plum getting a revenge game against the Aces with the Sparks, 97-89, the Sparks have their weaknesses.

Under new head coach Lynne Roberts, the Sparks have the offense to keep up with the Lynx. Overall, they rank No.4 in offensive rating (103.9). It starts with Kesey Plum and ends with Dearica Hamby. This team has the talent, including Rickea Jackson from a scoring perspective.

Can The Minnesota Lynx Repeat As Commissioner's Cup Champions?

Where this team loses me is the defensive. As a team, the Sparks rank No. 10 in defensive rating (104.3), and allowed the Aces, Valkyries, Wings and Mercury to average 87.6 points against them over the last five games.

Now they once again face the Lynx, who crushed them, 89-75 on May 18. We are talking about a well polished Lynx offense, who's averaging 84.8 points per game over the last four outings. But defensively— I can see them shutting the Sparks down.

Aside from Wednesday's matchup with the Storm, the Lynx held the Wings, Mercury, Valkyries, and Sun to 77 points in under over the six games prior. In that span, Minnesota held Dallas and Phoenix to 65 points each.

Both the Lynx and Storm are 3-1 in the Commissioners Cup standings, and the Lynx hold a +40 point differential over the Cup games. However there's a twist— the Storm hold a +5 point differential in their lone head-to-head matchup with the Lynx. Therefore, this is a must win for Minnesota, and every point counts.

Cam Brink and Rae Burrell will continue to be sidelined for the Sparks. In addition, Julie Allemand will be OUT (Eurobasket).

Final WNBA Best Bets & Prediction: Minnesota Lynx -10.5 (-112 FanDuel)

Overall, the Lynx hold the second best point differential in the WNBA (+8.7). As for the Sparks, they have a -0.7 point differential, and I have continued concerns as what the offense continues to look like. Will the Sparks heavily rely on Plum as we saw against Golden State, or will Lynne Roberts have another game plan?

In their only matchup of the year, the Lynx dominated the Sparks by 14 points. Thanks to Napheesa Collier's 23 points, Minnesota shot an impeccable 48 percent from beyond the arc.

Not to mention, the Sparks were rolling with a nine player rotation, and the offense was abysmal outside of Hamby, Stevens, and Plum. A complete masterclass in the paint and on the boards, I'm expecting a similar outcome today for the Lynx.

• Give me the Minnesota Lynx to cover the 10.5 point spread today. 

WNBA Spread Bet: New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever

Liberty ATS Record: 6-3
Fever ATS Record: 5-4

• Indiana Fever +4.5 (-115 DraftKings)

My second best spread bet for today, I placed one unit on the Indiana Fever to cover the +4.5 point spread against the New York Liberty.

Caitlin Clark has missed the last five games, and will bring much needed scoring, pace, and facilitating to the Fever. Without Clark, Indiana finished a 2-3, reocrd, and 2-3 ATS.

If we remember last matchup on May 24, the Liberty won a nail biter, 90-88 against the Fever. Set to matchup once again in Indiana, it was Sabrina Ionescu's clutch free-throws that sealed the deal for New York.

With Leonie Fiebich out for Eurobasket— the Liberty have officially ruled out Jonquel Jones with an ankle injury. This leaves New York with a thin frontcourt, and less spacing and 3-point shooting without Jones. Not having Fiebich is a loss, but without Jones, I can't see where the Fever wouldn't cover this spread.

Caitlin Clark Will Return To Action Today Vs The New York Liberty

Last outing was a high scoring affair in which Jones led the Liberty pack with 26 points and 12 rebounds. Nyrara Sabally opted out from Eurobasket, and can provide stable production as we saw in last year's finals. However, New York loses a rim protector and 3-point threat.

It's a scary through for the Liberty, considering Aliyah Boston exploded for 27 points in their last matchup. In a well balanced scoring attack, Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull provided 15 points each— While Caitlin Clark exploded for a double-double (18 points, 10 assists).

With that said, the Fever are expecting both Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham back and active today, barring any setbacks. While it's unclear if both will remain under a minutes restriction, it's an important matchup for both teams.

The Liberty own the Eastern Conference Commissioner's Cup standings with a 3-0 record and +75 point differential. For the Fever, they have a 2-1 record, +17 point differential, and sit behind the Liberty and Atlanta Dream. Unless New York loses all their matchups between now and June 17, I'm fully expecting the Liberty to come out on top in the East cup standings.

Through four games, Clark is averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds on the season. She's the engine of this team, and her return should make a vital impact.

Final WNBA Best Bets & Prediction: Indiana Fever +4.5 (-115 DraftKings).

However, this is a nationally televised game, and Clark's return will be well recognized fans and bettors around the league. 5-4 ATS on the season, Indiana is 3-2 ATS at home. Although their offense has looked stagnant at times, the Fever are 2-1 ATS against the Mystics, Sky, and Dream over the last three games.

We saw the Fever cover the 4 point underdog spread in the 90-88 loss against the Liberty this season. Now with several players out for New York, I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana served New York their first loss of the season.

• I'm taking the points with the Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever today.
