With only two games on the WNBA card for Saturday, why not boost the payout potential with a few parlay wagers? Golden State is in Atlanta for an early tip, at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. The nightcap brings us to the Pacific Northwest, where Portland visits Seattle for a 9 p.m. tip on WNBA League Pass.
For those new to sports betting, parlays are wagers that combine multiple plays from any of the games on the card — and from any sport, for that matter — to create one wager with multiple legs. The more legs to the parlay, the odds increase to give you a higher potential payout. The one thing to remember is that every leg must hit.

Here are the odds for Saturday's games (odds via FanDuel):
Golden State Valkyries at Atlanta Dream
Portland Fire at Seattle Storm

Atlanta has lost four in a row and will likely be thinking with a double-revenge mindset against the Valkyries, after losing back-to-back games at Golden State last week. It'll be important for the Valkyries to come out with their stringent defense early on. Not only is Golden State (42.5) just in front of Atlanta (42.3) in first-half scoring, but the Valks rank No. 1 with their scoring defense as the only team in the W allowing fewer than 40 points over the first 20 minutes, surrendering just 35.6.
If there is anyone who will be motivated for this one, it could be Allisha Gray, who was arguably snubbed as an All-Star starter. Teammate Angel Reese spoke out about no Atlanta players being named an All-Star starter, and as competitive as the former 3-point champion is, I think she comes out firing. While Gray ranks 13th in the league with 18.3 points per game, she's hitting nearly two 3-pointers per game on .306 shooting from beyond the arc. And in her two lone home games against the Valks since they entered the league, Gray has hit 5 of 13 (.384) — an average of 2.5 per meeting.
Kayla Thornton is averaging a team-high 5.2 rebounds per game this season, but this is a game she might snatch a season high off the glass. I feel as if she's going to need her Windex, considering the number of shots Atlanta attempts. If this turns into a shootout, Thornton will be putting in work. In 30 career games against the Dream, she averages 4.3 rebounds per meeting. That's not quite meeting the threshold, but she's grabbed six boards in each of her last two trips into Atlanta. And what has Thornton averaged over her last nine meetings in Atlanta? An exact 5.5. Today she goes over.
Sarah Ashlee Barker just scored 25 points in the four-overtime thriller in Washington D.C., and has scored more than 11 in three of her last four games. Overall, this season, she's scored more than 11 in 10 of 20 games. And while she's scoring 10.8 points per road game this season, the Fire have played just two road games in the Pacific time zone. This is a territorial rivalry, and with Barker finding her groove lately, I expect her to duplicate the 12-point performance against the Storm on June 17, and then some.
The important thing to remember with Meagan Gustafson's props is she spent the previous five seasons with Washington, Phoenix and Las Vegas. So a lot of her career numbers including backing up three of the greatest centers ever, in Tina Charles, Brittney Griner and A'ja Wilson. Now, Gustafson opened the season averaging 2.8 rebounds per game through 10 contests. Since then, the 6-foot-4 center has been grabbing 4.4 boards per game. She's cleared 3.5 rebounds in nine of the last 16 games. And when facing the Storm, she's grabbed four in each of her last two meetings.
The rookie from LSU has hit a total of 10 3-pointers in her last four games, draining two or more in each game. Flau'jae Johnson has connected from long range twice in a game in nine games this season, including eight of her last 17 contests. It's what she's done at home that's most important for this one, as she's hit two or more 3-pointers in three straight home games and in seven of 11 games in Seattle this season.
