First up, the Connecticut Sun (3-20, 2-9 home) will host the Golden State Valkyries (11-12, 3-8 away) at Mohegan Sun Arena. 5.5-point spread favorites on the road, the Valkyries have impressed in their inaugural WNBA season under Head Coach Natalie Nakase. While the Valkyries are back on track after an 86-76 victory over Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, the Connecticut Sun have dropped four straight games.
Next, the Chicago Sky (7-17, 4-7 home) will host Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever (13-12, 5-6 away). Caitlin Clark continues to remain sidelined with a groin injury for the Fever, in which Indiana is 4-2 in their last six games. With Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith listed in the injury report, the Sky will remain without Moriah Jefferson and Ariel Atkins. Tabbed as +340 moneyline underdogs at home, the Sky have lost four straight games.
Set to take place in Arlington, the Dallas Wings (7-18, 4-7 home) will square off against A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces (12-13, 5-9 away). Although the Aces have suffered two consecutive losses against the Lynx and Fever, they are heavy 8.5-point spread favorites today. With Paige Bueckers out for this one due to rest, the Wings are 1-5 in their last six games.
For the early evening matchup, the Washington Mystics (12-12, 8-4) get a back-to-back at home, and will host Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury (15-9, 6-5 away).+240 moneyline underdogs at home, the Mystics are down 0-1 in the regular season series. While the Mercury are on a three game losing streak, the Mystics are coming off an impressive 69-58 home victory against the Storm last night.
Last up, there's a highly anticipated matchup between the Atlanta Dream (14-10, 6-7 away) and the Minnesota Lynx (22-4, 14-0 home). Large 8.5-point spread favorites at home, Napheesa Collier and the Lynx own the WNBA's best record of 22-4.

My first best WNBA bet for today, I placed one unit on Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson to record over 23.5 points against the Dallas Wings.
Without Paige Bueckers, there's a very good chance this could be a blowout, however I love the matchup here.
Let's face it, Wilson ranks second in the WNBA in points per game (22 PPG) behind Napheesa Collier, and has one of the best matchups of the season.
There's no doubt the Wings have had moving parts all season long, including trading away NaLyssa Smith to the Aces. Now, the Wings have vastly revamped their frontcourt, and will start Li Yueru and Luisa Geiselsoder. With that said, Teaira McCowan didn't touch the court for a single minute last matchup against Golden State.
Without Monique Billing and Kayla Thornton, we saw Janelle Salaün and Tami Fagbenle combine for 27 points against Dallas. The game prior, Nneka Ogwumike erupted for 22 points for the Storm.
Even though the Wing's have captured some major victories, let's face it, defense is a problem. Overall, they rank tenth in defensive rating (106.3), although they've improved to top five (96) over the last three games.
Already without Paige Bueckers, this is a Wings team that allows the most points to centers. This is especially true since Wilson shifted to the five following the acquisition of Smith. Defensively, the Wings allow the third most points per game in the WNBA with 85.8.
The Aces are coming off back-to-back losses against the Lynx and Dream, in which Wilson recorded 15 and 20 points. Of course, I'm not overthinking last game, Wilson played just 24 minutes in the 109-78 blowout against Minnesota.
I'll call it how I see it. The Aces look uncharacteristic even with a core four of Wilson, Jewell Loyd, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray. Ranking ninth in offensive rating (100.6), Wilson continues to act as the engine on both sides of the court. The Aces leader in scoring, the scoring production massively drops off after Jackie Young.
Overall, Wilson leads the Aces in FGA (15.7), and free-throw attempts per game (8.0). Sure this player prop line is slightly juiced at 23.5 points. However, she's soared over this line in four straight meetings against the Wings, averaging 35.8 points per game over that span!
Even with Yueru at 6 foot 7, the Wings lack major rim protection, and Wilson has a clear path to smash this prop line if it's not a blowout. Plus, this player prop has great value at -106 odds.
GP: 20 | PPG: 7.7 | FG: 44.9 % | FT: 86.7 % | 3PT: 41.9 % | REB: 4.0 | AST: 0.8 | STL: 1.0 | BLK: 0.5
My second best WNBA bet for today, I placed one unit on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham to record over 1.5 made threes against the Chicago Sky.
Traded to the Indiana Fever in the offseason, Cunningham has been the perfect role player for Head Coach Stephanie White and the Fever. Especially with Caitlin Clark out for an extended period of time with injury.
Yes, I know this player prop line is heavily juiced at -162 odds, however there's still value there.
Cunningham faces a Chicago Sky team that is entering dark times. Just 7-17 on the season, the Sky will possibly be without Angel Reese for the second consecutive games. Plus Atkins and Jefferson remain out.
Along with losing four straight games, the Sky have lost any sort of identity. With that said, they rank No. 12 in defensive rating (109.1), and allow the highest opponent 3-point percentage in the WNBA (37.1 %). Along with that, Chicago allows the second most 3PA per game (26.9), and most 3-pointers per game (10).
This is a perfect matchup for Cunningham, who isn't the Fever's best scoring option, or even the fourth for that matter. However, she ranks third on the team with 1.6 threes per game on 3.7 attempts. Not to mention, she's shooting a career-high 41.9 percent from beyond the arc.
Even without Caitlin Clark, this puts Cunningham in a perfect spot, especially since the Sky give up the second-most 3-pointers to guards. Soaring over this player prop line in six straight games, the Fever guard is averaging 3.0 threes per game over that span.
Now she faces a Sky team, where Cunningham has crushed this prop line in four straight matchups. Although it's her first matchup of the season against Chicago due to injuries, the Fever are shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc in two matchups against the Sky this season.
GP: 22 | PPG: 14.5 | FG: 42 % | FT: 94.9 % | 3PT: 38.2 % | REB: 9.5 | AST: 3.2 | STL: 1.1 | BLK: o.1
My third best WNBA bet for today, I placed one unit on Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride to record over 13.5 points against the Atlanta Dream.
The Lynx get the Dream today, who will be without Rhyne Howard, an absolute defensive menace. This is especially great news for McBride, who should have some height advantage on Jordin Canada.
While the Dream have been a bit inconsistent as of late, they are a top six team defensively. Without Howard, this is still an Atlanta team who allows the fifth most point to guards.
There's a lot of talent on this Lynx team—Napheesa Collier, McBride, Courtney Williams, Alanna Smith, and so on. Of course Collier is the leading scorer and MVP candidate. However, I feel McBride has the best matchup here. A. bit inconsistent on the betting side of things, her performance has picked up as of late.
Crushing this player prop line in five of the last six games against the Dream, we've seen McBride explode for 30, 15, and 18 points over the last three meetings against the Dream. Plus, she's cleared this line in four of the last five games, averaging 16.4 points per game. In one lone matchup this season, McBride erupted for 18 points in the Lynx 96-92 overtime victory. 5-11 from the field, McBride went a perfect 6-6 from the charity stripe.
For the value at +100, how can I fade this? McBride is shooting over 38 percent from deep, and 42.9 percent beyond the arc over the last two games. Not to mention, she's been fairly consistent, scoring 13+ points in five straight games dating back to July 12.
If McBride can hunt her shot, she's one of the best three-level scorers in the game. We are talking about a Dream team that Aces guards Jackie Young and Dana Evans to erupt for a combined 28 points.
