First up, the Connecticut Sun (3-19, 2-8 home) will host the Los Angeles Sparks (9-14, 6-6 away) at home in Uncasville, Connecticut. Both trending in opposite directions, the Sun may get Marina Mabrey back after a month long absence due to injury. With just three wins on the season, the Sun have dropped three straight and nine of their last 10 games.
Now, they face a Sparks team that's trending upward with three consecutive victories. Tabbed as heavy -275 moneyline favorites on the road, the Sparks will continue to rely on their core four—Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, Azurà Stevens, and Rickea Jackson.
Set to air on Amazon Prime Video, A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces (12-11, 5-7 away) will square off against Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever (12-12, 7-6 home). Slim +1.5-point spread underdogs at home, the Fever will continue to roll without Caitlin Clark, who's been sidelined with a groin injury.
Set to debut their 'Stranger Things' jerseys, the Fever are 4-7 without Clark this season. Having dropped two consecutive games against Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty—they get an Aces team that's won three consecutive games. 7-6 at home, the Fever will have a tall task today.
For the late-night matchup, the Chicago Sky (7-16, 4-6 home) will host the Seattle Storm (14-10, 6-5 away) in the Emerald City. Massive 9.5-point spread favorites on the road, Skylar Diggins is off the injury report. Coming off a surprising 87-63 defeat against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, the Storm get a Sky team who have a slew of injuries.
Ariel Atkins and Michaela Onyenwere will not suit up for today's game. In addition, Angel Reese is questionable to lace up for the Sky.
| Team vs Team | Moneyline | Spread | Totals |
|---|---|---|---|
| LA Sparks vs CT Sun | -275 / +220 | -6.5 / +6.5 | O/U 169.5 |
| Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever | -130 / +110 | -1.5 / +1.5 | O/U 164.5 |
| Seattle Storm vs Chicago Sky | -450 / +340 | -9.5 / +9.5 | O/U 157.5 |
If you're here to bet on the WNBA and women's sports, welcome! With a 34-32 WNBA betting record in July, let's finish out the month strong.
Set to tip-off at 7 p.m. ET features the Sparks vs Sun and Aces vs Fever matchup. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET, the Sky will face off against the Storm. All games are to be broadcast on the WNBA League pass, aside from the Aces Fever, which will be broadcasted on Prime Video.
My three best player prop bets for today will feature 'the bigs,' plus a popular Indiana Fever guard. Keeping my bank roll management in mind, I've placed all my bets separately between FanDuel and DraftKings Sportsbook.
Featured below are my top picks and predictions for the July 24 WNBA matchups!
Are you looking to bet on WNBA player props all season long? Here at Ballislife Bets, we've gathered a complete list of the best sports betting offers here.
GP: 19 | PPG: 22.4 | FG: 48.3 % | FT: 82.6 % | 3PT: 21.4 % | REB: 9.3 | AST: 3.3 | STL: 1.6 | BLK: 2.4
My first best bet for today, I placed one unit on Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson to record over 23.5 points against the Indiana Fever.
Yes, this line is slightly juiced at 23.5 points, especially given Wilson is averaging 22.4 points on the season. However, former South Carolina Gamecocks Aliyah Boston and Wilson love to battle in the paint. Therefore, who doesn't love this matchup? It's always competitive between the two.
Despite suffering an injury her right wrist, Wilson has been on a tear. Recording three straight double-doubles pre and prior All-Star Weekend, A'ja is averaging 24.2 points per game in the month of July. Mind you, that number should be higher given she was limited to 14 minutes against the Liberty due to injury.
We've seen Wilson have massive performances in July, erupting for 34 and 37 points against the Valkyries and Wings. Plus, she's been efficient from the floor, shooting 52.5 percent from the field over the last six games. Even with the addition of NaLyssa Smith, we've seen Wilson get some serious touches. With 25 field goal attempts alone against Dallas, A'ja has had massive shot volume (15 FGA) over this span.
I personally love this matchup for Wilson today. Although she's not a true center, Wilson has moved to the center position with the addition of frontcourt mate NaLyssa Smith. Even so, she's been efficient, soaring over this player prop line in three of her last four games (24.3 PPG).
Another factor I look at is the fact Wilson loves to perform against the Fever. Plus, it's a primetime game, on the road in Indiana. We are talking about a player who's averaging 21.7 points on the road. Sure, it's lower than the project prop line, however, A'ja Wilson is putting up the second most points against the Indiana Fever than any other team.
Dating back to 2023, Wilson has crushed this player prop line in eight of the last nine matchups against the Fever. Averaging 25.7 points over that span, this is a strong best bet today—the Fever allow the sixth most points to centers this season.
In two games against the Fever this season, Wilson is averaging 26.5 points, and shooting 43.6 percent from the field, and 82.6 percent from the free-throw line. Without Clark, the Fever simple haven't been the same team, and A'ja is averaging 11.5 free-throw attempts alone!
Overall, Wilson's putting up a massive 19.5 FGA per game vs Indiana this season. The elbow may be her sweet spot, however, Wilson is shooting over 70 percent from the restricted area. Liberty forward Jonquel Jones erupted for 18 points in just 23 minutes in her first game back from injury against the Fever. I love Wilson to follow suit here.
GP: 21 | PPG: 19.5 | FG: 46.8 % | FT: 75.8 % | 3PT: 36.4 % | REB: 1.8 | AST: 2.6 | STL: 0.9| BLK: 0.2
My second best bet for today, I placed one unit on Indiana Fever All-Star Kelsey Mitchell to record over 19.5 points against the Las Vegas Aces.
Without Caitlin Clark on the floor, Mitchell has been the most consistent, primary scorer, who's held things down in the backcourt alongside Aari McDonald.
Not only has Mitchell surpassed Clark as the Fever's leading scorer, she's been on an absolute tear as of late. Although this prop is a tad juiced at -130 odds, I absolutely cannot fade Mitchell here, especially at home. Fairly efficient on both the road and at home, Mitchell is putting up 19.3 points at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, shooting 51.4 percent from the floor, and 40.3 percent from beyond the arc in front of the Fever faithful.
Not to mention, she's one of the quickest, most crafty guards in the league. Excellent in backdoor cuts and in transition, she's a consistent, efficient, high volume scorer.
Of nine games in July, she's scored 20+ points in five of them, averaging 19.8 points per game over that span. Plus, how can we forget her recent 29-point performance against the New York Liberty?
Overall, Mitchell is averaging 20 points per game on the court without Clark.
If we look at the metrics, Mitchell has soared over this player prop line in five straight matchups against the Aces (22.4 PPG), and there's a strong reason for that. Although the roster is newly revamped from previous seasons, the defensively has struggled.
Ranking No. 9 in defensive rating (102), the Aces received some reinforcements on the glass after acquiring NaLyssa Smith. However, the Aces allow the sixth most points to guards, signaling this is a strong bet for Mitchell.
Over the last few games, Dream guard Allisha Gray (24 points) and Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale (20 points) crushed this prop.
As the Fever's bona fide top scorer, I'm riding the hot hand with Mitchell. In two matchups against the Aces, she's averaged 22.5 points, shooting an impeccable 58.3 percent from beyond the arc. As bettors know, the Aces have had difficulty containing the 3-point line at times.
Assuming Fever Head Coach Stephanie White will continue to feed Mitchell, shot volume and minutes isn't an issue. Over the last five games, she's shooting 56.5 percent from the field. I surely, can't fade this tonight.
GP: 23 | PPG: 17.5 | FG: 54.5 % | FT: 60.6 % | 3PT: 28.6 % | REB: 7.8 | AST: 3.7 | STL: 1.9 | BLK: 0.6
My third best bet for today, I placed one unit on Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby to record over 16.5 points against the Connecticut Sun.
The Sparks are finally starting to find their groove after a three game win streak over the Mystics and Sun. Now, Hamby and company get their second matchup with Connecticut in 11 days.
In her first game post All-Star break, Hamby exploded for 24 points and 14 rebounds against Mystics. With this, Hamby has been a crucial reason for the Spark's most recent success.
I personally feel this prop line is a tad low, especially since Hamby has clocked over 16.5 points in five of the last six games (20.3 PPG). No to mention, Latricia Trammell has joined Lynne Roberts coaching staff. Although Trammell has a focus on defense, Roberts has heavily utilized her core four in Hamby, Plum, Stevens, and Jackson.
Although a bit consistent from a betting perspective first half of the season, I strongly felt Hamby was a WNBA All-Star snub. She's showing that lately, recording back-to-back 24 and 26-point performances against the Mystics. Mind you, they have a strong frontcourt with Shakira Austin, Kiki Iriafen, and Aaliyah Edwards.
Averaging 22.3 points per game over the Sparks three game win streak, Hamby faces a Sun team who has the worst defensive efficiency in the WNBA (112.2). Although Tina Charles, Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Aneesah Morrow comprise the frontcourt, Connecticut has been a disaster defensively.
In one matchup against the Sun this season, Hamby erupted for 17 points in 34 minutes. In that outing, she shot 7-13 from the field (53.8 %), and went 3-4 from the charity stripe.
Not only does Hamby have the hot hand, she has one of the best matchups of the season. Although Plum is the team's leading scorer, she's coming off last matchup, where she left and came back with an ankle injury.
This season, the Sun have had trouble containing post players and forwards. In fact, we saw that last matchup, where Natasha Howard and Aliyah Boston combined for 28 points against the Fever.
Pre All-Star break, Storm frontcourt duo Nneka Ogwumike and Ezi Magbefor combined for 30 points alone!
BONUS BET: Sparks vs Sun OVER 168.5 Points (-110 FanDuel)
