In their last win against the Mercury, A'ja Wilson finished with a double-double (23 points, 15 rebounds), Jackie Young with 22 points, and Kelsey Plum with 20 points. In addition, all five of the Aces starters combined for a total of 13 steals. Here are some additional betting stats:

The Minnesota Lynx have a record of 10-12, and rank 7th overall in the WNBA. Dorka Juhasz, former UConn star, had 16 points and 10 rebounds against the Sparks. In addition, All-Star Napheesa Collier had 22 points, 8 rebounds, and Diamond Miller with 13 points and 7 rebounds. Overall, the Lynx rank 8th in points per game (79.1), 11th in 3-PT percentage (31.1), 8th in offensive rating (100.1), and 10th in defensive rating (107.2).

Why the Aces can cover.

Overall, the Aces are 3-0 against the Lynx, and Vegas had the most points scored in a game this season, and highest field goal percentage, in their previous matchup. In addition, the Aces dropped 113 points on Minnesota, and Kelsey Plum had a career-high of 40 points and 6 three-pointers made that night. In addition, Las Vegas had five players with points in double figures, in which they shot 60 percent from the field. On the contrary, Minnesota shot 56 percent from the three, 50 percent from the field, and had 6 players with points in double figures. Vegas covered the spread in all three games, including -11.5-, -17-, and -15.5-point spreads. Although Vegas didn't cover the -16.5 spread against the Mercury, I'm confident they will cover today with their head-to-head stats, and their overall dominance this year.

Connecticut Sun vs. Atlanta Dream UNDER 168.5 (-110)

The Connecticut Sun are 16-6, and have the 3rd best record in the WNBA. Although Connecticut lost Brionna Jones due to an Achillies injury in late June, they have All-Stars DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas. In their last win against Atlanta, Natisha Hiedeman led the way with 24 points and 4 steals. In addition, their starters had a combined 11 steals, and four players with points in double figures.

Why the Under can hit.

Ironically, the last time the Connecticut Sun and Atlanta Dream matched up was two days ago. Yes, Connecticut won 2 out of 3 matchups, and the over hit 2 times as well. However, I would like to provide you with enough information that the under should hit today. The current total for this game is 168.5, which is on the higher side. In their first matchup, the over hit, however, the game totaled 166 points. The second matchup hit the over with 180, HOWEVER, that game went into overtime. Connecticut has one of the best defenses in the WNBA, and unless this game goes into overtime, I don't like the over. Furthermore, their average point totals in their last 10 matchups is 159 points.

Dallas Wings: -7 (-110)

The Dallas Wings are 12-9 and have the 4th best record in the WNBA. In fact, Dallas is coming off a four-game win streak, in which they won the spread 3 out of the 4 games. The Wins are 3rd in total offensive rating (106.4), 1st in offensive rebounds (11.9), and 4th in points per game (85.4). In their impressive win against the New York Liberty, the Wings put 98 total points. All-Star Satou Sabally, Arike Ogunbowale, along with Teaira McCowan and Natasha Howard. In their last game against the Sparks, all four players had points in double figures, and McCowan had a double-double, with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Here are some additional betting stats:

*Media sourced from the Official Dallas Wings Twitter*

The Los Angeles Sparks are 7-14, and are riding a 7-game losing streak, in which they are 0-6-1 ATS. LA has been hit with injuries, and rank 10th in points per game (78.1), 11th in rebounds (32.7), and 10th in offensive efficiency (98). The Sparks last game against the Minnesota Lynx was a push, in which the Lynx were initially favored by -3. All-Star Nneka Ogwumike had her usual game, with 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals. Jordin Canada added 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block, while Layshia Clarendon added 11 points.

Why Dallas can cover.

Oddly enough the Sparks only have 7 wins, and 3 of them have come against the Dallas Wings. In fact, LA covered the spread in all three games. Whether this was pure luck, or the Sparks completely figured out the Wings gameplan, I am not sticking with the LA to cover for the fourth straight game. LA is on a 7-game skid and hasn't covered any spread since June 25th. In addition, Dallas is on a four-game win streak, and covered the spread against the the Aces (twice), and the Liberty, who are the top two teams in the league. It's important to note, Dallas covered both a +9.5 and +12 spread against the top team, the Aces.
