Cappers Sports Picks - The Experts

2-Unit Play: Take #631 Las Vegas over Golden State (9:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 7 Peacock)

Las Vegas needs a win to keep its bid for back-to-back WNBA championships on track. The Aces have a veteran roster that understands the stakes and has experience playing in tough road environments. Golden State has a strong home-court advantage at Chase Center, but Las Vegas has the composure and experience to handle the pressure. Look for the Aces to come out on top and even the series at one game apiece.

5-Unit Play: Take #625 New York +4.5 over Atlanta (2 p.m., Sunday, October 4, ABC)

The Liberty enter this matchup riding back-to-back wins over Minnesota, the best team in the regular season. After eliminating the Lynx, New York now faces an Atlanta team that I consider a step down in competition.

All three regular-season meetings were blowouts, with Atlanta taking two of the three. However, the Liberty won in Atlanta, and they're playing much better basketball heading into this matchup. They also come in rested after their impressive finish against Minnesota.

I expect a competitive game that comes down to the final possessions, making the points valuable with a confident New York team. Take the Liberty with the points.

2 Unit Play — Take #619 Indiana over Las Vegas (9 p.m., Thursday, October 1, USA Network) This winner-take-all matchup should come down to the wire. The top seeds have struggled throughout the playoffs, with the No. 1 seed eliminated and the No. 2 seed pushed to a decisive Game 3. The defending champions are under pressure, and Indiana appears to be playing better basketball right now. Indiana has won three of the last five meetings with Las Vegas, with only one of those two losses coming by a lopsided margin. I’m backing Indiana to advance.

7-Unit Play: Take #611 Minnesota over New York (8:30 p.m., Tuesday, September 29, CNBC). Minnesota faces a must-win situation, and I don’t see the league’s best team getting swept by the No. 8 seed. New York has shown its age this season, and I’m skeptical it can repeat Sunday’s performance. The Lynx went 18-4 on the road this season, proving they can deliver away from home. New York’s recent losses have come by margins of 18, 11, 9, and 7 points—all exceeding tonight’s posted number. Expect Minnesota to dig deep, respond with a strong effort, and come out on top.

2 Unit Play. Take #606 Golen State over Dallas (9p.m., Sunday, September 27 USA Network) The Valkyries got us on Thursday when they did not play well but we will back them again on Sunday. They have beaten Dallas 6 straight games and only one of those games was below a 5 point deficit.

4 Unit Play. Take #610 Indiana over Minnesota (8p.m., Tuesday, September 22 ESPN) This game means something to both teams and thus I expect them to go all out to try and win it. Indiana wants homecourt in the first round of the WNBA playoffs and Minnesota wants to No. 1 overall seed. The Fever are coming off a no-show last game and expect them to come ready to play for 40 minutes in this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #604 Phoenix +5.5 over Dallas (10p.m., Monday, September 21 USA Network) The final week of the WNBA regular season has arrived with it ending on Thursday. Dallas is trying to get out of the eight seed, but I do not see them blowing out the Mercury in this game. I expect it to go down to the wire and we will grab the points.

2 Unit Play. Take #650 Golden State over Seattle (9p.m., Saturday, September 19 Prime Video) Golden State has been one of the surprise teams this season and I see them beating Seattle for the third time this season. The Valkyries won big and the Storm got blown out in their first game back.

4 Unit Play. Take #623 Los Angeles over Seattle (5p.m., Sunday, August 30 League Pass) The Sparks have won 4 of the last 5 meetings and the Storm are just 2-8 in their last 10 games overall. Los Angeles has shown a little bit of life of late winning 2 of their last 3 games.

7 Unit Play. Take #645 Seattle +8.5 over Dallas (4p.m., Sunday, August 23 NBA TV) The Storm have been competitive during the month of August. Seattle has won just one game in August, but they largest margin of defeat is in their last 4 losses has been 7 points. Dallas is coming off their biggest win of the season, and I can see a letdown for them in this game. The last time these two teams met, it is was a 112-110 Dallas victory in overtime. Seattle has taken come of the top teams to the wire and they will be up for playing this game. Dallas is without Azzi Fudd and that is a major void for them to overcome and will eventually catch up to them. The Wings are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and that includes 3-7 ATS. Expect a single digit game that is competitive and we will grab the points with the underdog.

5 Unit Play. Take #636 Washington +2.5 over Minnesota (7:30p.m., Friday, August 21 ION) Minnesota is sandwiched in between Golden State games tonight. They also have some players out for this game. Washington has been a surprise team this season and I see them winning this game at home.

2 Unit Play. Take #627 Indiana -2.5 over Dallas (8p.m., Thursday, August 20 Prime Video) Dallas has fallen apart during the second half of season. Now they lost Azzi Fudd for the season and this team will be lucky to hang onto the No. 8 seed in the playoffs. The Fever have a chance to move up No. 2 seed and I see them winning this game on Thursday night.

3 Unit Play. Take #622 Las Vegas over Atlanta (9p.m., Tuesday, August 18 ESPN) Las Vegas has won 7 straight games against Atlanta and 9 of the last 10 overall. They have beaten the Dream twice this season with both wins coming in Atlanta. The Dream are coming off a tough loss to the Fever on Sunday, a game that went into overtime. I do not see them having much left in the tank for this game and Vegas will pull away and win this game by double digits.

7 Unit Play. Take #660 Seattle over Portland (10p.m., Friday, August 14 ION) The Storm are not as bad as their record would indicate and playing an expansion team at home should allow them to win two straight games. Portland has not played a road game since July 28th, and they went 2-3 on their five game homestand. The Fire give up a ton of points and that will bite them in this game. Seattle has yet to beat Portland this season, but all 3 games were close, and the Fire are not good enough to beat them 4 straight times. Seattle breaks through and wins this game by double digits. Seattle was favored at Portland on 8/8 and that tells me the books believe they are the more talented team.

2 Unit Play. Take #656 Las Vegas -5.5 over Washington (10p.m., Thursday, August 13 Prime Video) The Aces ended the long winning streak for the Mystics last time out. Expect them to beat them for a second time in a row by double digits.

2 Unit Play. Take #630 Washington -1.5 over Phoenix (3p.m., Sunday, August 9 League Pass) The Mystics have been playing well of late and will enter having won 6 straight games. They have beaten better team than Phoenix during this stretch and they will take care of business at home. The Mercury are an old team and playing on the road will catch up to them at some point in this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #625 Seattle over Portland (8:30p.m., Saturday, August 8 NBA TV) Seattle has lost 10 straight games yet they are only a 1+ underdog in this game. The books want you to take Portland, we will side with the traditional power in Seattle.

4 Unit Play. Take #605 Dallas over Washington (7:30p.m, Wednesday, August 5 League Pass) These teams met on Friday in D.C. and Washington came out on top in that game. The Wings got back on track against Connecticut on Sunday and they will win this game by close to double digits.

2 Unit Play. Take #656 Chicago over Phoenix (9p.m., Monday, August 3 USA Network) Chicago has been playing better of late winning two straight games. Even their losses have been competitive as they have not been blown out in a game since July 10. They beat Phoenix last time out by 11 points and I see them coming out on top in this game. Phoenix made a big trade this weekend, but they are still an old team with very little chance to make the playoffs.

3 Unit Play. Take #651 Minnesota over Seattle (10p.m., Monday, July 20 USA Network) The Storm are coming back from a long road, and they only won one of those five games. They were close in the last 3 but I see them coming out flat tonight. Minnesota has gotten back to their winning ways and will enter tonight having won 5 straight games. I see them scoring a ton tonight and winning this one by double digits.

2 Unit Play. Take #635 New York over Indiana (8p.m., Saturday, July 18 CBS) Indiana played a hard-fought game last night and I expect New York to be the fresher team in this game. Indiana may rest some starters, and they played terrible on defense last night giving up 107 points to Seattle.

7 Unit Play. Take #632 Indiana over Seattle (7:30p.m., Friday, July 17 ION) The Storm will be a get-well game for the Fever. Indiana has won five straight games against Seattle including a double-digit victory on May 17th this season. Seattle is 6-20 overall and 2-12 on the road. The Storm are 1-5 in July and this will be their fifth straight road game.

5 Unit Play. Take #616 Toronto +2 over Washington (7p.m., Tuesday, July 14 NBA TV) Washington should not be favored in this game, as they are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. Washington has won both games this season, but they came by a combined 4 points and I see Toronto pulling one out on Tuesday. The Tempo got back on track beating the Liberty on Sunday and they can score points that I am not sure the Mystics will be able to match. Washington is better as an underdog, as they are 0-3 ATS in their last three games when they are favored.

2 Unit Play. Take #605 Chicago +9.5 over Dallas (7p.m., Sunday, July 12 ESPN) We will grab the points in this game. Chicago can score points and at some point in this game they will make a run and keep this game in single digits. Dallas just finished a long road trip and sometimes when that happens the team comes out flat in their first half game. We look for that to happen on Sunday.

2 Unit Play. Take #652 Las Vegas -9.5 over Phoenix (6p.m., Saturday, July 11 Peacock) A’ja Wilson is back for the Aces and I see them winning this game by double-digits. Las Vegas has won 8 of the last 9 meetings against Phoenix and this will be a double-digit victory against an aging team that is not playing well this season.

7 Unit Play. Take #636 Atlanta -10.5 over Seattle (8p.m., Thursday, July 9 Prime Video) Atlanta owes us one after they fell apart on Saturday against Golden State. They have lost 5 straight games including a 15 point loss to Seattle during this streak. Yet the oddsmakers make them a double digit favorite in this game and are begging the public to take Seattle. We will not bite and expect a 20 point victory for the Dream. The Storm are the worst team in the Western Conference, and they are just 2-9 on the road. Atlanta is 6-3 at home and they are just too talented to not put away this rebuilding team at home.

2 Unit Play. Take #631 Minnesota -6.5 over Connecticut (7:30p.m., Wednesday, July 8 USA Network) Minnesota has some injury issues and thus this number is lower than what it should be. Connecticut beat Minnesota on Monday and they are one of the worst teams in the league at 5-16. Don’t think they can beat them twice in a row and thus we will back the Lynx on the road.

3 Unit Play.  Take #620 Washington +6 over Golden State (7:30p.m., Monday, July 6 League Pass) Just see a letdown for Golden State on Monday, playing their second straight road game. The Valkyries had an emotional win on Saturday against Atlanta, and I see them coming out flat in this game. Washington also beat Atlanta last time out and they will enter this game having won 2 straight games. I see this game going down to the wire and we will grab the points.

4 Unit Play. Take #615 Dallas over Toronto (3p.m., Sunday, July 5 League Pass) The Tempo are not the same team without Brittney Sykes, as she is battling a foot injury. Toronto has lost 5 of their last 7 games and 4 of those losses have been blowouts. I see Dallas winning this game by close to double digits.

8 Unit Play. Take #612 Atlanta -4 over Golden State (1p.m., Saturday, July 4 CBS) WNBA GAME OF THE YEAR Atlanta is desperate for a win, and I feel Golden State has been overvalued all season long. The Dream have lost 4 straight games including a pair to the Valkyries in the Bay Area before the break. Atlanta is happy to be at home after all 4 losses have come on the road. Atlanta is 6-2 at home this season and they have played 4 more road games than home games this season. Golden State is 3-4 on the road and they have played 7 more home games compared to road games in 2026. Golden State does not have the offensive firepower that Atlanta does, and they will get hot at some point and win this game by double digits. Atlanta will right the ship and put together a complete game for 40 minutes.

2 Unit Play.  Take #607 Minnesota -2 over New York (7:30p.m., Friday, July 3 ION) The Lynx being favored on the road tells me a lot in this game. New York is coming off a Commissioner's Cup victory this week and made some cash in the process. I see a letdown in this game against a rested Lynx team that has the best record in the league. Minnesota is 9-1 in road games this summer. This is the first meeting this season and Minnesota has beaten New York 3 of the last 4 times they have met. The Liberty faced a depleted Aces team last time out and that will not be the case tonight. Minnesota is strong on both ends and want to make a statement in this game. The Lynx are 8-2 in their last 10 games.

2 Unit Play. Take #608 Toronto -6 over Phoenix (2p.m., Saturday, June 27 CBS) Phoenix has bad mojo at the moment and for most of the season. Alyssa Thomas is suspended for this game and Toronto is coming off their best game of the season. Look for a double digit victory by the home team.

2 Unit Play. Take #658 Toronto over Los Angeles (7p.m., Thursday, June 25 Prime Video) Both teams have injuries, but I see a letdown in this game for the Sparks. Los Angeles is coming off a buzzer beating win over the weekend in a game that marked the 30th anniversary of the start of the league. They lost Kelsey Plum in that game and that will eventually catch up with them starting tonight.

2 Unit Play. Take #650 Golden State over Atlanta (10p.m., Wednesday, June 24 USA Network) The Valkyries are the more desperate team in this matchup and need this victory to get back on track. Golden State still gets respect from the oddsmakers and they have a strong home court advantage. Atlanta has beaten up on Indiana and Toronto and I see a letdown for this in this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #608 Los Angeles +9.5 over Minnesota (10p.m., Wednesday, June 17 League Pass) This line is just too inflated. Minnesota will likely not make the Commissioners Cup unless Las Vegas loses tonight. Los Angeles is not a push over and playing at home should allow them to keep this game in single digits.

7 Unit Play. Take #646 Minnesota -14.5 over Portland (8p.m., Monday, June 15 League Pass) The Lynx are upset that they saw their losing streak end on Saturday in Las Vegas. They had some tough calls go against them in that game and I see them taking out their frustrations on Portland tonight at the Target Center. Minnesota plays hard and tries to win every game and they are facing a sinking ship in Portland. The Fire have lost 4 of 5 games and three of those losses have come by over tonight’s posted number. They are a young team without a superstar, and they are facing a team that is 5-1 at home this season. This will get ugly early and I see it as a 20 points victory for the Lynx. Minnesota is 11-2 ATS on the season.  

2 Unit Play. Take #635 Minnesota over Las Vegas (8p.m., Saturday, June 13 CBS) These are two of the top teams in the WNBA. The Lynx have won 8 straight games heading into this one. Minnesota has also beaten Las Vegas in 6 of the last 7 games. They should be able to take this game down to the wire on Saturday.

2 Unit Play. Take #630 Washington -2 over Toronto (7:30p.m., Friday, June 12 ION) Washington needs this win more and they will beat Toronto for a second time this season. The Mystics already won a game in Toronto on May 8th, and I see them taking care of business at home. Toronto is well coached and likely will make the playoffs this season but they are not the desperate team in this game.

7 Unit Play. Take #626 Dallas -6.5 over Phoenix (9p.m., Thursday, June 11 Prime) Phoenix got old quickly and they will struggle against some of the better teams in the league Dallas is young and upcoming and they will put the string off their blowout loss behind them tonight. Phoenix can only beat the bad teams in the league, and I see them losing this game by double digits tonight at the College Park Center. The Wings have won 4 of their last 5 games and all of those 4 wins came over tonight’s posted number. The two teams are heading in opposite directions, and we will lay the points tonight with the better team at home.

2 Unit Play. Take #602 Toronto over Chicago (3p.m., Sunday, June 7 League Pass) Just do not like the way Chicago is playing at the moment. They could not put away a terrible Connecticut team at home last time out. The Sky have lost 5 of their last 6 games and I see them losing this game by close to double digits on Sunday.

2 Unit Play. Take #635 Phoenix over Seattle (10p.m., Wednesday, June 3 USA Network) This line does not make much sense, and it appears the odds makers want you to bet Seattle. We will not bite and back Phoenix in this game. The Mercury laid an egg on Monday, but we expect them to get back into the winner’s circle on Wednesday against one of the worst teams in the league.

7 Unit Play. Take #624 Phoenix +3.5 over Minnesota (10p.m., Monday, June 1 NBCSN) This is a make-or-break game for Phoenix. They are back home after a rough road trip and are desperate for a win, having lost 5 straight games. For the most part they have been competitive this season and I feel they will be able to take this game down to the wire. Minnesota is still without their best player who got injured in the playoffs against Phoenix last season. The Lynx have beaten up on Chicago during their winning streak, but now are playing the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last season. Phoenix has won 3 of the last 4 games against Minnesota and they will grind out a much-needed victory on Monday night.

7 Unit Play. Take #651 Toronto +5.5 over Chicago (8p.m., Wednesday, May 27 League Pass) Chicago has only been a favorite one time this season and that came opening night. They have been an underdog five straight games and I am not sure they are good enough to be laying this many points against anyone in the league outside of Connecticut. Toronto has been decent this year as an expansion team, but they are coming off their worst performance of the season, getting blown out at home against Portland. That was their second straight blowout, but I expect them to bounce back on Wednesday after 3 days off and be able to take this game down to the wire. The Tempo have been competitive or won the game in their previous 5 games before these last 2 games. I see this being competitive tonight and we will grab the points.

2 Unit Play. Take #647 Connecticut over Golden State (10p.m., Monday, May 25 League Pass) The Sun are terrible this season, but I believe that they can keep this game in single digits. The Valkyries flew back from the east coast losing their last game and the Sun have been on the west coast playing two straight games in Seattle. Connecticut has had 3 days off and I feel they can take this game down to the wire and be competitive for the full 40 minutes.

6 Unit Play. Take #639 Phoenix over Atlanta (3p.m., Sunday, May 24 League Pass) I always like to back Phoenix with their veteran lineup. They are desperate for a win after losing 2 straight home games (favored in both). Dogs have been hitting earlier in the W and we will grab the points on Sunday afternoon (two underdogs won straight up on Saturday). Phoenix lost all 3 games to Atlanta last season, but I do not believe Atlanta is a consistent team that can handle prosperity. I see this game going down to the wire and we will come out on top with whoever wins this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #635 Portland +5.5 over Toronto (6p.m., Saturday, May 23 League Pass) Dogs have been biting of late and we will ride an underdog in this matchup of expansion teams. Both teams got blown out in their last game, but the Fire have an extra day of rest leading into this game. I think it goes down to the wire and we will grab the points.  

2 Unit Play. Take #622 Minnesota -6.5 over Toronto (8p.m., Thursday, May 21 League Pass) The Lynx are coming off a bad home loss to the Sky, and I see them getting back on track Thursday night against an expansion team. Minnesota is 0-2 at home this season and I look for that to change on Thursday. The Tempo are finishing up a 4 game road trip and I see them losing this one by double digits.

2 Unit Play. Take #602 Minnesota -4.5 over Chicago (7p.m., Sunday, May 17 League Pass) Chicago had to open the season with 4 straight road games and this is their last one. They have held their own thus far, but I see them finishing this trip with a 2-2 record. Minnesota is well coached and I look for them to jump out early in the season like they did last year.

6 Unit Play. Take #611 Chicago -5.5 over Portland (9p.m., Saturday, May 9 NBA TV) The WNBA is back in Portland, and it should be an exciting night to see their team back in the league after folding more than two decades ago. That being said, this is a rebuilding team that is last in most sites power rankings, and this team should be in for a long year hoping to get a top play in next year’s draft. Chicago is in win now mode and getting rid of Angel Reese will help the team chemistry. They will be better on offense, and I see them winning this game by double digits against a true expansion team.

2 Unit Play. Take #623 Minnesota over Phoenix (8p.m., Sunday, September 27 ESPN) Just not ready to throw a dagger to the best team in the regular season. They are without Napheesa Collier and their head coach and thus we are getting a lot more points than the game 3 line. Just feel Minnesota will use an us against the World tactic and take this game down to the wire.

7 Unit Play. Take #617 Las Vegas over Indiana (7:30p.m., Friday, September 26 ESPN) Indiana will have the home crowd behind them tonight, but I just believe they are too banged up to win this game. This is only a 5 game series and it is 1-1, so Las Vegas cannot afford to take this game lightly, as a loss by the Aces would set up two must win games. Indiana is already without Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham and now Lexie Hull is a game time decision. Both games have been blowouts, and I see Las Vegas pulling away at some point in this game and winning it by double-digits. The Aces coaches and players do not like the Fever and all the attention they get, and they will take it out on then tonight.

2 Unit Play. Take #616 Las Vegas over Indiana (8:30p.m., Tuesday, September 23 ESPN) This is a classic situation where the home/better team dominates to even up this series at one game apiece. Indiana got the game they were hoping for on Sunday and now will just focus on game 3 and game 4 back in Indianapolis. I highly doubt Kesley Mitchell is going to go off in this game like she did on Sunday scoring 35 points.

7 Unit Play. Take #636 New York Liberty over Phoenix Mercury (8p.m., Wednesday, September 17 ESPN) The line is fluctuating due to injuries for New York, but I do not expect that to matter. I feel this is a must win game for New York as well, as they do not want to have to fly back to Phoenix for a winner take all game on Friday. Phoenix has been struggling down the stretch losing 4 straight games and in 3 of those losses they were the favorite. They are an old team and many of their players failed to show up in game one of this series. The Liberty have played without Stewart before, and they are 17-5 at the Barclays Center in 2025. If the Liberty can stabilize this game early, they should be able to pull it out, as the Mercury seem to struggle in close games.

2 Unit Play. Take #634 Seattle over Las Vegas (9:30p.m., Tuesday, September 16 ESPN) It ends tonight! Seattle has talent and sooner or later pride will kick in with them. They should be able to take this game down to the wire at home and I see the Ace’s winning streak coming to and end tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. I feel it is easier to bounce back from a blowout and that is what happened on Sunday night.

7 Unit Play. Take #630 Las Vegas Aces over Seattle Storm (10p.m., Sunday, September 14 ESPN) We will not overthink this and ride the team that has won 16 games in a row entering the 2025 playoffs. Seattle has been one of the most disappointing teams in the league this season and I expect them to be a quick out come Tuesday. Las Vegas has a variety of way they can beat you (inside/out) and if they make shots from the arc they are the best team in the league. Las Vegas has won 7 of the last 10 matchups in this series and they have far and away the best player on the floor in Aja Wilson.

3 Unit Play. Take #621 Las Vegas -10.5 over Los Angeles (10p.m., Thursday, September 11 NBA TV) This is just a classic case of one team having a lot of play for and one team having nothing to play for. The Aces need to win to clinch the No. 2 seed and be guaranteed home court in round two of the 2025 WNBA Playoffs. The Sparks were knocked out of the playoffs earlier in the week and it would not surprise me if they sat some key players in this game. Finally, Las Vegas has won 15 games in a row.

3 Unit Play. Take #606 Indiana over Minnesota (7:30p.m., Tuesday, September 9 ESPN) The Lynx have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the WNBA Playoffs and I feel they will not be playing to win this game tonight. Indiana still has a chance to change their seed and thus this game means more to them tonight.

7 Unit Play. Take #605 Los Angeles over Atlanta (7:30p.m., Wednesday, September 3 League Pass) The Sparks are fighting for the playoff lives currently on the outside looking in. They trail the Fever by one game in the standing but are tied in the loss column. They have a chance to make it with Indiana struggling but they must play well tonight in Atlanta. Los Angeles has not beaten Atlanta in over two years, but this is the best they have been playing during this stretch. The Sparks have won two straight games and even in their losses of late they have been very competitive. The Dream have had trouble scoring points of late when not facing the bottom teams in the league and that is something the Sparks can do well. Just see this game going down to the wire and getting around a touchdown is too good to pass up. Los Angeles will play with desperation tonight and I always like to back a team in this situation.

2 Unit Play. Take #625 Dallas +17.5 over Minnesota (8p.m., Monday, September 1 NBA TV) The Lynx have already clinched the No. 1 seed for the upcoming playoffs. I do not see them putting forth an all-out effort in this game and thus we will grab the points.

2 Unit Play. Take #624 Indiana over Seattle (7p.m., Tuesday, August 26 CBSSN) Just do not trust Seattle against a playoff team laying points on the road. The Storm has beaten up on Washington, Dallas, and Chicago to get back on track. Despite those 3 wins, they are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. Indiana needs to get back on track after playing 2 games against Minnesota and I see them playing much better tonight in front of their home fans.

3 Unit Play. Take #610 Washington over Las Vegas (3p.m., Saturday, August 23 League Pass) Las Vegas is on a long winning streak, but most of that damage has come at home. Washington has been embarrassed in back-to-back game and look for them to show some pride in this game. The Mystics should be able to take this game down to wire.

3 Unit Play. Take #612 Golden State +4 over Atlanta (8:30p.m., Sunday, August 17 NBA TV) The Dream are in the midst of a long road trip and I see them struggling to put away a pesky Valkyries team. Golden State has a great home crowd advantage, and they will enter this game having won 4 straight games.

2 Unit Play. Take #602 Minnesota over New York (2p.m., Saturday, August 16 CBS) The Lynx just do not lose games and both teams will be without their superstar. Thus I feel Minnesota has the better team when that is the case and they beat New York last Sunday in the Big Apple.

2 Unit Play. Take #631 Las Vegas over Phoenix (10p.m., Friday, August 15 ION) The Aces are playing well now having won 5 straight games. They have beaten the Mercury in 8 of the last 10 meetings. Phoenix has struggled against the better team in the league of late and I see this one going down to the wire.

7 Unit Play. Take #624 Seattle over Atlanta (10p.m., Wednesday, August 13 ESPN3) Seattle needs wins and they will not continue to lose games. The Storm have lost 5 straight games, but they have all been competitive with the biggest margin of defeat being 4 points during this losing streak. Seattle beat Atlanta in the last meeting, and I see them winning this game by 7-9 points. These are two equally matched teams and when that is the case I always like to play the team that needs it more.

4 Unit Play. Take #622 Las Vegas over New York (9:30p.m., Wednesday, August 13 ESPN) The Aces are catching the Liberty at the right time, less than 24 hours after they won in Los Angeles. Now they must fly and play a team desperate to improve their seeding come the WNBA Playoffs next month. Breanna Stewart is out for this game.

4 Unit Play. Take #602 New York over Minnesota (12:30p.m., Sunday, August 10 ABC) Minnesota has won two straight games without their MVP, but facing the defending champions on the road in an early game will be too much for them to overcome on Sunday. The Lynx struggled to put away the Mystics last time out at home and they will lose this game by double digits.

6 Unit Play. Take #628 Golden State over Los Angeles (8:30p.m., Saturday, August 9 League Pass) I have not given up on Golden State this year. They still have a good chance to make the playoffs and losing back-to-back games on Las Vegas is not the end of their successful season. Golden State has a huge home crowd advantage, and this is their second straight home game. Los Angeles struggled to put away Connecticut in their last game and now they must travel up the coast to play a team that is desperate for a victory. This game should go right down to the wire and getting the points is the correct side.

2 Unit Play. Take #624 Las Vegas -1 over Seattle (10p.m., Friday, August 8 ION) The Storm have lost 3 straight home games and now must travel to face the Aces in a game that will involved playoff seeding. Both teams have a 16-14 record, but one team is trending up and the other team is trending down.

2 Unit Play. Take #613 Atlanta -10.5 over Chicago (8p.m., Thursday, August 7 Prime Video) Chicago has been blown out numerous times this season and usually you know early if it is going to be one of those games. Atlanta has a chance for a top 4 seed and needs to win these type of games if they are to accomplish that. The Sky are still without some key players and they have no chance of making the playoffs come September. The Dream have won all 3 games against the Sky this season by 37, 13, and 18 points.

7 Unit Play. Take #614 Seattle over Minnesota (10p.m., Tuesday, August 5 League Pass) The Lynx are coming off the most impressive road victory in the history of the WNBA and should be in for a letdown tonight against a desperate team. Now we throw in the fact the likely league MVP Napheesa Collier. Seattle is 1-1 this season against the best team in the league with a double-digit home victory on June 11. The Lynx have 5 games to play with in regards to the best record in the league and this is a game I feel they will sacrifice for the greater good. Seattle is battling for a better seed and has a strong starting lineup. They do not want to fall to .500 at home this season and they will pull away at some point in this game and win it by double-digits.

2 Unit Play. Take #630 Las Vegas over Golden State (6p.m., Sunday, August 2 League Pass) The Aces got embarrassed yesterday and now must play back-to-back days. This line has moved from -4 to -8 and that is a reg flag and we expect them to win by double digits. The books are begging you to take Golden State, but we see value with the chalk.

7 Unit Play. Take #604 Minnesota over New York (8p.m., Wednesday, July 30 ESPN) The Liberty will not able to compete against the top teams in the league without Breanna Stewart. She is their best player and very hard to replace. The Liberty are coming off back to back losses against bad teams in Dallas and Los Angeles. Now they must face the top team in the league that is angry, coming off a bad home loss to Atlanta. Minnesota thought they were cheated out of a WNBA Championship last year and they will be determined to make a statement in this game. New York is the defending champions and thus that still garners respect from the odds makers. This line should be double-digits and we will have a strong play with the home squad at this number.

2 Unit Play. Take #629 Las Vegas over Los Angeles (10p.m., Tuesday, July 29 NBA TV) The Aces have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league for 2025, but I have not given up on them. They still have the best player in the league and expect them to be up for this game facing a former championship teammate. Each side has won one game against the other this season and expect the Aces to win the rubber game tonight. A’ja Wilson is the best player in the league and I always like siding with that when this is a close matchup.

2 Unit Play. Take #620 Minnesota -8 over Atlanta (7p.m., Sunday, July 27 NBA TV) The Lynx is the best team in the league, and I see them taking care of business at home against the Dream on Sunday night. Minnesota has beaten Atlanta 6 straight times. They are catching the Dream at the right moment, as this will be their sixth straight road game. Atlanta is ready to get home, and I see them losing this game by double-digits.

7 Unit Play. Take #629 Las Vegas over Indiana (7p.m., Thursday, July 24 Prime) The line is already baked in the Indiana injury situation so we do not need to go into detail about that. The posted number has gone up this morning and I just feel the Aces will bounce back from one of their worst games of the season on July 3. They lost by 27 points, scoring just 54 points. Before that game they had beaten the Fever 9 straight times. The Aces have been playing better of late and will enter this game having won 3 straight games. Look for them to make it 4 in a row tonight in Indianapolis.

2 Unit Play. Take #617 Chicago over Minnesota (8p.m., Tuesday, July 22 ESPN3) These two teams have played a bunch of late, as this will be their fourth meeting since July 6th. All 3 games have been competitive and stayed below the morning line for this game. Chicago even won 1 of the 3 meetings and I believe that they can take this one down to the wire as well. Look for an all-star hangover from Minnesota, as they just go through the motions in this game and win it by 8-10 points.

7 Unit Play. Take #610 Seattle over Golden State (3p.m., Wednesday, July 16 League Pass) Just do not believe Seattle will lose to Golden State for a third time this season. The Storm look to close out the first half with a 14-9 record and a winning record at home. The Valkyries have had an impressive season thus far, but they are still looking toward the future and thought they got jobbed in their last game against the Mercury on Monday. They have now lost 4 of their last 5 games and I see them struggling to keep this game in single digits. Seattle is just a better all-around team and have more weapons on both sides of the court.

2 Unit Play. Take #631 Phoenix over Golden State (10p.m., Monday, July 14 League Pass) Still believe that they Valkyries are overachieving and are not as good as their 10-10 record would indicate. Phoenix is loaded on offense, and they are 14-6 on the year including going 5-3 on the road. They have some injury issues and thus they are an underdog tonight, but we saw last week with Las Vegas, teams can overcome that at the start. Tonight, will be no different, as we like the Mercury to win this game straight-up.

10 Unit Play. Take #614 Indiana Fever over Atlanta Dream (7:30p.m., Friday, July 11 Prime) WNBA GAME OF THE YEAR Just refuse to believe that the Fever will play this bad again in game 2 of Caitlin Clarks return. They could not do anything right on Wednesday and now find themselves below the .500 mark and need this win especially since it is at home. The Fever matchup well with the Dream, as they have won 6 of the last 8 meetings. Indiana still ranks high in offense and if they can keep the Dream off the boards, it should be enough to earn this much needed victory at home. Atlanta shoots it just at 42.9% on the season and Indiana is a strong team guarding the arc. The metrics favor Indiana and we are getting a couple of points value with how bad they played on Wednesday. In professional sports I always like to play a team after a rough outing, as these are pros and expect a big bounce back by the more desperate team in this game. Atlanta is just 2-3 in their last 5 games including a loss to Dallas, the worst team in the league.

2 Unit Play. Take #611 Las Vegas over Washington (7:30p.m., Thursday, July 10 Prime Video) The line is baked in that Aja Wilson will not play in this game, but I feel Las Vegas will still win this game. The Aces need to accumulate wins to assure they make the playoffs come September and I feel they have enough talent to win this game against a surprising but still rebuilding team.

2 Unit Play. Take #606 Phoenix over Minnesota (3:30p.m., Wednesday, July 9 League Pass) Phoenix getting this many points at home is too good to pass up. The Mercury are 8-3 at home this season and should be able to take this game down to the wire. The first game these two teams played this season with a 3-point game in the desert and that is how I see this one being played as well.

3 Unit Play. Take #628 New York over Las Vegas (8p.m., Tuesday, July 8 ESPN) The Liberty did not show up in the third quarter on Sunday and took down our top play because of it. Now we get a similar number and expect them to take care of business against Las Vegas on Tuesday. The Aces are not as strong as they have been the last 3 years and opponents get up playing against them. That will be the case on Tuesday as the Liberty will play a complete game to win and cover this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #606 Atlanta over Seattle (7:30p.m., Thursday, July 3 League Pass) Both of these teams had a nice break, and I expect the Dream to take care of business at home. Atlanta is still not getting much respect when facing top teams in the league despite a top 4 record in the league. The Dream won the only meeting with the Storm in 2025 and that was a true road game. The underdog has covered the spread in the last 4 meetings between these two teams.

7 Unit Play. Take #621 New York (pk) over Atlanta (3p.m., Sunday, June 29 ESPN3) These are two of the top teams in the league for 2025, but the Liberty have owned this series winning 8 of the last 9 meetings. New York has lost 3 of their last 4 games and got down big on Friday and were never in the game against Phoenix. Atlanta has lost 2 straight games and that included an overtime game on Friday against Minnesota. That likely took a lot out of them and I expect them to be flat for this game on Sunday. The Dream have really beaten up on bad teams this season to achieve their record and the Liberty would not fit into that bill. They are the defending champions and I see them bouncing back on Sunday, as they do not want Minnesota to get too far ahead for the best overall record.

7 Unit Play. Take #616 Phoenix -1.5 over New York (10p.m., Friday, June 27 ION) The line has shifted to towards the Mercury, as they will enter this home game having won 5 straight games. One of those wins came against the Liberty, a team that will enter this game having lost 3 of their last 4 games. Then throw in the fact that Jonquel Jones is out for this game and that is a major void for New York going forward in games. Phoenix is 6-2 at home this season and 9-6 ATS overall. They have beaten New York two of the last three games and tonight they have the better talent in this game.

2 Unit Play. Take #603 Connecticut over Las Vegas (10p.m., Wednesday, June 25 NBA TV) This is just too many points to be giving in a regular season WNBA game. This is a get-well game for Las Vegas, but they are not the same team they have been the last 3 years. I see this being a 12-15 point game and we will grab this big number. The Aces have Wilson back, but they have lost 5 of their last 7 games straight-up.

2 Unit Play. Take #622 Dallas over Atlanta (8p.m., Tuesday, June 24 League Pass) Atlanta struggled to put away Chicago (until the last minute) on Sunday and I do not see them blowing out the Wings on the road. Dallas has talent and size and sooner or later they will put it together to become a competent team. Atlanta has played a super easy schedule thus far and I believe they are not as good as their record indicates.

2 Unit Play. Take #611 Chicago over Atlanta (3p.m., Sunday, June 22 ESPN3) Chicago could not have started any worse yesterday but did play better in the fourth quarter and I look for that to carry over into this game. Getting this many points is a lot and expect Atlanta to just go through the motions and win this game by 10-12 points.

6 Unit Play. Take #608 Chicago over Phoenix (1p.m., Saturday, June 21 ABC) Just do not believe Phoenix is one of the elite team that should be good enough to lay this many points on the road. The Mercury have played twice as many home games than road games and the last 10 games between these two teams is split 5-5 (5-5 ATS as well). This was a 5 point game when these teams met earlier this season and I feel this game will go down to the wire as well.

3 Unit Play. Take #606 Las Vegas over Seattle (10p.m., Friday, June 20 ION) The Aces need to dig deep to not let their season slip away. The season series is 1-1 with both games being in Seattle, but Las Vegas has won 8 of the last 10 games. Getting them as an underdog is too good to pass up.

5 Unit Play. Take #610 Washington +4 over Atlanta (2p.m., Sunday, June 15 CBS Sports Network) Atlanta seems to play to their level of competition and thus I see this game going down to the wire. The Mystics are 4-6 on the season and that is surprisingly good as they are in a rebuild. They did beat the Dream in the first game of the season and I see them taking this game down to the wire.

3 Unit Play. Take #626 Seattle over Minnesota (10p.m., Wednesday, June 11 League Pass) Seattle will knock off Minnesota from the unbeaten list tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. Skylar Diggins scored 26 points last time out and expect another big performance from her on Wednesday. These teams met earlier this season in Minneapolis and it was just a 5-point game. I see this one going down to the wire as well with the Strom covering another meeting.

2 Unit Play. Take #619 Golden State over Los Angeles (10p.m., Monday, June 9 League Pass) The Sparks just are not good enough to be laying this many points against any team in the league. Kelsey Plum cannot carry a team, and Golden State has been sneaky good for most of the season. The Valkyries pounded the Aces over the weekend, and I feel that they can take this game down to the wire as well on Monday.

7 Unit Play. Take #604 Phoenix -6.5 over Golden State (10p.m., Thursday, June 5 League Pass) The Valkyries have held their own thus far in 2025, but they are coming off three straight games against WNBA Finals teams and that will take it toll on them for this game. The Mercury are 5-3 on the season and they have beaten the bad teams in the league. They have just two losses to Minnesota and one loss to Seattle on the year. They are due for a double digit no sweat type of game and I feel it will come tonight. Golden State is not a strong offensive team ranking in the bottom in field goal percentage and that is not a recipe for success when playing on the road.

7 Unit Play. Take #618 Dallas Wings -1.5 over Chicago Sky (8p.m., Saturday, May 31 League Pass) The line dropped with the absence of Paige Bueckers but I feel the Wings are the better team playing at home. Chicago struggles to score points and I feel that they will have a letdown after getting their first victory on the season against this same team on Thursday. Dallas will be the more desperate team on Saturday, and they also have the best player on the floor in Arike Ogunbowale, a volume shooter that came up big on Thursday. If she has another good game tonight the Wings will win.

3 Unit Play. Take #611 Atlanta +5 over Seattle (10p.m., Friday, May 30 ION) I truly believe the Dream are the more talented team and have a variety of offensive weapons. Atlanta will enter this game having won 3 straight games and they are 2-1 in road games this season. Seattle traded away their best player from 2024 and I see this game going down to the wire.

3 Unit Play. Take #606 Chicago over Dallas (8p.m., Thursday, May Prime Video) It ends tonight! The Sky will record their first victory in the season against a similar team that is just 1-4 on the season. All the issues with the Sky will be forgotten for one night and we expect to collect with the home underdog.

7 Unit Play. Take #621 Las Vegas Aces -5 over Seattle Storm (6p.m., Sunday, May 25 League Pass) We will follow the line movement with top play in the padded sports bra league on Sunday. All-time great Jewell Loyd returns to Seattle, and we expect a double-digit victory by the visitor on Sunday. Vegas struggled last time out against Washington, but I see them putting it together with a double-digit victory tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. The Storm has played a soft schedule this season against two teams that will likely not make the playoffs come September. Vegas still believe they are the best team in the West, and I see them winning today in an emotional return.

4 Unit Play. Take #615 Dallas over Atlanta (3p.m., Saturday, May 24 CBSSN) Both teams like to get up and down the court and I expect Dallas to be able to dictate the pace of this game as they search for their first victory on the season. Atlanta was playing at State Farm Arena on Thursday facing Indiana, now they are back in their smaller gym and expect a letdown in this game. Dallas has talent and I see them being competitive in this game and taking it down to the wire.
