But it’s even better when you can watch and cash some bets. So we’ll be looking to do that today.

Here are a couple of best bets for today’s WNBA action. Both games will be a part of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup.

Washington Mystics vs. Connecticut Sun

The Washington Mystics won in their first game of the season against the New York Librty, 80-64. Natasha Cloud added 14 points and shot 42.9% from the field for the Mystics.

Washington had an average offensive rating but looked good defensively, holding New York to 64 points. The Mystics assisted on 71.9% of shots made but struggled to do much of anything on the offensive glass. They’re also average on the defensive glass.

However, the Mystics shot an effective field goal percentage of 50%. If they can keep that up, they’ll be near the top of the standings this year.

Meanwhile, Connecticut defeated the Indiana Fever, 70-61, in their first game of the season. DeWanna Bonner added 19 points in that game, while Alyssa Thomas did most of the dirty work. Connecticut shot an effective field goal percentage of 34.8%. If that continues, Connecticut will have trouble consistently winning. Still, despite missing shots, the Sun added 38% of offensive rebounds. So they’re at least active on the glass.

I like Connecticut to shoot better and believe they’ll be much better on the offensive glass than Washington. Let’s back Connecticut at -1.

Bet: Connecticut Sun -1 (-110)
