WNBA Best Bets, Picks & Predictions: Tuesday (6/13)

by |

Welcome to another day of the WNBA season. I'll write best bets for the day as the season progresses, so be sure to follow along. I'll be keeping track of my results all year, but really, I am just excited that there is another sport to bet on.

There is a lot to be excited about this year. I will be betting one unit on all bets, and make sure to shop around for your odds.

Let us look at the best bets for tonight’s games.

Last Time: 1-0
Season: 5-3

Tuesday’s Best WNBA Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Washington Mystics at Indiana Fever

I will preface that Elena Delle Donne is questionable for tonight's game with neck tightness. The Washington forward has been their leading scorer, averaging 18.6 points per game, with seven boards and three assists. 

Losing her scoring would be a blow to the Mystics. However, they showed their ability to step up without her last time out against Seattle, in part to  Natasha Cloud and Ariel Atkins' performances. Where Washington can shift their focus to their top-ranked defense, as they own a 90.3 defensive rating so far this year. Even if Delle Donne is out, the Fever sit at the bottom of the defensive rating list, so the Mystics should be able to figure out how to score.

Still, Indiana plays at the slowest pace in the WNBA. With Washington potentially missing their leading scorer - or having her banged up - going against a struggling offense that slows it down, the under is a clear play tonight.  

Bet: Under 157 (-110)

Atlanta Dream at New York Liberty

In New York, we have two teams dependent on their offense, as both teams have gone 5-2 over/under so far this season.

Breanna Stewart has continued to do Breanna Stewart things, averaging nearly 25 points per contest with two steals and 10 boards. Meanwhile, Allisha Gray, Cheyenne Parker and Rhyne Howard have been a solid three-headed attack for Atlanta, all averaging 16-plus points per game.

The Liberty are healthy and playing against an Atlanta team that will push the pace and lack defense. Atlanta will have to be shooting early and often each possession to keep up and avoid getting blown out. 

I know the number is high, but I am trusting the early season trends here and taking the over.

Bet: Over 169.5  (-110)
