WNBA Picks Today: Predictions for Spreads, Totals, & Prop Bets

Here are WNBA betting picks and predictions based on basketball odds for today’s schedule:

WNBA Picks Today: Tuesday, July 16

Best Bet: Sun +4.5 vs. Mystics (-115)

Sun vs. Liberty – 7 p.m. ET

» Bet the Sun spread at BetMGM

A battle of the top two teams in the league will take place on Tuesday. It’s a rematch from last Wednesday, when the New York Liberty secured a 71-68 road victory over the Connecticut Sun.

Even with the rematch in Barclays Center, I like the Sun covering the 4.5-point spread. This line is starting to get bet down in the market, as evidenced by the -115 vig to take the road underdogs.

The Sun have looked better against the best teams of late, highlighted by a 78-73 road victory over the Minnesota Lynx on July 4. Connecticut ranks second in defensive rating, and has the pieces to slow down Breanna Stewart and Co.

Connecticut is worth a bet to cover as long as this spread is +4 or better.

Best Bet: Sky vs. Aces Under 171 (-110)

Sky vs. Aces – 10 p.m. ET

» Bet the Sky-Aces total at BetMGM

Don’t look now, but the Las Vegas Aces are rounding info form.

During last year’s championship run, the Aces ranked first in offensive and defensive rating. They didn’t look nearly as dominant to start the season, losing six of their first 12 games while struggling to get stops.

This month, the Aces rank third in defensive rating. They have had three consecutive contests finish under the closing point total, ranging between 169.5 and 173.

The Chicago Sky have had three of their previous four games finish below the point total, with the highest mark over that span being 166.5.

If this total is 169.5 or better, the under is worth a bet ahead of tipoff.
