The WNBA All-Star break is right around the corner, but before the league takes a breather, we’ve got a full slate of competitive games this weekend. The Lynx continue to sit atop the standings with 19 wins, but Golden State is right on their heels. Meanwhile, the Liberty are holding onto a playoff spot with 13 wins, while the Sparks and Fire remain on the outside looking in.

Let’s go over the WNBA odds for Friday and Saturday’s games and I’ll provide my best bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Friday, July 17

Atlanta Dream vs. Toronto Tempo (7:30 p.m. ET) — ATL -8.5, O/U 181.5

Los Angeles Sparks vs. Chicago Sky (7:30 p.m. ET) — CHI -1.5, O/U 182.5

Seattle Storm vs. Indiana Fever (7:30 p.m. ET) — SEA -9.5, O/U 176.5

Connecticut Sun vs. Phoenix Mercury (10:00 p.m. ET) — PHO -4.5, O/U 163.5

Best Bets

ATL Dream -8.5 (-115)

After losing five games in a row, the Dream have turned things around by winning two of their last three, including a 101-92 victory over Los Angeles on Monday. While the talent on the roster is definitely there, with Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard both averaging 18+ PPG, they’ve struggled against suffocating defenses, dropping three games to Golden State during that five-game skid. On Friday, they’ll get a much softer defensive matchup against Toronto, a team allowing the second-most points per game in the league (91.5).

While the Tempo have plenty of offensive firepower with Marina Mabrey leading the way, they’re still without veteran Brittney Sykes, who remains sidelined with a foot injury. If Toronto were fully healthy, I’d lean much more toward the Tempo covering. However, they’ve averaged just 83.3 PPG (10th) over their last three games compared to Atlanta’s 94.0 PPG (3rd), giving the Dream the edge in this matchup.

Nneka Ogwumike 18+ Points (-128)

The Sparks forward has carried the offense with Kelsey Plum sidelined, averaging 17.3 PPG and 8.8 RPG. Despite back-to-back losses, Ogwumike has scored 18+ points in each of her last four outings, including 23+ points in three of those games. Her efficiency has also been off the charts, shooting 51.7% from the field over her last five games, highlighted by a 10-of-16 performance against the Lynx on Monday. Facing a Sky team that owns the league’s 11th-ranked defensive rating (107.8), I’m loving the value on Ogwumike to keep her scoring streak alive.

Saturday, July 18

New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever (8:00 p.m. ET) — NY -1.5, O/U 173.5

Portland Fire vs. Minnesota Lynx (8:00 p.m. ET) — MIN -11.5, O/U 171.5

Washington Mystics vs. Golden State Valkyries (8:30 p.m. ET) — GSV -8.5, O/U 148.5

Best Bets

Olivia Miles Over 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-124)

*Note: Olivia Miles (ankle) is questionable with an ankle injury.

How many times will I write about how impressed I am by Miles? The rookie star has become just that for the Lynx: a star. Sliding seamlessly into the starting point guard role in Minnesota, the TCU product is averaging 19.3 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 6.7 APG, and 1.3 SPG, solidifying herself as a true two-way threat. While she’s currently dealing with an ankle injury, Miles still totaled 27 PRA on Wednesday in just 26 minutes on the floor. Plus, over her last five games, the 23-year-old is averaging 31.8 PRA. I’m backing her on Saturday, but to be honest, I’ll back her on most nights to ball out.

WSH vs. GSV Under 148.5 (-115)

Golden State continues to make a name for itself as a defensive goliath on the brink of topping the WNBA standings. With just seven loses on the season, the Valkyries own the best defensive rating (100.2) and allow the fewest amount of points per game to opponents by a wide five-point margin (76.1 PPG). The only other team who’s allowed less than 75 points over their last three? The Mystics. Washington is allowing 72.0 points per game over the same stretch, while scoring the least amount of points (70.3 PPG). Coming off of a rough 29% shooting night on Thursday and playing a tough defense in Golden State is a recipe for the under in my book.
