This weekend’s WNBA slate brings plenty of competitive matchups as the Commissioner’s Cup continues. The Minnesota Lynx currently sit atop the Western Conference Cup standings with two wins, while the Mystics, Liberty, and Fever each have one win and are tied atop the Eastern Conference standings. With several key Cup matchups on deck, this weekend’s action could go a long way toward shaping the race for a spot in the championship game.

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

Friday, June 5

Connecticut Sun vs. Chicago Sky (7:30 p.m. ET) — CHI -6.5, O/U 164.5

Dallas Wings vs. Los Angeles Sparks (10:00 p.m. ET) — DAL -1.5, O/U 178.5

Phoenix Mercury vs. Portland Fire (10:00 p.m. ET) — POR -2.5, O/U 161.5

Best Bets

CHI -6.5 (-115)

Chicago is in the middle of a five-game skid, largely stemming from the loss of Rickea Jackson to a torn ACL. The Sky’s offense has struggled lately, averaging just 78.0 points per game over its last three contests, and injuries continue to thin out the roster. Still, Connecticut hasn’t fared much better.

The Sun own the league’s lowest-scoring offense (75.5 PPG) while allowing the third-most points per game to opponents (88.4). Both teams have offensive issues, but Chicago has the edge defensively thanks to Kamilla Cardoso’s rim protection and rebounding. It should be a low-scoring game, but I’m backing the Sky to cover.

Kelsey Plum Over 2.5 Three Pointers Made (+122)

Plum is probable to return Friday after missing time with an ankle injury, and before going down, she was shooting a blistering 48.8% from three. The matchup isn’t ideal against a Wings defense allowing just 31.7% from deep, but Plum’s volume and shooting ability are hard to ignore.

If the ankle limits her ability to attack the rim, she could lean even more heavily on her perimeter game. In what projects to be a high-scoring matchup, I’m backing Plum to knock down at least three triples at plus money.

Saturday, June 6

Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx (1:00 p.m. ET) — MIN -12.5, O/U 157.5

Golden State Valkyries vs. Las Vegas Aces (3:00 p.m. ET) — LV -4.5, O/U 168.5

Washington Mystics vs. Atlanta Dream (6:00 p.m. ET)  — ATL -9.5, O/U 160.5

Indiana Fever vs. New York Liberty (8:00 p.m. ET) — NY -2.5, O/U 174.5

IND vs. NY Under 174.5 (-110)

Taking the under in a game featuring Caitlin Clark, Breanna Stewart, Satou Sabally, and Kelsey Mitchell may seem backwards, but hear me out.

The Liberty’s offense hasn’t looked quite as dominant lately. With Sabrina Ionescu still sidelined, New York is averaging 87.6 points per game over its last three contests, and while the Liberty dropped 97 points in their last outing, that came against the Tempo, the league’s second-worst defense. Indiana presents a tougher challenge, ranking seventh in defensive rating and holding opponents to 45.6% shooting from the field.

The Fever haven’t exactly been lighting up the scoreboard either, averaging 85.0 points per game over their last three and failing to top 90 points since their overtime win over the Mystics. I’m expecting a competitive game, but I’m leaning toward the under.
