Best Bets
MIN -4.5 (-115)
The Lynx and Sky are getting very familiar with each other early in the season, as Friday marks the third matchup between the teams in 11 days. Minnesota took the most recent meeting 85-75 and has clearly found its rhythm lately, winning three straight while owning one of the league’s best defensive ratings (101.2) and shooting a league-best 51.4% from the field.
Olivia Miles has looked completely comfortable running the offense as a rookie, while Natasha Howard has been dominant lately, averaging 24 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists over her last two games. Chicago, meanwhile, has dropped three straight since losing leading scorer Rickea Jackson to a torn ACL. The offense has still produced, but the defense has struggled badly, especially on the glass. I don’t think this becomes a blowout, but Minnesota simply looks like the more complete team right now.
Kahleah Copper 20+ Points (-104)
I’m loving this pick. The Mercury are currently on a four-game skid and are coming off another loss to the Liberty, who they face again tonight. Kahleah Copper didn’t shoot particularly well in that matchup, finishing just 33.3% from the field and 22.2% from three, but she still led Phoenix with 19 points.
That’s been the biggest issue for the Mercury lately: consistent secondary scoring. Copper, meanwhile, has remained extremely steady, scoring 18+ points in four straight games, including two performances with 20 or more. Facing New York again with Phoenix desperate for a win, I’m backing Copper to once again carry the offensive load.
Saturday, May 30
Seattle Storm vs. Toronto Tempo (1:00 p.m. ET) — TOR -4.5, O/U 168.5
Los Angeles Sparks vs. Connecticut Sun (6:00 p.m. ET) — Lines not available as of Friday morning
Indiana Fever vs. Portland Fire (8:00 p.m. ET) — Lines not available as of Friday morning
TOR -4.5 (-110)
The Tempo are coming off one of their best offensive performances of the season after shooting 56% from the field in a 111-104 win over Chicago. Nyara Sabally exploded for 29 points, while rookie Kiki Rice continues to settle in nicely as a secondary creator and scorer.
Seattle, meanwhile, is still struggling offensively, shooting just 41.4% from the field through eight games. The Storm continue to defend at a high level, but with Dominique Malonga sidelined due to a concussion, the offensive identity still feels shaky. I’m leaning toward Toronto’s offense continuing to carry momentum on Friday.
