We’re roughly halfway through the WNBA’s 30th season, and the competition is as hot as ever. While the Lynx and Aces remain atop the standings with 16 wins, the Golden State Valkyries are right on their heels with the same number of wins and just one more loss. The Dream just snapped a five-game losing streak, while the Fever’s offense has been on fire.

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 10

Golden State Valkyries vs. Connecticut Sun (7:30 p.m. ET) — GSV -5.5, O/U 154.5

Dallas Wings vs. Toronto Tempo (7:30 p.m. ET) — DAL -7.5, O/U 178.5

Chicago Sky vs. Los Angeles Sparks (10:00 p.m.) — LAS -1.5, O/U 176.5

Best Bets

GS Valkyries -5.5

Golden State is on an absolute heater. After defeating the Tempo 83-75 on Wednesday, the Valkyries extended their winning streak to six games and continue to establish themselves as one of the league’s best defensive teams. They rank second in defensive rating (101.0) and first in opponent points per game (76.7). Gabby Williams has been a talented two-way force, averaging 15.0 PPG while adding 1.6 steals per game, while Veronica Burton continues to run the offense as the floor general, providing points, assists, and forcing turnovers.

The Sun have won three of their last five games, including an impressive victory over the championship-favorite Lynx, but they simply don’t have enough scoring firepower to consistently break through the Valkyries’ suffocating defense.

Azzi Fudd 15+ Points (+107)

Fudd hasn’t been the most consistent this season, but for a rookie, she’s shown flashes of offensive talent that should only improve with experience. Averaging 13.2 PPG, Fudd ranks among the top rookie scorers while shooting 47.1% from the field. She’s hit 15+ points in two of her last five games and now faces a Tempo team with plenty of offensive weapons but a defense that continues to struggle. Toronto allows the third-most points per game (91.3) and opponents are shooting 46.5% from the field against it (13th). 15+ points isn’t guaranteed, but I like the value and the offensive upside Fudd has shown.

Saturday, July 11

New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx (1:00 p.m. ET) — MIN -1.5, O/U 172.5

Portland Fire vs. Atlanta Dream (4:00 p.m. ET) — ATL -11.5, O/U 172.5

Phoenix Mercury vs. Las Vegas Aces (6:00 p.m. ET) — LV -10.5, O/U 173.5

Best Bets

NY vs. MIN Under 172.5 (-110)

New York has plenty of offensive talent with Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu leading the way, but the Liberty haven’t exactly been lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 87.8 points per game (7th). Now they face a Lynx team that is holding opponents to just 80.7 points per game, the best mark in the league.

Minnesota should also be without its leading scorer and rookie star Olivia Miles, leaving a significant chunk of offense on the bench. According to the DraftKings Sportsbook Stats Hub, seven of the Lynx’s last eight home games following a road win have gone under the total. It’s a niche stat, sure, but with one elite defense, a shorthanded Minnesota offense, and neither team playing at a blistering pace lately, I’m leaning toward the under.

Rhyne Howard 19+ Points (-123)

Howard has been a consistent offensive anchor alongside Allisha Gray this season, despite the Dream’s recent struggles. After a five-game losing streak, Atlanta bounced back with a win over the Storm, with Howard finishing with 19 points and four rebounds. Shooting 42.9% from the field, the 26-year-old also knocked down four threes, extending her streak of 4+ made threes to four straight games. Plus, Howard has scored 19+ points in each of those contests. If she continues her high volume from beyond the arc, her ability to score at all three levels should carry her over 19 points tonight.
