Back From the Break: Odds and Picks for Tuesday’s WNBA Slate
  • The matchup between the Washington Mystics (-6) and Connecticut Sun has the lowest point total of the night at 157.0 points.
  • Next up are the conference leaders; the Minnesota Lynx (-14.5) vs Toronto Tempo and Indiana Fever (-8.5) vs the Seattle Storm.
  • The late games feature the New York Liberty (-4) vs the Los Angeles Sparks and the Las Vegas Aces (-11.5) against the Portland Fire.

WASHINGTON – The WNBA returns on Tuesday with a five-game slate, beginning with the Washington Mystics as 6.0-point favorites over the Connecticut Sun. This game features a 158.0-point legal sports betting total, nearly 30 points lower than the next shortest game total from Tuesday night.

Connecticut Sun vs Washington Mystics Betting Lines

TeamSpreadMoneylineTotal
Connecticut Sun+6.0 (-110)+185O158.0 (-110)
Washington Mystics-6.0 (-110)-225U158.0 (-110)

This 158.0-point total is an absolute outlier, establishing a 27-point gap with other game totals. The total is saying that the East’s worst team, the Connecticut Sun (7-20), can’t score.

Connecticut ranks last in the WNBA with 80.0 points per game. Their Tuesday night opponent in the Washington Mystics are the only other team averaging less than 81 points per game (80.8 ppg), explaining the astonishingly low total between these two teams.

Toronto Tempo vs Minnesota Lynx Betting Lines

TeamSpreadMoneylineTotal
Toronto Tempo+14.5 (-110)+725O184.5 (-110)
Minnesota Lynx-14.5 (-110)-1300U184.5 (-110)

The WNBA’s top team in the Minnesota Lynx are 14.5-point favorites against the Toronto Tempo. There are heavy -1300 moneyline odds favoring the WNBA title favorites to continue their hot streak after the All-Star break.

With Napheesa Collier returning to a loaded lineup, the Lynx expect to crush the Tempo on Tuesday night. Take the -110 odds and back Minnesota on the 14.5-point spread.

East-Leading Fever Not Favored Enough Over Seattle Storm

The Indiana Fever are 17-10 and stand atop the Eastern Conference, yet are only 8.5-point favorites against the WNBA’s worst team in the Seattle Storm (6-23). Seattle’s lost six games in a row and have +285 odds to snap that losing streak on Tuesday night.

Indiana Fever vs Seattle Storm Betting Lines

TeamSpreadMoneylineTotal
Indiana Fever-8.5 (-115)-370O184.5 (-105)
Seattle Storm+8.5 (-105)+285U184.5 (-115)

An 8.5-point spread at WNBA betting sites is too generous. Back the Fever to cover (-115) and Caitlin Clark over 20.5 points at -110 odds.

New York Liberty vs Los Angeles Sparks Betting Lines

TeamSpreadMoneylineTotal
New York Liberty-4.0 (-110)-170O183.5 (-110)
Los Angeles Sparks+4.0 (-110)+145U183.5 (-110)

The New York Liberty are 4.0-point favorites with LA’s Kelsey Plum ruled out. However, the Liberty are 1-8 against the spread as a road favorite this season.

The under at 183.5 points is the bet in this matchup, considering the Sparks are 3-11 without Plum this season. Los Angeles beat New York with Plum in the lineup earlier this season, but without her, the best bet is on the under.

The Las Vegas Aces are heavy -625 favorites on the moneyline against the Portland Fire in the final game of the night. The Fire have to make their threes to cash their +430 moneyline odds.

Portland Fire vs Las Vegas Aces Betting Lines

TeamSpreadMoneylineTotal
Portland Fire+11.5 (-115)+430O179.0 (-110)
Las Vegas Aces-11.5 (-105)-625U179.0 (-110)

Portland ranks fifth in made threes and fourth in three-point attempts. On the other side, Las Vegas ranks 12th in three-pointers made and opponent three-point percentage. Bet the 179.0-point total to go over at -110 odds.
