Los Angeles Sparks vs. Connecticut Sun

• Location: TD Garden in Boston, MA

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 20

• Coverage: Spectrum Sports Net/WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Sun -13 at bet365 

Dearica Hamby, O/U 17.5 Points at -115/-115 via bet365

• O/U 9.5 Rebounds at -130/+100 via bet365

The struggle has been real for the Sparks this season, but Hamby has done well in the lead role for the Los Angeles offense, averaging 18.3 points per game, up from 8.9 last year. Prior to the break, she scored 18+ points in four of her last five games.

But since returning from the break, she has averaged just over 11 points per game. She had eight against the Sun on June 18.

As for her rebound numbers, she is averaging 10.1 per game and has had 11, 9, and 13 since returning from the break. However, before the break, she had gone four in a row with nine rebounds or less; she had five in the June 18 game vs. the Sun.

The Sun defense has been since returning from the break. Despite that, we are leaning towards the UNDER for both markets with how Hamby has been playing.

Marina Mabrey, O/U 14.5 Points at +100/-130 via bet365

Mabrey had a solid debut with the Sun against Dallas (17 points) but was not nearly as good in her second game (vs. Dream, 11 points). The difference? She went 4-17 vs. Dallas and 7-12vs. Atlanta. The Dream has been okay on defense this season (No. 5, 80.7 points per game allowed), but we think she’ll bounce back against a poor Los Angeles defense.

Take the OVER.

Dallas Wings vs. New York Liberty

• Location: Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 20

• Coverage: NBA TV/WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Liberty -14 at bet365

Satou Sabally, O/U 16.5 Points at -115/-115 via bet365

Sabally made her long-awaited return for the Wings in their first game back from the break and had a solid outing (20 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists) against what should have been a good Connecticut defense (but wasn’t).

However, the Liberty defense is solid and has been playing lights out since play resumed. They held the Sparks to 68 points and the Aces to 67. If she were playing any other team, we’d lean towards the OVER. But against New York, take the UNDER.

Sabrina Ionescu, O/U 21.5 Points at -105/-125 via bet365

The Liberty clinched a playoff spot, but don’t look for them to take the proverbial foot off the gas. They haven’t locked up the No. 1 seed just yet. That means bettors should expect to see Ionescu on the court for 30+ minutes unless New York gets out to a massive early lead.

They could blow Dallas out of the water early, like they did vs. the Sparks last Thursday, leading to a short night for Ionescu (23 minutes) and 18 points. But then she played 36 in a more competitive game vs. the Aces and scored 23.

The possibility of an early exit is real for this game, but we are still leaning towards taking the OVER.

Jonuel Jones, O/U 10.5 Rebounds at -115/-115 via bet365

Jones is a top-five rebounder with 9.2 boards per game this season and had 17 in her last outing, Saturday against the Aces. But prior to that, she had gone four games in a row with less than ten rebounds. While she has averaged 10 per game over her last five, she’s averaging 9.1 for the season.

New York is one of the top rebounding teams in the league (No. 2 with 35.6 per game)., but Dallas has been one of the stingiest (No. 2 with 32.2 per game allowed). She has had less than 10.5 rebounds in four of her last ten games.

We are leaning towards the UNDER, but this one could go either way.

Seattle Storm vs. Washington Mystics

• Location: Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 20

• Coverage: Prime Video/WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Storm -7 at bet365

Jewell Loyd, O/U 22.5 Points at -115/-115 via bet365

While the Storm have gotten off on the wrong foot with two losses after the break, Loyd has been doing well on the scoreboard with 21 and 26 points, raising her season average to 20.4. In two previous matchups, she scored 24 points (May 19) and 18 points (May 25).

Loyd is one of the best shooters in the game today, going up against one of the worst defenses (No. 8, 84.2 points per game allowed). With the boost Washington will give her from the free throw line (only the Sky sends opponents to the free throw line more), we’re taking the OVER. 

Ezi Magbegor, O/U 11.5 Points at 11.5 Points at -115/-115 via bet365

Magbegor is a capable weapon for the offense, averaging 12.6 points per game. But she just hasn’t been too productive on the scoreboard lately. Going back to before the break, she scored less than 10 points in three consecutive games.

While she averaged 11.5 points per game during the Olympics for Australia, that number is as good as it is because of one 30-point game. She scored ten points or less in four of her other five games.

Washington has one of the worst defenses in the league, allowing 89 points per game since the break. However, Magbegor hasn’t played much of a role on the offensive side of the court lately, taking just five shots in the last two games.
