Dallas Wings v. Indiana Fever

• Location:  Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN

• Game Time & Date:  p.m. ET on Sunday, September 15

• Coverage: NBA TV

• Point Spread: Fever -8.5

Caitlin Clark, O/U 22.5 Points at -108/-12

O/U 3.5 Threes Made at -108/-122

If your initial reaction is, “22.5 points?” because she just had 18 Friday night and 16 on Wednesday, you’re not alone. However, before betting on the UNDER, think about this—those scores were against the Aces.

Vegas has had some issues on defense this season; they rank sixth in opponents points for the season at 80.5 points per game. They’ve been the fourth-best since the break, giving up 78.2 ppg. So, it isn’t shocking to see them contain a shooter like Clark.

But the Wings are not the Aces. They rank last in opponents points at 91.5 this season and, since the break—94.9 ppg.

Clark had 28/4/12 vs. the Wings in Dallas just a couple of weeks ago.  She set the single-game assists record against them on July 17 (24/6/19). Take the OVER on her point total. As for three-pointers, prior to the last two games vs. the Aces, Clark made 4+ in five straight games.

We’re leaning towards the OVER on this one, too.

Kelsey Mitchell, O/U 22.5 Points at -108/-120

Mitchell has been solid since the break, averaging 24.4 points per game, second in the league next to A’ja Wilson (26.5 ppg). While Clark had a rougher time vs. the Aces, Mitchell had 24 and 20 points. She demolished the Wings on Sept. 1, scoring 36 points to go with six rebounds and three assists.

Now, she did have just 13 points in the July 17 game, but we’re treating this s an isolated incident. She and Clark will get it done vs. the Wings. Take the OVER.

Sato Sabally, O/U 16.5 Points at -118/-110

Sabally was on fire when play resumed through the end of the month, averaging 19.8 points per game. But then September came. She started the month with a bang, scoring 25 points against Indiana. Then she had 12, 18, 12, 9, and 4 before bouncing back with 18 vs. Seattle.

She’ll benefit from playing Indiana’s lax defense and OVER her total.

Minnesota Lynx vs. New York Liberty

• Location: Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY

• Game Time & Date:  p.m. ET on Sunday, September 15

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Liberty -3

Sabrina Ionescu, O/U 3.5 Made Threes at +134/-180

Ionescu made four threes in her last two games. But prior to those games, you’d have to go to the other side of the break for the last time she hit 4+ (four of six games in July). While she is one of the better three-point shooters in the league, Minnesota has the stingiest perimeter defense (opponents threes allowed--30%).

If you took the OVER, we wouldn’t blame you, but we’re leaning toward the UNDER this time.

Napheesa Collier, O/U 19.5 Points at -115/-113

Collier is averaging over 20 ppg this year but has only scored 20+ twice this month. She’s scored UNDER 20 in six of 12 games since the break. When the Lynx played the Liberty earlier in the year, she scored 15 in both. It will certainly not be easy to score on the Liberty’s top-notch defense.

We’re leaning toward the UNDER.

Atlanta Dream vs. Washington Mystics

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

• Game Time & Date: 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 15

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Mystics -1.5

Rhyne Howard, O/U 18.5 Points at -114/-114

Howard started the month with a nice 19-point night (vs. Sparks) but then rattled off three 30+ point games (vs. Phoenix, Dallas, and Indiana) before coming back down to Earth vs. Minnesota (14) and Washington on Friday (11). The Mystics also contained her in the other two meetings (16 and 11).

Washington has had her number all season, and we think they’ll have it again tonight. Take the UNDER.

Brittney Sykes, O/U 13.5 Points at -114/-114

Sykes scored 20 vs. the Dream Friday night in Atlanta and had 18 in 14 minutes in the June 11 game (also in Atlanta). OVER, right? Not so fast. Sykes has been all over the place, scoring a season-high 28 points vs. the Sparks to a low of six vs. the Sky (Aug. 28) and Wings (Sept. 3).

The 20 on Friday vs. the Dream is encouraging, but the rest of the month is just the opposite (14, 13, 14, and 6). But we are leaning toward the OVER because of how well she’s played against Atlanta this season.

Phoenix Mercury vs. Chicago Sky

• Location: Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL

• Game Time & Date: 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 15

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Sky -1.5

Diana Taurasi, O/U 2.5 Made Threes at +140/-188

Taurasi is one of the better three-point shooters in the league, and with Copper out, it would not be shocking to see her take a few more shots. However, she has not had much luck lately from behind the arc. She’s made 3+ in one of five games this month and twice in her last ten games.

Chicago’s perimeter defense is solid. Take the UNDER.

Chennedy Carter, O/U 18.5 Points at -125/-104

Chicago has been in freefall since the break, losing 10 of 13 games, including the last two. With Reese out for the season, it becomes harder to turn things around, which they haven’t. Carter stepped up in the first game without Reese, scoring 28 points, but since then had 16 and 17 points.

Phoenix has not been a good defensive team this year, and they don’t need the win like Chicago does. That has us leaning towards the OVER despite her last two performances.

Connecticut Sun vs. Las Vegas Aces

• Location: Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, NV

• Game Time & Date: 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 15

• Coverage: CBSSN

• Point Spread: Aces -4.5

DeWanna Bonner, O/U 14.5 Points at -108/-120

Bonner’s offensive production has been on a steady decline for much of the season, yet she is somehow still the team’s leading scorer with 15.5 points per game this season. But since the break, she has averaged just 13.4.

It appears the team isn’t looking to her for offense much anymore; it doesn’t help that she isn’t even making 40% of her shots. With Brionna Jones and Marina Mabrey taking center stage lately, her role is declining even further. Take the UNDER.

Marina Mabrey, O/U 13.5 Points at -115/-113

While Bonner’s role is in decline, Mabrey’s has been on the rise. She’s averaging 15.1 points per game since the break and has gone OVER 13.5 in three of her last four games and eight of her last ten. She had 15 on Sept. 6 against the Aces; she’ll get at least that again. Take the OVER. 

A’ja Wilson, O/U 11.5 Rebounds at -140/+136

Bettors can usually feel good taking the OVER for Wilson’s point and rebound totals since she typically goes over them. But this month, her scoring totals have been all over the place, with 41, 30, 20, 27, and 15 points.

She’ll probably go over her point total tonight, but we can’t recommend one way.

However, she is still a beast on the boards, pulling down 17, 14, 8, 12, and 17. The eight came against the Sun, a good rebounding team, last week. But don’t expect them to slow her down; she pulled down 16 against the Sun on June 21. Take the OVER.

Los Angeles Sparks vs. Seattle Storm

• Location: Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA

• Game Time & Date: 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 15

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Storm -11.5

Dearica Hamby, O/U 12.5 at -122/-106

Hambry still leads the Sparks in scoring for the season, but the numbers have not been there lately. Since the break, she’s averaged just 12.6 points per game. She’s gone UNDER 12.5 in four of six games this month and in seven of 13 since the break.

Hamby scored six against the Storm last Wednesday. Take the UNDER.

Skylar Diggins-Smith, O/U 17.5 Points at -125/-104

While her season average is just 15 points per game, Diggins-Smith has taken on a more significant role on the offensive end of the court the last couple of games, scoring 26 vs. the Sparks last Wednesday and 21 vs. the Wings on Friday. It’s not much of a pattern, but we are willing to follow it.

Take the OVER.
