Game 4 of the WNBA Championship Finals from the Barclays Center in New York. Las Vegas can win their second consecutive title with a win here tonight as they lead this series 2-1. The Liberty looking to send this series back to Vegas for a decisive game five. Vegas is led by A'ja Wilson who averages 23.8 ppg and Kelsey Plum's 19.8 ppg. The Aces will be without their star guard in Chelsea Gray, who injured her foot. That's a huge loss to this Aces team. The Liberty are led by Breanna Stewart and her 19.3 ppg and Jonquel Jones and her 18.2 ppg. Vegas is 5-2 ATS their last seven games while New York is 3-8 ATS their last 11 games. Vegas went to a six-point dog once Plum was ruled out for this game. Still, lots of firepower left for Vegas and getting that many points just too much to pass on. I'll take Vegas and the points here tonight.

Game 3 of this WNBA best of five series plays in Uncasville, Connecticut with the teams tied at 1-1. Connecticut took game one, 78-63 at New York then lost game two 77-84. Connecticut has covered the first two games as 8.5 and 8.5 point dogs. The NY Liberty shot just 34% from the field in game one before a 45% night in their win in game two. The Sun have covered the first two of the series and while the line has dropped here in game three, I like the Sun to even win this game outright. The Sun are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games with 2 days of rest. They have also covered five of their last seven at home vs the Liberty. I'll take another shot here with Connecticut.

The Connecticut Sun are like a cat with nine lives. They are now 4-0 in elimination games this playoff season. And now they face another one here in game four. The Sun pulled away in the 4th quarter of game four for an easy win to keep the series alive and force another game. So here we are, game four. A win and we go back to Vegas for a decisive game five. I like the Sun to once again show they are not an easy out. Take the Sun to force game five.

The Las Vegas Aces on the verge of bring a first ever major championship banner to Las Vegas as they sit 2-0 in this best of five series. However, Connecticut might still have something to say about the outcome. The Sun have the leagues top 3 offense and defense. The Aces got out to an early lead in game two and never looked back as they cruised to the easy. It would be easy for the Sun to give it up here as they now have to win three straight and that has never happened in this playoff format. Still, I believe their is something left in the tank and they won't go down easy. I'll take a shot with the Sun tonight.

 Game two of this best of five series has the Aces up one game to none. The Aces jumped out to a big lead in game one but found themselves fighting from behind in the 2nd half to finally take the win, but not cover the 6-point line. The first game was a defensive battle and that was expected as the Sun are top 3 in the WNBA in both offense and defense. The Aces struggled at times in their Seattle matchup and a few of the games came down to the wire. In fact, an OT win by Vegas that Seattle could have easily won changed the tide in that series. The Sun have covered 10 of their last 11 road games and are 17-5 ATS overall their last 22 games. Vegas has covered just one of their last five home games and are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 WNBA Championship games. I'm taking the points with the Sun tonight and won't be shocked if they steal game two.

 Both these teams putting on a great show in the playoffs as the LV Aces can wrap up the West and a spot in the finals with a win tonight. However, Seattle has proven way tougher in the postseason then in the regular season where LV took three of four games. Seattle could easily be the one looking to advance tonight after that heartbreaking loss in OT in game three. Vegas had to tie it up with just under two seconds remaining in regulation to force an OT or this is a different series heading into tonight. Will Seattle be able to come back here tonight after that heartbreaking game three loss? I believe they will. They have played great in all three games and given Vegas all they can handle. I look for this series to go the distance after Seattle wins tonight.

Chicago has had the Connecticut number all season, going 4-0 against the Sun. The last two games winning by three points. Chicago has also covered three of their four matches. These two teams are about as evenly matched as any two teams in the playoffs have been. Their games seem to come down to the final moments. Everyone seems to be siding with Chicago in this one as they have always came out on top against the Sun. I, however, will be on the Sun tonight. I look for them to finally get a win at home against the Sky. You can make a case by the numbers for either team, this one is based on my own numbers and experience. I'm taking Connecticut to pull this game out.

Game three here in the Western Semi-Finals is a dog fight as the Aces and Storm are tied at one game each. The Storm shocked the Aces in game one by stealing that game on the Las Vegas home court. So that means home court back in the Storm's court now. The Aces have averaged 90.4 ppg this season, much higher than the 78.4 ppg that the Storm have allowed. Breanna Stewart has been amazing for the Storm, as she had 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in game two vs Washington in round one. The Aces have a dominant team, and while I believe we saw the best the Storm could do in game one, I like them to stay close here today with Stewart unstoppable. The Storm are a 1-point home favorite for a reason and I believe that's because they are going to win this game. Take Seattle.

The Las Vegas Aces took the overall first place as the best team in the regular season. Then their head coach, Becky Hammon, was named Coach of the Year. The only thing missing, a WNBA Championship and the Seattle Storm are standing in their way. The Aces are coming off a 1st round sweep the Phoenix Mercury, taking game two by 37-points. Seattle also had little trouble in their opening round with the Washington Mystics, sweeping them in two games. The Aces have won three of the four meetings with the Storm this year. While Vegas had their way with Seattle in the regular season, this isn't the regular season. One person the Aces wish they had was Dearica Hamby. Hamby injured her knee back on August 10th vs the Atlanta Dream and will miss today's contest. Some generous points here today to be had with the Storm. Would I be shocked by a Storm upset today? No, but I'll take the points and look for them to be close at the final buzzer. Take Seattle.

Not many gave the Liberty a chance in this series. Especially the home crowd. The Sky could have won the first two games at home and this game at NY would never have been. Instead the Liberty took game one at Chicago as a 9-point dog and the split on the road gets them the home game tonight. Chicago is the defending WNBA champion, so don't expect them to fold under the pressure tonight. They reminded everyone of just that with a 32-point blowout win in game two of this series. Chicago had the 2nd best road record in the WNBA so playing here in NY tonight shouldn't bother them. NY is the team with no pressure tonight, but for me, I know the Sky are the much better team and they won't let this road venue bother them. I'll lay the points with Chicago.

Game one of the best of three tonight in Chicago has the Sky hosting the NY Liberty. Chicago is looking to be the first back-to-back champions as they begin defense of their 2021 crown. The Liberty are led by record setting guard Sabrina Lonescu who was the first player with 500+ points as well as 200+rebounds and 200+assists. The Sky can't overlook the Liberty in this series. The Liberty had the 2nd best defense rating over the last two weeks. Chicago was 3-1 S/U vs the Liberty this year, however the Liberty owned the spread record at 2-1-1 ATS. I believe this line is too high for a very good defensive team like New York. I'll take the Liberty plus the heafty points here tonight.

The WNBA down to just a handful of regular season games. Eight teams will make the playoffs and New York needs to win out to really have a shot. The Liberty are 13-20 on the season and tied for 9th in the league. They are just a half game behind the final playoff spot held by Atlanta. That means wins are imperative for the club. Meanwhile Dallas has clinched a playoff spot with a 17-16 record. The Wins are in 6th place and look to be locked into that spot as they trail 5th place Washington by two games. The Wings look to have nothing to play for these final games while the Liberty will be playing for their playoff lives. I'll take New York plus the points here today.

 The LA Sparks currently sit in 6th place in the WNBA with a 12-14 record. They have won two straight games, beating the Fever 86-79 and then the Dream last game, 85-78. These teams met not long ago with the Aces winning 79-73. As for the Aces, they were in first place a good part of the season, but have since dropped to 2nd with a 19-8 record. Las Vegas has been inconsistent of late, losing three of four games before getting back on track and winning three straight. They have split their last two games, losing at home to the Atlanta Dream as a double digit favorite, 76-92. That has been an issue for this team, their inconsistent play. So laying these kinds of points as they are tonight is difficult to do. I'll take the points with the Sparks. Play LA

Just one game on the WNBA slate tonight and that's the Atlanta Dream playing at the NY Liberty. Both these teams fighting for one of those last playoff spots as the Liberty are in 7th place with a 8-10 record and the Dream are in 9th place with a 8-11 record. The Liberty have won two straight, including their game over the Dream 89-77 at Atlanta. This back-to-back series now changes venues to New York. Atlanta has lost three straight games and seven of their last eight games. New York is 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall games and 7-0 ATS vs the WNBA Eastern Conference teams. The Liberty playing much better here of late. I'll lay the points with New York.

The No 4 and No 5 teams in the WNBA meet tonight as the 4th place Seattle Storm host the 5th place Washington Mystics. Seattle has won seven of their last 10 games but has just a 1.6 Point differential this season. The Washington Mystics are 5-5 in their last 10 games and have a better +4 point differential. What I believe is the key to this game tonight is the No 1 defense in the league by Washington. These teams are pretty even, but I can take the best defensive team getting points I will take that. Play Washington.

The Washington Mystics are 2nd overall in the WNBA with a 4-1 record, just behind 5-1 Las Vegas. The Mystics are outscoring their opponents by 9.4 ppg this year. The Mystics only loss coming at home to the Dallas Wings, 86-94. Atlanta also having a good season thus far, off to a 4-1 record and tied with Washington. The difference is in points differential where Atlanta has just a +2.8 ppg differential. They Mystics have pretty much owned the Dream, going 5-2 ATS in their last seven trips to Atlanta and 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 overall meetings. I'll lay the short points here tonight with the Mystics.

Opening day of the season for both these teams as the Connecticut Sun take on the Liberty from New York. The Suns have been hot vs the number, covering their last 11 of 16 games. Meanwhile the Liberty are just 3-8 ATS their last 11 in the Eastern Conference and 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. The Suns have also done well in this series, going 5-1-1 ATS their last seven meetings. Not a lot to go on early, but the Suns look to be very good again this season while I don't see a lot of improvement in the Liberty. Play Connecticut Sun.

Opening game of the regular season for both teams here tonight. The WNBA preseason is only a couple of games so it's difficult to get a handle on these early games. The Storm were 2-0 in their preseason, beating LA 81-68 and Phoenix, 82-78. Minnesota Lynx opened preseason with a loss to Washington, 66-78 and then a win over Las Vegas, 89-86. Minnesota has to take the long trip West here tonight. Taking last season into the picture I will take Seattle here tonight and lay the points.

The Chicago Sky have taken a 2-1 lead in the WNBA Finals after a decisive win in game three at home. I had the Sky in game three and they didn't disappoint me. In fact, I believe the Sky have been the best team in all of the WNBA playoffs and if not for that OT they would have won all three games. Still, it's 2-1 Sky and they are at home will they will get that great support again here on Sunday. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sticking with the Sky here in game four. Play Chicago Sky.

WNBA finals took a few days off after game one which saw the Chicago Sky take a 1-0 lead over the Phoenix Mercury after a 91-77 win. The Sky got hot at the end of the season and beat the WNBA best regular season team in Connecticut to advance to the finals. The Sky are averaging 83.3 ppg and allowing 81.9 ppg. Kehleah Cooper is leading the way for the Sky averaging 14.4 ppg. The Phoenix Mercury beat the WNBA's 2nd best regular season team in Las Vegas to advance. They average 82.1 ppg and allow 79.5 ppg. Chicago has impressed these entire playoffs. However, the Suns have too and I look for them to even this series here tonight. Phoenix has a 0-5-1 O/U record in their last six home games.   Play Phoenix and the UNDER.

The Minnesota Lynx have to be happy facing the Indiana Fever. The Lynx have faced the Fever twice this month and beaten them twice. The last was a 90-80 win. The Fever are horrible, posting a 6-24 record, 2nd worst in the WNBA an now having an eye on the offseason. The defense has been horrible, allowing at least 86 points in each of their last five games. Minnesota is 20-10 and have scored at least 89 points in each of their last four games. Laying 9-points on the road not usually something I like to do, but this should be an easy blowout win tonight. Play Minnesota. 

The Seattle Storm are the defending champions, but they are in the middle of a fight here in the WNBA. They trail first place Connecticut by 3.5 games, 2nd place Las Vegas by 2-games and are ahead of 4th place Minnesota by just a half game. Then they have Phoenix just 1-game back. So every game as we head down the stretch is important. They win here tonight.

The LV Aces know that in order to win the WNBA they have to be more focused early in games. Lately that hasn't been the case as they have gotten off to some slow starts and found themselves fighting from behind late in the game. They trail Connecticut by just 1.5 games for the WNBA's best record. They know what they need to do and they get it done here tonight.

The Connecticut Sun are the best team in the WNBA with a 20-6 record as we head toward the end of the regular season. Home court is important and they currently lead 2nd place Las Vegas by 1-game. The Sun have won nine of their last 10 games. The Sun have covered five of their last six games (all as a favorite). Washington Mystics are in 9th place, one game back of the 8th and final playoff spot. The Mystics are just 2-8 S/U over their last 10 games. The issue for the Mystics are injuries. Washington F Elana Delle Donne is questionable today with a back injury and C Tina Charles is out with another injury. Playing Connecticut is tough enough, playing without two key players is a huge handicap. Take Connecticut here today.

The Connecticut Sun sit in third place in the WNBA standings with a 13-6 record, just 1.5-games back of the Seattle Storm. The Sun have been very good at home, 8-1 on the season, but just average (5-5) on the road. They will face the 6th place NY Liberty, who are 10-10 on the season. The Sun are just 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The Liberty are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings with the Sun at New York. I'll take the points with the home team here today. Take NY Liberty.

Las Vegas Aces in 2nd place in the WNBA Standings with a 14-6 overall record. They are one-game back of the Seattle Storm. The Aces have lost two straight games but have won seven of their last 10. The Aces aren't the best road team at covering spreads, going 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight as a road favorite. The Dallas Wings are in 8th place with a 9-11 record. They have also lost two-straight games. The Wings are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a underdog. I'll take the points at home here with the Wings.

The Washington Mystics currently sit in 9th place in the WNBA with a 7-9 record. They are riding a 3-game losing streak as they travel to New York to take on the Liberty. The NY Liberty are in 7th place with a 8-9 record and are 3-7 in their last 10 games. The Mystics have done well as a dog, evidenced by their 10-4 ATS mark their last 14 games. The Liberty are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite and home favorite. Mystics have covered four of the last five meetings both overall and in New York. I'll take the Mystics plus the points today.

Connecticut Sun are 10-5 on the season and in 3rd place. The Sun have won two straight games and have a +5.0 point differential. The Washington Mystics are in 9th place with a 7-7 record. The Mystics have lost two straight games and are 5-5 over their last 10 games. The Suns have been a very good road team, posting a 9-4-1 ATS record over their last 14 away contests. They are also 5-2 ATS their last seven games when installed as the favorite. Suns have all the edges in this one tonight. I'm taking the visitor. Play Connecticut Sun.

The Connecticut Sun are in third place in the WNBA with a 8-3 record. They are coming off a loss to the Seattle Storm, 66-89. However, they have won seven of their last 10 games. The Suns are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 road games. They are also 4-1-1 ATS in their last six road games as a dog. The Chicago Sky are 9th in the league with a 5-7 record. The Sky have won three straight games after a seven game losing streak. The Sky also have a poor home record at 1-5. The Sky are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Sun are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at Chicago. I'll be on the Sun here tonight. Play Connecticut.

New York Liberty are 4th in the WNBA with a 5-4 record. However, they started the season 5-1 and have lost three straight. The Phoenix Mercury are 6th with a 5-5 record. The NY Liberty have not been a good covering team in recent seasons, going 15-34-2 over their last 51 games vs the spread. They are also 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. Phoenix has covered the last four in this series. Take The Phoenix Mercury here on Sunday.

 The Washington Mystics are 7th in the WNBA standings with a 4-5 record. They have been better of late, winning two straight games over the LA Sparks (89-71 and the Minnesota Lynx (85-81). The Atlanta Dream are 4-6 on the season but have lost four straight after a 4-2 start. They are also 1-4 at home this season. The Mystics are now 5-0 ATS in their last five games and 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games. The Dream are just 1-5 ATS in their last six home games. The Mystics are 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the Dream and 5-1 ATS in the last six at Atlanta. Play Washington.

The LA Sparks sit in 7th place in the WNBA standings with a 4-4 record. The Sparks are coming off a loss at the Washington Mystics, 71-89. Minnesota Lynx are in 10th place right now with a 3-5 record. The Lynx also coming off a loss at the Washington Mystics, 81-85. That loss broke a three-game win streak by the Lynx. The Sparks are not the best road team, evidenced by their 3-7 ATS mark on the road as a dog. They are also 0-4 ATS in their last four Western Conference games. This series looks to be one that the home team is the one to play. Play Minnesota.

The defending champion Seattle Storm are off to another good start this season at 7-2 and just a half game back of WNBA leader Connecticut. The Atlanta Dream are 4-4 to start their season and have a -2.6 point differential on the year. The Dream are looking to snap a 2-game losing streak which came on the heals of a four-game win streak. This team can score, evidenced by their 90+ ppg average during that four game win streak. Yet here are the Storm, laying 8.5 points tonight on the road. Not sure why the line is that high with the Dream being a very competitive team. Plus, the Storm have just a +4.8 point differential. I'll take the home team here plus these generous points. Play Atlanta.

The Indiana Fever are dead last in the WNBA with a 1-8 record. They have lost four straight games and have the worst point differential in the WNBA with a -12.7 ppg. Now they have to play the 7th place LA Sparks team that is 2-3 on the season. The Sparks had one two straight games over the Chicago Sky before losing time out to the Dallas Wings, 69-79. The Fever have lost their last four games by an average of 22.5 ppg. Don't expect much fight out of the visiting Indiana Fever tonight either. Play LA Sparks.

 The Dallas Wings host the LA Sparks tonight in WNBA action. The Sparks are currently 7th in the WNBA standings with a 2-2 record. The Sparks opened the season with a pair of losses to this Wings team, 71-94 and then to the LV Aces, 69-97. They then bounced back with wins at the Chicago Sky, 76-61 and 82-79 to even their record at 2-2. The Dallas Wings are 1-4 on the season. Despite their losing record they still have a positive point differential of +0.6. All four of their losses have been by seven points or fewer. The Wings opened the season with a win over the LA Sparks, 94-71 and have since lost four straight. I look for the Wings to get back in the win column tonight against a team they dominated on the road to start the season. Play Dallas.

The Connecticut Sun are the top team in the WNBA after a few weeks of play. The Sun are 6-1 with their only loss coming at the hands of defending WNBA Champion Seattle. The Sun average 83 ppg this year and have a +9.4 point differential. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Lynx are still looking for that first win of the season to go with their four losses. The Lynx are 0-2 on their home court and have a -8.8 point differential this season. Don't think the Lynx will get that first win here today against the top team in the league to this point. Take Connecticut.

The Connecticut Sun are the surprise team of the NBA this year. The Sun are a perfect 5-0 on the season and have a whopping +12.8 point differential. The Sun are coming off a nice road win at Las Vegas, 72-65. The defense has allowed just one opponent to score more than 67 points this season. The defending WNBA Champion Seattle Storm are 3-1 thus far and have a +3.3 point differential. The Storm opened the season with two games vs the Las Vegas Aces and split those two games. They have since won two more in a row over the Wings (100-97) and the Lynx (90-78). This should be a great game, but I can't pass on taking the points here with Sun. Play Connecticut Sun.

The Las Vegas Aces opened the season with a pair of games at defending WNBA champion Seattle Storm. They dropped game one, 83-97, but then won game two, 96-80 for their first win of the season. The LA Sparks have just one game this season and that was a loss at home to the Wings, 71-94. Their one preseason game was against Vegas and that ended in a 85-85 tie. The Sparks hit the road tonight and it won't be easy at Vegas. Vegas can score lots of points and I don't see the Spark being able to keep pace in this one. Play LV Aces.

The Indiana Fever come into tonight's game at Connecticut 0-2 to start the season. Both their losses came at the hands of the NY Liberty, losing the first game 87-90 and the last one, 65-73. Conversely, the Connecticut Sun are 2-0 to start the season. The offense has been clicking, averaging 82 points per game while the defense has held their opponents to 72.5 ppg. I can't see the Fever being able to stay with the Sun team offensively. Look for the Sun to run up this score. Play Connecticut.

The Chicago Sky look to go 2-0 to start the 2021 WNBA season here tonight at Atlanta. The Sky are coming off a win over the Washington Mystics, 70-56. Candace Parker, obtained in the offseason, chipped-in 16 points and pulled down eight rebounds in the win. Atlanta lost its opening game of the season to the Connecticut Sun, 67-78. Different starts for each team and I think this tells us a lot about what direction each team will take this season. The Sky had a great defensive game while Atlanta shot poorly in its opener, hitting just 35.9% from the field. I look for another blowout win here by Chicago.

The New York Liberty have opened their season with a pair of wins, one home and one away. They will play the Minnesota Lynx tonight who are 0-1 after their initial game. The Liberty won both games against the Indiana Fever. Sabrina Lonescu has been the standout thus far for the Liberty, hitting the game winning buzzer beater in the second game. The Lynx have a very good offense and that will test this Liberty defense here tonight. I'm not putting much into those two wins by the Liberty since they came at the expense of the Fever. Play Minnesota.

The Connecticut Sun opened their season in fine form with a blowout win over the Dream, 78-67. The Phoenix Mercury also opened with a win, though theirs was a bit more dramatic over the Lynx, 77-75. Early in season hard to get a good grip on these teams. I was much more impressed with the Sun and their front court of DeWanna Bonner and Jonquel Jones who combined for 49 points. Phoenix had to score with just one second left for their win and now they play a much better team. Take the Sun here today. Play Connecticut.

The Connecticut Sun and Atlanta Dream tip off the season tonight from the Gateway Center in Atlanta. Atlanta finished the 2020 season at 7-15 and in 4th place in the East. One of their best players from that club, Betnijah Laney, left in free agency. They did pick up Odyssey Sims and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough through free agency. The Sun finished 10-12 last season. They lost in the playoffs to the Las Vegas Aces. Most of their team will be back except for Bria Holmes (free agency) and Alyssa Thomas (Achilles). For me the fact that the Dream have new players that have to fit in and that will take some time. The Sun return mostly intact. Those are keys in early games like this. Play Connecticut Sun.

The Seattle Storm are one game from taking the WNBA Championship as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead vs the Las Vegas Aces. I'm not shocked at this at all. The Aces struggled throughout their series vs the sub .500 Connecticut Sun and barley eaked out the win in game five to advance to the Championship series. Meanwhile, the Storm have cruised throughout the playoffs led by Sue Bird. I think you can stick a fork in the Aces here on Tuesday as the Storm are just too much right now in this series. Play Seattle.

The late game here tonight has the Seattle Storm taking on the Minnesota Lynx. Seattle will back to 100% health tonight and when that happens, they are unbeatable since they entered the bubble. This game had to be postponed from Sunday because of a Covid test that came back inconclusive. With their two big stars of Stewart and Bird both playing together, they are 10-1 this season. Health may not be as good for the Lynx here tonight. The Lynx might be without one of their best players in Center Sylvia Fowles tonight. Fowles is questionable tonight with a calf injury. She averages 13.7 ppg and 2.7 rebounds per game. Seattle has been good to me all season and I'm taking them here tonight. Play Seattle.

Realistically there are three teams in the WNBA that will likely be there at the end and two of them meet here today as the Sparks take on the Storm. The Seattle Storm are in 1st place with a 14-3 record and have the highest point differential of any team (+12). The Storm have won eight of their last 10 games and three straight. The LA Sparks are 13-4 and one game back of the Storm. The Sparks have won nine of their last 10 games and have a +5.4 point differential. For me, the Storm have done me good all season and I do think they are the best team. My play is on the Seattle Storm.

Tight group at the top of the WNBA standings and the Las Vegas Aces are right there. The Aces are in 3rd place, just 1 1/2 games back of first place Seattle and a half game ahead of fourth place Minnesota. The Aces lost their last game, but still have won eight of their last 10 overall. They also have the 2nd best point differential in the league (+8) next to Seattle (+12). The Connecticut Sun are in 7th place right now and they are two games back of 6th place Phoenix and two games ahead of 8th place Dallas. The Sun have won two straight games and seven of their last 10. These clubs last met on August 20th with Las Vegas thrashing the Sun, 99-78. The top four teams in the WNBA are just way better than the rest of the league. That includes the Sun. I expect Vegas to dominate this matchup, just as they did back on Aug 20th. Play Las Vegas Aces.

The LA Sparks are tied for 3rd place in the WNBA bubble with a 7-3 record. The Sparks have won four straight games and they have a point differential of +7.3 ppg. The Phoenix Mercury are 6th in the league with a 6-5 record. The Mercury have lost one straight and have a point differential of +2. The Sparks are loaded with talent, including Riquan Williams, Candace Parker and Seimon Augustus. Phoenix has dropped three of the last five games and is coming off a 89-95 loss to Dallas. I like the Sparks a lot in this contest. Play LA Sparks.

 The Chicago Sky currently sit in the middle of the pack in the WNBA. The Sky are 6-4 and have won six of their last 10 games. The Sky are coming off a loss vs the Phoenix Suns, 74-77. In fact, they have alternated win/losses the last five games. Today they face the Atlanta Dream which are having more of a nightmare season at just 2-8 and losing seven straight games. They have a -11.2 point differential and allow a league high 91.4 ppg. The Sky looking to get back in the win column and that should be no problem today. They have a double digit number to cover, but I believe they should get there over this poor Atlanta team. Play Chicago.

The Chicago Sky are in 4th place right now in the standings after starting 4-2 on the season. They are coming off a loss to the Mercury though. They will face a Connecticut Sun team that is dead last in the WNBA with a 1-5 record. The Sun did finally get a win though last time out over the Dallas Wings, 91-68. Don't expect any repeat of that performance here today as the Sky are just too good and too big a scoring team for this Connecticut club. Play Chicago Sky.

I had a big winner on the Storm back on opening night, in fact I'm 3-0 so far with my WNBA plays. Tonight, I'm taking the Storm again. The Storm average 86 ppg and are shooting over 47% from the floor. The Sparks are 2-1 on the season and looking to build on that record. Seattle also 2-1 on the season and looks to rebound from their first loss of the year to the Mystics, 89-71. I have the Storm listed as one of my top three teams to win the WNBA this year. I'll lay the points here tonight with the Storm. Play Seattle.

Mystics blew out their competition in game one of their shortened season, a 101-76 win over the Indiana Fever. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun lost their opener to the Minnesota Lynx, 68-77. I don't expect the Sun to be able to keep up with the Mystics scoring here tonight. Play Washington Mystics in a blowout win.

The Connecticut Sun have forced a final game five in this Championship series with the Mystics. The Sun took game four at home, 9-86 as a 1.5 point favorite. Now they return to Washington where they did steal game two, 99-87. We've seen the line come down in each Washington home game. Game one the Mystics were a 8.5 point chalk, game two 7.5 and now here in game five 6.5 point favorite. I've been a backer of the Sun in this series and I'm sticking with the dog here in the finale. Play the SUN.

 I had the Mystics in game one of the finals and just did get the cover with Washington as a 8 1/2 favorite and winning 95-86. Game two here tonight and the Sun don't want to go down 0-2 in this series. I am a fan of the zig-zag theory in the playoffs and I like to come back against the team that covered the previous game. Here that would mean taking the points tonight with the Sun. I know most trends and even stats favor Washington, but the Sun are a quality team and easily should be able to come in under the 8-point dog line. Let's give it a shot here tonight with the Sun plus the points.

The WNBA heads into the home stretch and the Las Vegas Aces are tied for the best record in the league with a 14-6 S/U mark. The Aces have a +7.4 scoring differential this season and have won three straight and eight of their last 10 games. The LA Sparks aren't too far behind at 11-8 on the season, but have just a +0.4 point differential this season. The Sparks are also just 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games after a straight-up win and 1-4 ATS in their last four vs the Western Conference. This looks to be one of the best games today in the WNBA, but I'll take the visitor in this one. Play the Aces.

The Washington Mystics have the best record in the WNBA at 9-3. They are 5-2 on the road and have won five straight games. The Mystics also have the league's best scoring differential at +13.6 points. Las Vegas is the third best team in the WNBA at 8-5. The Aces are 6-2 at home and have a scoring differential of +4.5. Both teams are on winning runs with LV at 7-3 and Washington at 8-2. Las Vegas has covered six of the last eight meetings in this series. Las Vegas just a 1 1/2 point favorite on its home court tonight. Washington having to make the long West Coast trip for this one. Vegas is good and with both teams playing hot, I'll take the host at this small line and just look for an outright win. Play Las Vegas.

Phoenix brings their 4-5 record to Seattle tonight. Phoenix has won two straight games but is still 1-4 on the road. In addition, the Mercury are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games. Seattle has the 3rd best record in the WNBA at 8-5. The Storm have are a perfect 5-0 at home this season. Seattle also does well vs the West, going 6-1 ATS their last seven games. Hard to beat a team that is perfect at home against a struggling WNBA club. I'm going to lay the points tonight with Seattle. Not sure how the Storm are a home dog here tonight against a losing Phoenix team. I'll bite though, I'm taking Seattle plus the points as a perfect 5-0 on their home court.

The Chicago Sky are sitting in 4th place in the WNBA with a 3-2 record and have won two-straight games. The Indiana Fever are 6th in the WNBA with a 4-3 record and have won one straight. Surprisingly, the Fever are just 2-2 at home this year. The Sky have done well vs winning teams, going 5-0 in their last five games. They are also 7-3 ATS in their last 10 dating back to last season. The Fever have not been a good covering team, evidenced by their 9-19 ATS mark their last 28 games. They are also 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games with a day's rest and 9-23 ATS at home their last 32 games. I like the Sky getting points here today and won't be surprised by a straight up Chicago win. Play Chicago.

The Chicago Sky and Phoenix Mercury both come into tonight's contest with two wins and two losses each. The Sky have won both home games and lost both road games this season. The Sun are 1-2 on the road. Chicago is led by Diamond DeShields, who is averaging 13 points per game this year. The Mercury are led by DeWanna Bonner who is averaging 23.2 ppg. The Sky got a day off for this game and they are 5-2 ATS when doing so. They are also 5-2 ATS in their last seven games vs the Western Conference. The Sky have not lost yet at home and I look for that to continue here tonight. Play the Chicago Sky.

The Connecticut Sun are the best team in the WNBA right now with a 4-1 record and have the 2nd best point differential of +7.4. Today, the Sun take on the Atlanta Dream. The Dream are off to a shaky start at just 1-3 and have lost their last three after an opening win of the season. The Dream also have the worst point differential in the league at -14.0. The Sun are led by Jonquel Jones, who averages 17.0 ppg and also leads the team in field goal percentage at 48.4%. The Dream are led by Brittney Sykes, averaging 11.5 ppg. Right now these teams have big difference between them as the Dream are getting beat badly and now face the best of the WNBA. I'm laying the points on the road today with Connecticut.
