WNBA Betting Picks and Props for Tonight

Indiana Fever at Golden State Valkyries

Under 160.0 Points (-108)

There are plenty of reasons to believe in the under at Chase Center tonight if a Stephanie White defense is the main reason we wouldn't.

That side of the ball for the Indiana Fever hasn't been up to snuff in the last 10 games with a 109.3 defensive rating (DRTG), but they should be aided by a Golden State Valkyries squad with a 102.6 offensive rating (ORTG) that also played yesterday.

Meanwhile, Golden State has been dominant at home on the defensive end with the league's best DRTG (94.9) and second-slowest pace (77.8). They've allowed just 73.6 PPG in San Fran.

I still don't quite trust a Fever offense without Caitlin Clark (groin), Sophie Cunningham (knee), and Aari McDonald (foot) to put the ball in the basket in the toughest scoring conditions the W has to offer. Considering the Valks might also have tired legs, the under is the move.

DRatings has this total at 160.4 points, which would still justify -110 odds on an under.

Washington Mystics at Los Angeles Sparks

Mystics +8.5 (-108)

The Washington Mystics were embarrassed last night. I almost always want to buy that team at next opportunity.

D.C. fell victim to the aforementioned Valkyries buzzsaw in a 37-point trouncing, but the Los Angeles Sparks are a different story. L.A. has -2.0 net rating (NRTG) in their last 10 games to Washington's -9.8, which was wholly damaged by last night's effort. Even then, the gap isn't 8.5.

"Rest" isn't really an issue when the starters barely played before getting benched -- perhaps on ability as much as preservation.

This is a rare case where turning it around so quickly is a good thing. They're miffed, and L.A.'s 108.6 DRTG is a ripe target.

DRatings has this median spread at just 7.7 points.

Kiki Iriafen Over 21.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Even though Cam Brink (knee) has returned for limited duty late in this 2025 season, the Sparks are still getting smashed inside.

They're a bottom-four club in paint points (39.4) and second-chance points (11.4) per game over their last 10 contests -- of which Brink has been active for most. There's just not a particular defensively sound culture this year, which is a problem playing at the W's fastest pace (80.5) this year.

That's where forward Kiki Iriafen can help. The rookie has been a revelation to average 13.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per 25 minutes this season. That per-25 basis is particularly noteworthy as her playing time concerns have been alleviated to log at least that mark in nine straight games, including seeing burn in last night's blowout.

With a stable floor, Rotowire projects Iriafen for 15.1 points and 10.0 rebounds in 29.0 minutes on Sunday.
