WNBA Best Bets and Predictions Today

Toronto Tempo vs. Golden State Valkyries

Janelle Salaün 15+ Points (+136)

Salaün has consistently been a tough matchup for Toronto this season. She scored 26 points in the first meeting between these teams before following it up with 24 points in Sunday's 96-79 victory. Two of her best offensive performances this year have come against the Tempo, making this a very favorable spot.

Golden State's offense has found success by creating open looks for Salaün both in transition and in the half court. With Toronto struggling to contain her throughout the season, 15 points is a number that looks appealing at these odds.

Veronica Burton 6+ Assists (-158)

Burton has been a consistent facilitator whenever Golden State has faced Toronto this season, recording 7 assists in the first meeting and 6 assists in Sunday's rematch. She has reached this number in both games while helping the Valkyries score 83 and 96 points in the two meetings.

Golden State's offense has had no issues generating quality looks against the Tempo, and Burton has been at the center of that ball movement. With her assist total clearing this line in both meetings, 6+ assists is one of the stronger props on Tuesday's slate.

WNBA Betting -- Frequently Asked Questions

What does the point spread mean in WNBA betting?

The point spread is a margin set by oddsmakers to level the playing field between two unevenly matched teams. For example, if the Dallas Wings are listed at -7.5, they need to win by 8 or more points for a bet on them to cash. Conversely, a bet on their opponent at +7.5 wins if that team loses by 7 or fewer points — or wins outright.

What is the moneyline?

The moneyline is a straight-up bet on which team wins the game, with no spread involved. Favorites carry a negative number (e.g., -200, meaning you must risk $200 to win $100), while underdogs carry a positive number (e.g., +170, meaning a $100 bet returns $170 profit).

How does the over/under (game total) work?

Oddsmakers set a projected combined score for the game, and bettors wager on whether the actual total will go over or under that number. For instance, if the total is set at 154.5 points, an over bet wins if both teams combine for 155 or more points. WNBA totals can swing based on pace of play, rest situations, and injuries, so it's worth tracking those factors before placing a total bet.

What are WNBA player props?

Player props are bets tied to an individual player's statistical performance rather than the game's outcome. Common prop bet markets include points scored, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, and combinations of those stats.
