WNBA Best Bets and Predictions Today

Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever

Las Vegas Moneyline (-104)

Las Vegas won Game 1, 102-85, behind 38 points and 16 rebounds from A’ja Wilson. Jackie Young also finished with 21 points and 10 assists.

The Aces led by as many as 27 points and scored 28 points off 17 Indiana turnovers. Indiana won two of the three regular-season meetings between these teams, but Las Vegas had the advantage throughout Game 1 and enters Tuesday having won eight straight games.

Over 183.5 Total Points (-112)

Game 1 finished with 187 total points, even with Indiana getting limited production from two of its top scorers. Caitlin Clark scored 15 points, while Kelsey Mitchell finished with 12 on 4-of-16 shooting.

Las Vegas still reached 102 points despite scoring just 16 in the fourth quarter. Indiana averaged 96.0 points per game during the regular season, so a better offensive performance from the Fever could give these teams another chance to get above this total.

Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty

New York Liberty Moneyline (+132)

New York won Game 1, 91-75, behind 34 points and 12 rebounds from Breanna Stewart. The Liberty shot 13-of-25 from three and held Minnesota to 75 points.

The result also continued New York’s recent success in this matchup. The Liberty beat Minnesota 93-81 on September 18, then followed it with another double-digit win in Game 1. New York now gets Game 2 at home with an opportunity to close out the series.

Breanna Stewart 10+ Rebounds (+114)

Stewart has been especially strong on the glass recently, recording 10 or more rebounds in three of her last four games. That includes 10 rebounds against Minnesota on September 18 and 12 more in Game 1 of this series.

She also played nearly 38 minutes in Game 1 and collected 11 of her 12 rebounds on the defensive end. With her minutes remaining high in the playoffs and back-to-back double-digit rebounding performances against Minnesota, I'll take Stewart to reach 10 again in Game 2.


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.
