WNBA Betting Picks: Predictions for Wednesday, July 22

Minnesota (21-6) is rolling into the All-Star break with the league’s best record. The Lynx have rattled off six straight wins and are sending three players (Olivia Miles, Courtney Miles, and Natasha Howard) to the WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago. That’s not a coincidence. That’s a team firing on all cylinders. On top of that, Napheesa Collier is listed as probable to return tonight, which would add even more firepower to an already dangerous roster.

the Queen returns.

Seattle (6-22), on the other hand, is in a rough stretch. The Storm have dropped five games in a row and are struggling on both ends of the floor, meaning the defense isn’t stopping anyone and the offense isn’t putting up enough points to compensate. That’s a bad combination against a team as hot as Minnesota right now.

Covering a double-digit spread is never a lock, but the gap between these two teams right now is real. Minnesota’s momentum, combined with Collier’s likely return and Seattle’s inability to defend, sets up a scenario where the Lynx can pull away early and keep the foot on the gas.

The Las Vegas Aces (18-7) come into this one riding solid recent form, having won seven of their last ten games. Two of their biggest contributors, A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young, are both headed to the All-Star Game, which tells you everything you need to know about the talent level on this roster. Las Vegas also ranks third in the league in points scored per game, meaning they put up numbers consistently, not just in blowouts.

Washington (13-12), on the other hand, has been a tough team to trust. The Mystics have split their last ten games evenly, and here’s the part that really stands out: they actually play better on the road (8-6) than they do at home (5-6).
That home record is a red flag. The Aces are the visiting team here, but Washington’s struggles to protect their home floor work against them in a matchup like this.

Covering the spread at WNBA betting sites means the Aces need to win by seven or more. Given Las Vegas’s offensive firepower and Washington’s inconsistency at home, that’s a very reasonable ask. The juice is minimal at -108, so you’re not overpaying to get on the right side of this one.
