Best WNBA Predictions Today (With Reasoning), September 22
There are important things to know before betting on the WNBA. Fortunately, if you can’t do your own research, you can see exactly how we arrived at each of our WNBA picks today and the key factors that influenced our analysis.
Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever: Lynx -1 (-110)
The Lynx (32-10) come into this one as a one-point road favorite, meaning oddsmakers expect Minnesota to win, but just barely. That’s a thin line, and it makes sense given how competitive this matchup looks on paper. What tips the scales in Minnesota’s favor is the combination of a top-three defense and a top-five offense. When a team ranks that high on both ends of the floor, they don’t need a lot of points to cover a one-point spread at WNBA betting sites.

Olivia Miles and Napheesa Collier are both playing at a high level right now, and that kind of two-headed attack creates real problems for a Fever (27-15) defense that ranks 12th in points allowed. To put that in plain terms, Indiana is giving up more points than almost every other team in the league. Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are doing their part offensively for the Fever, but if your defense is leaking points, a one-possession lead is never safe.
Minnesota is also 10-8 ATS as a road favorite this season. That’s a solid track record in this spot. Indiana is just 1-1 ATS as a home underdog, so there’s no strong historical edge pushing us toward the Fever side.
Los Angeles Sparks vs. Las Vegas Aces: Aces -17 (-110)
The Sparks (16-26) are playing out the string here. With Dearica Hamby and Cameron Brink both sidelined due to injury, Los Angeles is severely undermanned, and a team with nothing to play for is rarely a team you want to bet on. When a roster is already short-handed and motivation is non-existent, bad things tend to happen on the scoreboard.

The Aces (29-13), on the other hand, have real skin in the game. Las Vegas is still fighting for playoff positioning, which means their starters will be locked in and playing with purpose. They’re also 12-9 ATS at home this season. That’s a solid home cover rate, and it matters in a spot like this.
The matchup angle is brutal for Los Angeles. The Sparks own the second-worst defense in the league, and they’re walking into a home court where the Aces have consistently covered. A big, motivated Las Vegas team against a depleted, checked-out Sparks squad is exactly the kind of mismatch sharp bettors look for.
