WNBA Betting Picks: Predictions for Friday, September 5, 2025

You see the Seattle Storm tonight in a prime position to lock up their playoff berth, and they arrive riding a hot streak, having won six of their last eight games. Nneka Ogwumike has been quietly dominant lately, putting up 20 points per game over her last five outings. Skylar Diggins and Gabby Williams are finding their rhythm, too. That offensive balance and form is precisely what you want when the playoffs are looming.

On the other side, the New York Liberty are in the postseason, but have lacked spark, losing six of their last nine contests. Breanna Stewart is still easing her way back from injury, and Sabrina Ionescu remains sidelined with a stubborn toe issue. On the road, the defending champions managed just 121 total points in back-to-back losses to Phoenix and Golden State.

I like the Storm to win and cover a tight 2-point spread at home at WNBA betting sites. They have momentum, they have a health edge, and most importantly, they have motivation shining through with a postseason berth on the line.
