WNBA Betting Picks: Predictions for Wednesday, July 8

Minnesota (15-6) comes into this one on a two-game losing streak and carries some extra baggage, as they just dropped a home game to this same Connecticut (5-16) squad. Losing at home is one thing. Losing to the team you’re now favored against by nearly a touchdown? That’s a red flag worth paying attention to. Add in the absence of Olivia Miles with a calf injury, and the Lynx are operating at less than full strength.

On the other side, the Sun are playing with momentum. Connecticut has won three of their last four, and Brittney Griner is coming off the best individual performance of her season with 29 points and ten boards against the Lynx. A team trending upward with a hot star player is exactly the kind of situation where backing the underdog on the spread makes a lot of sense.

The juice at WNBA betting sites on the Sun side is -105, which is about as close to even money as you’ll find. That means you’re risking just $105 to win $100. Getting plus points with a confident, in-form team at minimal cost? That’s a value spot. The Lynx are a quality team, but the line feels inflated given everything working against them right now.

The Fever (12-8) come into this game playing some of their best basketball of the season, winning three of their last four games. Caitlin Clark is listed as probable after dealing with an injury, and even at less than 100%, she’s the engine that drives the league’s best offense. When Indiana’s offense is humming, they don’t just win games, they win them big.

The Sparks (8-11), meanwhile, are in rough shape. They’ve dropped three straight and are giving up points at a rate that ranks as the worst defense in the league. Making matters worse, Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink are both still sidelined with injuries, stripping Los Angeles of two of their most important contributors on both ends of the floor.

The spread is set at seven points. That’s a number the Fever are fully capable of covering against a short-handed Sparks’ team that has no answers defensively. The juice on the Fever side is -105, which is about as friendly as it gets for a favorite. This line has value written all over it.
