The WNBA is back on Tuesday, August 5, with five games on the docket. The only matchup between teams with winning records, though, is the 24-5\u00a0Minnesota Lynx<\/a> squaring off against the 16-13\u00a0Seattle Storm<\/a> at 10 p.m. ET. The Lynx easily have the best record in the WNBA, but they now have to adjust to life without Napheesa Collier, as the MVP frontrunner is out at least two weeks after suffering an ankle injury last game against the Las Vegas Aces.<\/p>\n If you’re interested in WNBA betting<\/a> and WNBA player props at the best betting sites<\/a>\u00a0for Tuesday, August 5, then make sure to see today’s WNBA best bets at\u00a0FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today’s WNBA pick:Storm -2.5 -108 (1 unit, FD)Storm -2.5<\/p>\n There isn’t a more puzzling team than the Storm this season, as their inconsistency is maddening. They’ve dropped their past two games, each of them coming at home. Despite being favored by at least three points in each of their past 10 games, they have a 4-6 record in those contests.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here’s the thing, though\u2014Seattle has played the top teams very well. The Storm are 2-0 against the Liberty<\/a> and gave the 9-0 Lynx their first loss of the season in Seattle. In the other game they’ve played against Minnesota, the Storm only lost by five points on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now the Lynx are without MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier<\/a> for the first time after she injured her ankle last game against the Las Vegas Aces<\/a>. The Storm allow the third-most points in the paint (37.5, only the Los Angeles Sparks<\/a> and Connecticut Sun<\/a> are worse) and score the fourth-most points in the paint (37.9) in the WNBA. This particular matchup is one where I feel that Collier’s absence will be felt rather hard, especially since it’s her first game out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images The WNBA is back on Tuesday, August 5, with five games on the docket.
