Meghan Townsley previews Friday and Saturday\u2019s WNBA games with the latest odds and her best bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/p>\n
This article originally appears on WNBA.com<\/a><\/p>\n Minnesota\u2019s on a heater, Caitlin Clark is hitting buzzer-beaters, and the top four teams are starting to separate themselves from the pack. That won\u2019t last for long, though, as the Dallas Wings are doing a complete 180 from last season and the Valkyries continue to lock opponents down defensively.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go over the WNBA odds<\/a> for Friday and Saturday\u2019s games and I\u2019ll provide my best bets on DraftKings Sportsbook!<\/p>\n Friday, June 12<\/p>\n Toronto Tempo vs. Washington Mystics (7:30 p.m. ET) \u2014 WAS -1.5, O\/U 169.5<\/p>\n Golden State Valkyries vs. Seattle Storm (10:00 p.m. ET) \u2014 GS -9.5, O\/U 157.5<\/p>\n Best Bets:<\/p>\n Brittney Sykes 20+ Points (-125)<\/a><\/p>\n Sykes, the star you are. The 32-year-old vet has found her groove in her new home of Toronto, averaging a career-best 21.6 points per game through the first month of the 2026 season. It\u2019s not just scoring, though. Sykes has also been a defensive force, averaging 1.6 steals and 4.3 rebounds per game to solidify herself as a strong two-way player.<\/p>\n Sykes is on the heels of an explosive 38-point performance in overtime against the Sun and has averaged a whopping 26.6 points per game over her last six contests. Against a Mystics squad allowing the fourth-most points per game (86.9) while struggling to defend the perimeter, I expect Sykes to have another big outing as Toronto\u2019s leading scorer.<\/p>\n Veronica Burton 25+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (+100)<\/a><\/p>\n The Valkyries haven\u2019t had the most consistent start to the season, but Burton has been one of their most reliable offensive pieces, scoring double-digit points in all but two contests. While her rebounding hovers around three per game, Burton serves as the floor general for Golden State, averaging 5.8 assists per game while recording 6+ assists six times this season.<\/p>\n She\u2019s also coming off a 25-point, eight-assist performance against the Mercury, which would have cleared this PRA line on points alone. Tonight, she faces a Seattle Storm squad that owns the league\u2019s worst defensive rating over its last three games (114.5), making Burton\u2019s versatility and +100 value tough to pass up.<\/p>\n Saturday, June 13<\/p>\n Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun (6:00 p.m. ET) \u2014 IND -10.5, O\/U 171.5<\/p>\n Minnesota Lynx vs. Las Vegas Aces (8:00 p.m. ET) \u2014 LV -2.5, O\/U 173.5<\/p>\n Dallas Wings vs. Portland Fire (8:30 p.m. ET)\u00a0 \u2014 DAL -5.5, O\/U 171.5<\/p>\n Los Angeles Sparks vs. Phoenix Mercury (10:00 p.m. ET) \u2014\u00a0PHO -1.5, O\/U 176.5<\/p>\n MIN Lynx +2.5 (-105)<\/a><\/p>\n Now this is a primetime-worthy matchup. The Lynx enter tonight on an eight-game win streak, lead the league in both offensive and defensive rating, and, yeah, they have Olivia Miles. The rookie has snuck into early MVP conversations after starting the season with poise and elite court vision, averaging 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. Despite their dominance on both sides of the floor, Minnesota still sits behind the Liberty in the championship odds on DraftKings Sportsbook, sharing +350 odds with Las Vegas.<\/p>\n The Aces are coming off a 105-89 victory over the Fire, highlighted by A\u2019ja Wilson\u2019s 32-point, two-block performance. Wilson hasn\u2019t missed a beat this season, averaging 26.4 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, while Jackie Young continues to shine as a second option. Chennedy Carter has also been a force off the bench and is expected to return to form Saturday after a recent leg injury. I\u2019m expecting a close matchup, but the Lynx are in far too good of form for me not to back them to cover.<\/p>\n More WNBA Betting Content<\/p>\n Check out more\u00a0WNBA content<\/a>\u00a0and player props throughout the season on DraftKings Network!<\/p>\n
