Hunter Skoczylas previews Friday and Saturday\u2019s WNBA games with the latest odds and best bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/p>\n
This article originally appears on WNBA.com<\/a><\/p>\n We are seven weeks into the 2026-27 WNBA season, and the top teams are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the league. Friday\u2019s slate of games features an elite matchup between the third-place Atlanta Dream and fifth-place Golden State Valkyries, while Saturday\u2019s slate features Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever taking on the Los Angeles Sparks, who have had a rough start to the new campaign with an 8-9 record. <\/p>\n Below, I\u2019ll go over the WNBA odds<\/a> for Friday and Saturday\u2019s games and provide my best bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/p>\n Stay locked into the WNBA\u2019s 30th season with game previews, player props, betting splits and more on DraftKingsNetwork.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n Friday, June 26<\/p>\n Chicago Sky vs. Portland Fire (7:30 p.m. ET) \u2013\u2013 CHI -4.5, O\/U 173.5 <\/p>\n Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics (7:30 p.m. ET) \u2013\u2013 WAS -4.5, O\/U 163.5<\/p>\n Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream (10:00 p.m. ET) \u2013\u2013 ATL -1.5, O\/U 164.5<\/p>\n Best Bets:<\/p>\n WAS -4.5 (-105)<\/a><\/p>\n While Connecticut picked up its first win of the month on Monday against Chicago, it boasts a league-worst 3-15 record, ranking dead last in offensive rating and fourth-worst in defensive rating. Washington, on the other hand, has won four of its past six games, with wins over the Tempo, Liberty and Lynx. This Mystics squad can clearly hang with the league\u2019s top teams, and it should have very few issues handling the league\u2019s worst team. <\/p>\n The Mystics may not see as much rebounding success as they are used to, with the Sun allowing the sixth-fewest rebounds per game to their opponents. However, Connecticut doesn\u2019t have the offensive firepower to keep up with Washington, particularly Sonia Citron, who is averaging 18.3 points per game and has scored 20+ points in three of her past four outings.<\/p>\n Angel Reese 12+ Rebounds (-130)<\/a><\/p>\n Reese leads the WNBA in rebounds per game (11.8), and she has been particularly elite on the boards when playing on the road, clearing this line in six of nine road outings this season. Her matchup against the Valkyries should be a good one, as she grabbed 12 boards in her last outing against them on Wednesday, and the team has allowed the fifth-most rebounds per game to its opponents.<\/p>\n Another factor that makes me like this prop bet even more is the fact that Golden State shoots a league-low 40.9% from the field, which should result in plenty of easy rebounding chances for Reese. Plus, it helps that the Valkyries\u2019 front court can shoot threes, and that should help Reese get better positioning to be a menace on the boards. <\/p>\n Saturday, June 27<\/p>\n Toronto Tempo vs. Phoenix Mercury (2:00 p.m. ET) \u2013\u2013 TOR -2.5, O\/U 174.5<\/p>\n Indiana Fever vs. Los Angeles Sparks (8:00 p.m. ET) \u2013\u2013 IND -8.5, O\/U 178.5<\/p>\n Seattle Storm vs. Atlanta Dream (9:00 p.m. ET) \u2013\u2013 TBD<\/p>\n Best Bets:<\/p>\n Marina Mabrey 3+ Threes (-175)<\/a><\/p>\n Mabrey is coming off a historic 53-point game against the Sparks on Thursday, and she has an elite matchup against the Mercury to continue her strong play, especially from three-point range. The 29-year-old seemingly gets better as the days go by, leading the league in both 3PTM and 3PTA, all while shooting a blistering 40.3% from deep. She has hit a whopping nine (!) threes in two of her last three games, and she should continue the trend against a Phoenix team that allows the most three-pointers and the second-best three-point percentage to its opponents this season. <\/p>\n 3+ threes for a player with this type of shooting volume, on top of an elite matchup, is far too enticing to pass up. Mabrey hit six threes in her lone matchup against the Mercury back on May 19, and I\u2019d be willing to bet she comes out firing after tying the WNBA\u2019s single-game scoring record in her last outing.<\/p>\n
