So, with a better shooting night, I expect Ionescu to be in play to finish with 25 or more points, rebounds and assists against Phoenix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"91\">The Mercury are just 10th in the WNBA in defensive rating and are 14th in opponent 3s made per game, which should help Ionescu get to the bread and better of her offensive attack. The star guard averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game last season, so she\u2019s more than capable of clearing this line in her second game of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Marina Mabrey UNDER 2.5 3-Pointers Made (+108)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"97\">Marina Mabrey has been up and down for the Toronto Tempo in the 2026 season, scoring 26 or more points three times while also posting a seven and a three-point game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9a\">So, I don\u2019t mind fading her against one of the best defensive teams in the league in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9d\">Mabrey is shooting 35.0 percent from 3 on over eight attempts per game this season, but she\u2019s made less than three 3-pointers in three of seven games. Chicago ranks fifth in the W in defensive rating and fourth in 3-pointers allowed per game (7.0) this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9g\">The Sky are also third in opponent 3-point percentage (31.1 percent).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9j\">Mabrey is going to take a ton of 3s, but she\u2019s had some really off nights (0-for-8 against Minnesota, 1-for-6 against the Los Angeles Sparks) already this season. I wouldn&#8217;t be shocked if she comes up short against this Sky defense.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota Lynx +2.5 (-112) vs. Atlanta Dream<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9p\">The Minnesota Lynx have covered the spread in five of their six games in the 2026 season, and I think they\u2019re a little undervalued at home against Atlanta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9s\">The Dream did win by one in the first meeting between these teams, but Atlanta hasn\u2019t won by a wide margin in most games (wins by one, five, two and 17) so far this season. The only double-digit win for the Dream was against the Dallas Wings (at home).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9v\">The Lynx actually have a better net rating (plus-6.9) than the Dream (plus-5.4) this season, and Atlanta is just 3-2 against the spread despite having the best record in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9y\">The absence of Napheesa Collier is a limit to Minnesota\u2019s ceiling, but this team has a lot of savvy veterans \u2013 and a star rookie in Olivia Miles \u2013 that make it a title contender this season once Collier returns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-28\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a1\">I wouldn&#8217;t be shocked if the Lynx win at home, so I\u2019ll gladly take the points in this matchup. Minnesota has outscored its opponents by 38 points over the last two games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Portland Fire Moneyline (-180) vs. Connecticut Sun<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-30\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a7\">The Portland Fire picked up an impressive win over the New York Liberty in their last game, and I\u2019m buying them at home on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-31\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aa\">Portland is a 5.5-point favorite, yet oddsmakers have it set at -180 on the moneyline, a pretty favorable price against a one-win Connecticut team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-32\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ad\">While the Fire haven\u2019t posted an elite net rating (12th in the W) they do have two wins over New York, one over Toronto and one-point win over this Sun team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-33\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ag\">Connecticut is not only 1-7 straight up, but it has the worst net rating (minus-18.0) in the WNBA by nearly 10 points per 100 possessions. The Sun also rank last in offensive rating and second-to-last in defensive rating this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-34\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aj\">I think Portland is a better team, and I\u2019ll take it to win at home, where it is 2-2 so far in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Washington Mystics Moneyline (-148) vs. Seattle Storm<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-36\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ap\">The Mystics and Storm have two of the worst offenses in the WNBA this season (14th and 13th in offensive rating), yet Seattle dropped 97 points in a win over Washington on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-37\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"as\">Despite that, I\u2019m eyeing the Mystics to win the rematch on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-38\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"av\">Seattle is 3-4 this season, but its wins have come against the Connecticut Sun (twice) and Washington, allowing it to get to an even 0.0 net rating this season. CT only has one win (ironically against Seattle) this season while the Mystics have gone 3-2 against the spread with wins over Toronto and Indiana.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-39\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ay\">This young Mystics team has struggled with turnovers (14th in the W), but it does rank in the top eight in the league in effective field goal percentage. The offensive ceiling should be higher than Seattle\u2019s, which I believe has some inflated numbers from playing three of seven games against the worst team in the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-40\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b1\">I\u2019ll take a shot on Washington to win the second meeting between these teams in 2026. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-42\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b6\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-43\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b9\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-44\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bc\">Claim the latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/draftkings-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
