Golden State is in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the league, posting the second-best net rating so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8b\">Another Western Conference contender \u2013 the Dallas Wings \u2013 will be in action on Friday night, as Paige Bueckers and Co. take on Marina Mabrey and the struggling Toronto Tempo. After a fast start, the Tempo have dropped seven of their last 10 games, including their last three after Wednesday\u2019s loss to Golden State.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8e\">In the final game of the night, Los Angeles Sparks look to build on an upset win over the Indiana Fever when they take on the Chicago Sky in L.A.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8h\">There are a ton of ways to bet on this massive WNBA slate, and I\u2019m eyeing \u2026 on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>WNBA Best Bets Record2026 season record: 54-43 (+1.42 units)Overall (since 2024 season): 229-206-2 (+4.32 units)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8q\">Find Peter Dewey&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1BIvWO-S-TFepu-8DBiXfx10kJJ4Zi7ctpMBVYK9oCZQ\/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).

The Valkyries allow just 76.7 points per game, and they love to slow down the pace and force teams to work in the half court.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9e\">I think that will be a massive issue for the Sun, who are 14th in offensive rating and dead last in the league in effective field goal percentage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9h\">The Valkyries have held much better offenses in check during this winning streak, and they already beat the Sun by 27 this season. It\u2019s hard to pass up Golden State simply to win this game on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9k\">Dallas<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9n\">Dallas picked up a 13-point win over the Tempo in Toronto on July 5, and then followed that up with a commanding performance in New York on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9q\">The Wings are now 8-5 on the road this season (they won 10 total games in the 2025 campaign), and they sit in the top five in the league in net rating at plus 4.8.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9t\">Toronto has been banged up as of late, and it simply lacks the defensive talent to slow down this Dallas attack. The Tempo are 13th in the league in both defensive rating and opponent points per game, and they\u2019ve covered the spread in less than half of their home games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9w\">With Dallas on a three-game winning streak, I think it can handle business on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Paige Bueckers 20+ Points (-149)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a2\">This season, Paige Bueckers is averaging exactly 20.0 points per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a5\">One of the most efficient scorers in the WNBA, Bueckers torched Toronto for 22 points earlier this month, knocking down nine of her 16 shots from the field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a8\">The Tempo have struggled on defense in 2026, ranking 13th in both opponent points per game and defensive rating.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ab\">Prior to a 15-point showing against New York, Bueckers had scored 22, 25, 25, 25 and 27 points over her previous five games. I think she finds herself right back in that mix on Friday. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-29\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ag\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-30\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aj\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-31\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"am\">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.
