The Mercury made the WNBA Finals in 2025, but they\u2019ll need a magical finish to this season just to make the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7z\">Phoenix is taking on another team on the outside of the playoff picture in the Chicago Sky in a standalone matchup at 9 p.m. EST. Prior to that, A\u2019ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces play a potential playoff preview against the Atlanta Dream while the New York Liberty look to earn a win at home against the tanking Seattle Storm:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas Aces vs. Atlanta DreamSeattle Storm vs. New York LibertyPhoenix Mercury vs. Chicago Sky<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"85\">I\u2019m eyeing a pair of plays for Monday\u2019s action, including a two-pick parlay for the Liberty and Breanna Stewart against her former team. Can New York improve upon a solid 8-5 record at home?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"88\">Let\u2019s dive into the breakdown for that play and more on Monday, Aug. 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>WNBA Best Bets Record2026 season record: 71-59 (-1.10 units)Overall (since 2024 season): 246-222-2 (+1.80 units)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8h\">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).

So, I love moving this line down, especially against this Seattle team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"98\">The Storm have really struggled on the glass in 2026, ranking 11th in the league in rebound percentage and 14th in opponent rebounds per game. While Stewart has yet to face Seattle in 2026, she\u2019s played at least 31 minutes in every game since the start of July.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9b\">With that workload, the eight-time All-Star should come right around her season average on the glass in this matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9e\">New York Liberty Moneyline<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9h\">The Liberty have been awful against the spread on the road, but they\u2019re 7-6 at home and have a net rating of plus-5.1 in those matchups. I\u2019m going to forget the spread altogether in this parlay and simply take New York to win and improve to 9-5 at Barclays Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9k\">From a talent perspective, the Liberty have a far deeper team than the Storm, who are clearly in rebuilding mode around Dominique Malonga.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9n\">Seattle has dropped eight games in a row, nine of its last 10 and is a league-worst 2-14 straight up on the road. Even though the Liberty have not been as dominant as they were expected to be this season, I can\u2019t pass them up to win this game, and likely win it handily.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9q\">New York did lose to Seattle (with Stewart out of the lineup) earlier this season, but that game was on the road where the Liberty are just one game over .500 in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9t\">With Stewie expected to play on Monday, the Liberty are the bet to make.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas Aces Moneyline (-105) vs. Atlanta Dream<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9z\">The Aces won the first meeting between these teams back in May by one point in Atlanta, and they\u2019re basically in a pick\u2019em scenario on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a2\">Atlanta has been great at home (10-4) this season, and it\u2019s won five games in a row to make a real push for a top-three seed in the league. However, the Aces are an elite road team, going 11-4 on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-28\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a5\">These teams are No. 4 (Las Vegas) and No. 5 (Atlanta) in net rating this season, but the Aces\u2019 offense (No. 2 in the W in offensive rating) could be an issue for the Dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-29\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a8\">Atlanta is not a great shooting team (12th in effective field goal percentage), and it has relied a bit on its defense (fourth in opponent points per game) to win this season. After all, the Dream are just 4-9 against the spread when favored at home despite winning 10 of their 14 home games overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-30\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ab\">The Aces average over 91 points per game this season, and they allow just 1.3 more points per game than the Dream.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-31\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ae\">I lean with A\u2019ja Wilson and Co. winning this game, especially if they close as underdogs. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-33\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aj\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-34\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"am\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-35\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ap\">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.
