The WNBA is offering a three-game slate with a trio of massive moneyline favorites on tonight’s card.<\/p>\n
The Kalshi combo is the way to attack tonight’s card, and we’ll be laying massive juice tonight on all three favorites for our best WNBA moneyline predictions and WNBA picks<\/a> on Wednesday, Aug. 12.<\/p>\n WNBA moneyline picks for August 12<\/p>\n Prices courtesy of Kalshi<\/a> as of August 12.<\/p>\n Start trading with Kalshi today!<\/p>\n Sign up now using our exclusive Kalshi promo code<\/a> ‘COVERS’ and earn up to $500 in bonuses after you trade $25 on any other event contracts \u2014 including WNBA moneylines!<\/p>\n *Eligible U.S. locations only<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account The Toronto Tempo<\/a> defense overhelps and is slow at closing out on the perimeter, and it won’t survive Paige Bueckers’<\/a> drive-and-kick tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n Over their last five, Tempo opponents have hit 13 triples per game and scored nearly 40 in the paint. Snipers like Arike Ogunbowale<\/a> and Azzi Fudd <\/a>will feast off that same collapse.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Dallas Wings<\/a> haven’t been sharp lately, but their point-of-attack defensive pressure has held foes to just 87 points per game and 10 made threes a night, enough to slow Marina Mabrey<\/a> and close out this victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n Play Dallas to 85%.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sky vs Valkyries: Valkyries (80% probability)<\/p>\n The Golden State Valkyries<\/a> are playing locked-in defense. In their last five, they’ve held teams to 81 points on 43.8% shooting and under 32% from three.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Valkyries’ length and opportunistic defenders on the perimeter wear teams down, resulting in 18.8 ppg off nearly 13 forced turnovers per night, which is too much for the Chicago Sky<\/a> ballhandlers.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Sky compete hard, but they cough up 16 points off turnovers and yield over 40 points in the paint. It\u2019s why they are 4-12 on the road this season, and why they will lose tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n I’d play it to 85%.<\/p>\n Lynx vs Fire: Lynx (88% probability)<\/p>\n In their last five games, the Minnesota Lynx’s<\/a> switch-heavy defense has allowed only 87.6 points per game and forced nearly 17 turnovers per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Portland Fire<\/a> are giving up 98.4 points per night and allow opponents to shoot almost 50% from the field and 39% from downtown.<\/p>\n Napheesa Collier<\/a>, Kayla McBride<\/a>, and Olivia Miles<\/a> are a trio averaging a combined 57 points per game, and they will expose the Fire\u2019s late closeouts enough times to win this game.\u00a0<\/p>\n Play this one to 90%.<\/p>\n Today’s WNBA moneyline parlay<\/p>\n![\"Add](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786535300_557_google-preferred-source-badge.png\"){kind=icon}
