Best Bets<\/p>\n
CON vs. IND Over 177.5 (-112)<\/p>\n
The WNBA\u2019s No. 1 offense facing a bottom-five defense has all the makings of a high-scoring affair. Indiana leads the league with 96.6 points per game and has shown no signs of slowing down. The one-two punch of Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark, who combine to average 46.9 points per game, has been as consistent as it gets. Plus, Mitchell hasn\u2019t scored fewer than 20 points since June 20 and should have no problem producing against a Sun defense allowing 86.9 points per game, tied for seventh-most in the league. I\u2019m leaning toward the over and backing Indiana to keep its hot streak alive.<\/p>\n
Saturday, August 29<\/p>\n
Chicago Sky at New York Liberty (1:00 p.m. ET) \u2014 NY -8.5, O\/U 178.5<\/p>\n
Toronto Tempo at Phoenix Mercury (10:00 p.m. ET) \u2014 lines will be available on DraftKings Sportsbook<\/p>\n
Best Bets<\/p>\n
Sydney Taylor Over 2.5 Three Pointers Made (+135)<\/p>\n
The Sky rookie has the green light from deep, averaging 5.9 three-point attempts per game. Her 33.7% shooting clip doesn\u2019t jump off the page, but the ceiling is definitely there. Taylor has made at least four threes in seven games this season, including four times over her last 10.<\/p>\n
She went 0-for-6 from deep in each of her last two outings, but the volume never disappeared\u2014and that\u2019s what keeps me interested at plus money. New York is allowing opponents to shoot 35.5% from three, ranking 12th in the league, and Taylor has already knocked down four triples in two of her three meetings with the Liberty this season. I\u2019m betting on the volume and matchup to produce a bounce-back performance, and I like Taylor to clear 2.5 threes at +135.<\/p>\n
Jonquel Jones 15+ Points (-123)<\/p>\n
Jones has remained a pivotal part of the Liberty\u2019s Big 3, anchoring the paint with 9.1 rebounds per game while adding a healthy 14.7 points. Her scoring average sits at 15.2 points over her last five contests, even with a five-point outing against Chicago in which she injured her ankle six minutes into the game.<\/p>\n
More importantly, Jones returned from that injury to score 19 points against Indiana before putting up 18 against Golden State\u2019s league-leading defense. She has now scored at least 18 points in three of her last four games that she finished. With Chicago allowing 90.0 points per game over its last three, I like Jones to take advantage of the matchup inside and reach 15+ points.<\/p>\n
