WNBA Odds and Props: Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx Favored in Saturday Matchups
Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Target Center will be the settings for a pair of WNBA contests tonight, with the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx entering their respective games as home favorites. The Los Angeles Sparks will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Fever in a rematch, while the Golden State Valkyries face a tough road test against league best the Minnesota Lynx in Minneapolis.
Thoughts on Game:
Value in Sparks Moneyline (+200)/Spread (+5.5). The Fever have been rolling lately, winners of three straight games. This game seems like a potential letdown game. Sparks have enough shooting and playmaking with the additions of Julie Allemand and Julie Vanloo. Last time Sparks/Fever played, Azura Stevens was dominating with 23 points (9-12 FG) and 7 rebounds. I will expect another dominating performance from Azura. Props for the Fever, I will highly recommend taking Points + Rebounds + Assists (26.5) for Kelsey Mitchell.

Thoughts on Game:
Minnesota is the best team in the league right now, but this Valkyrie team is underrated and also has the 2nd best defensive rating in the league, behind Minnesota. I like the Valkyrie to cover the (+10.5) and I also like the under total points 155.5. I also like Kayla Thronton Points + Rebounds + Assists (20.5). Kayla Mcbride for Over (2.5) threes.
