Tuesday Night WNBA Gambling Predictions: 6th of July, 202 XXX
The WNBA is gearing up for an exciting matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the New York Liberty, with both teams showcasing impressive form in recent games.
Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever's star player, is expected to have another strong outing in her upcoming game against the 2-8 Connecticut Sun. Clark returned to action with a 32/9/8 performance, narrowly missing a double-double in her last game. However, her injury-prone season has affected her MVP odds, which have plummeted from +195 to +30000.
Meanwhile, the Sun allowed Angel Reese, the Washington Mystics' standout player, to post her first career triple-double in their previous encounter. Reese, who has double-digit rebounds in seven of her ten games this season, is favored to record a double-double in her upcoming game, with odds of -150 in her favor.
The Atlanta Dream have been on a roll, winning their last three games by an average of 18 points each. In contrast, the New York Liberty suffered their first loss of the season in their previous game. The Liberty have a +15.7 margin compared to the Dream's +9, but the spread for this matchup favors the Dream by 8 points.
The Minnesota Lynx, currently favored over the Las Vegas Aces by 9 points, have also been in fine form. They have won four of their last five games, each by an 11+ point margin. The Lynx's star player, Napheesa Collier, leads the MVP odds board at -325, making them a strong contender in the league.
The Vegas Aces, despite player A'ja Wilson's surging MVP odds at +600, have struggled recently, losing three of their last four games, including two losses by 9+ points.
In the points department, the Liberty average 90.2 points per game, while the Dream average 84.6 points. However, the total points line (over/under) for the Liberty-Dream game has increased to 171, with the current lean toward betting the Over on points due to the Liberty's defensive struggles allowing over 90 points per game recently.
The Atlanta Dream's Allisha Gray is a DFS favorite and is in the MVP market at +25000, showing some individual value for bets, despite the team's long odds. Sabrina Ionescu of the Liberty holds long odds on MVP at +10000 but remains an important fantasy and DFS pick, suggesting bettors see her as a potential force despite injuries around her team.
Injury concerns continue to be a central factor driving these market shifts, with key players like Breanna Stewart of the Liberty and Angel Reese of the Mystics affecting team betting lines significantly.
This promising matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the New York Liberty promises to be a thrilling contest, with both teams looking to assert their dominance in the WNBA.
