WNBA Best Bets and Predictions Today

Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings

Jessica Shepard 12+ Rebounds (-110)

Jessica Shepard has become one of the WNBA's most consistent rebounders, recording double-digit boards on a regular basis while anchoring Dallas' frontcourt. She’s shown the ability to control the glass and rarely comes off the floor in competitive games.

Atlanta's aggressive style of play creates plenty of rebounding opportunities on both ends of the court, and Shepard's physical presence should once again put her in position to reach double figures. Rather than picking a side in a game that's already been one-sided in Atlanta's favor this season, backing Shepard's production feels like the stronger play.

Golden State Valkyries vs. Phoenix Mercury

Golden State Valkyries -3.5 (-114)

Golden State has already proven it can match up well against Phoenix, defeating the Mercury 87-81 in their most recent meeting. The Mercury have struggled to generate consistent offense against physical defensive teams, while Golden State has won nine of its last 11 games entering Wednesday. With the Valkyries continuing to defend at a high level and already owning the head-to-head advantage, I like them to cover the spread once again.

WNBA Betting -- Frequently Asked Questions

What does the point spread mean in WNBA betting?

The point spread is a margin set by oddsmakers to level the playing field between two unevenly matched teams. For example, if the Dallas Wings are listed at -7.5, they need to win by 8 or more points for a bet on them to cash. Conversely, a bet on their opponent at +7.5 wins if that team loses by 7 or fewer points — or wins outright.

What is the moneyline?

The moneyline is a straight-up bet on which team wins the game, with no spread involved. Favorites carry a negative number (e.g., -200, meaning you must risk $200 to win $100), while underdogs carry a positive number (e.g., +170, meaning a $100 bet returns $170 profit).

How does the over/under (game total) work?

Oddsmakers set a projected combined score for the game, and bettors wager on whether the actual total will go over or under that number. For instance, if the total is set at 154.5 points, an over bet wins if both teams combine for 155 or more points. WNBA totals can swing based on pace of play, rest situations, and injuries, so it's worth tracking those factors before placing a total bet.

What are WNBA player props?

Player props are bets tied to an individual player's statistical performance rather than the game's outcome. Common prop bet markets include points scored, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, and combinations of those stats.
