Strongest Play of the Day

As I mentioned before, the thing that appeals to me about the WNBA is the talent discrepancy between the top tier and lower level teams that is not present to such a degree in some of the major men's pro sports.  I liken it to pre-conference college football.  

In and of itself, basketball is much more predictable sport than baseball or say hockey.  This is true in both men's and women's simply because you are accounting for fewer players impact on the game.  

More so, the talent discrepancy is to the point that the addition of the top player in the WNBA draft immediately can turn a team into the contender.  Minnesota was an average team before Maya Moore made them a championship contender.  Phoenix played no defense before a rim protector like Griner makes them the championship favorite.  

I've probably watched WNBA for the past 5 seasons, felt comfortable in my understanding for the past 3, and the trends I've noticed are the ones I mentioned above.

For info, I use this forum to get a general feeling for the games and gather information I may have missed.  There are some good cappers like 44-Dimes in the past who were money.  I use the Covers scorelines to monitor line movement/public opinion/reverse line movement.  I use donbest.com to monitor injuries.  And then I take my own thoughts from years of watching the WNBA and come up with a plan of action.

Phoenix will win. Simply stated.  The Western Conference is leagues ahead of the Eastern Conference, and the difference for Phoenix is that they play DEFENSE this year to add to that scorching offense.  Will lay the heavy juice on the ML and just take out my money.  But on a game like that I will watch the game (League Pass is cheap) and hedge out at half for a small loss if necessary.  

Fever vs. Sky.  Sky too banged up w/o Delle Donne and Vandersloot, and doesn't really shoot the 3.  Will take Fever ML for a small amount as Fever have not been as reliable at home compared to years past.

Mystics vs. Sparks.  Will probably lay off, but heavy lean Mystics with the points.  Sparks have been inconsistent, and Mystics are a well coached team with Coach T, kind of a dark horse out of the East that may surprise some people.  Was impressed by how they completely DOMINATED the boards against an above average rebounding team in Tulsa the other day, was the one day I bet against Tulsa 2nd half after they got obliterated the first.  If Ogwumike doesn't play, give me the +7 or 6.5 now please.
