Sabrina Ioenescu returned to the Liberty lineup and promptly laid an 0-2 stinker from downtown. The encouraging sign? She saw 26 minutes of playing time, and, as a career 35% shooter, in a fast-paced game with Stewie going off, makes her landing a pair of triples a strong possibility.

Skyler Diggins is Chicago’s engine. She’s scored at least 16 points in three of her previous four games and should have success against a Liberty defense allowing 40 points per game to guards.

Don't let Breanna Stewart's 14-point game against Washington fool you. Chicago commits 21.0 fouls per game, and Stewart thrives at the free-throw line. With Sabrina Ionescu back, expect more scoring chances. Play Stewart Over 20.5 points.

Natisha Hiedeman leads the Storm with a career-best 14.7 points, but she’s upped that average to 19.7 across her last three games. She leads her team in FGA and 3PA and ranks second in minutes.

Seattle’s top scorer gets a phenomenal matchup tonight. The Fire sport the WNBA’s worst Defensive Rating at 111.3, but over the last five games, that rating has plummeted to 117.

In that span, Portland has surrendered 92.4 PPG (second-most). Hiedeman has scored 14+ in five straight games and nine of 15 overall. I’ll happily take this line up to 15.5.

Azzi Fudd, the WNBA no. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, should have plenty of scoring opporunities as leading scorer Paige Bueckers will be Golden State's primary defensive assignment. Fudd has a generous 12.5 scoring line, as she's scored at least 17 points in three straight starts.

Golden State has won three straight in this head-to-head series with the Dallas Wings all by at least four points.

The Valkyries have the league's lowest scoring defense, and has limited Dallas to 81 points or less in all four meetings.

After a horrible effort on Monday, Vegas coach Becky Hammon harped on her team’s dismal defense. That’s the focus against the Mercury tonight. With Las Vegas making a focused effort on that end of the floor, an offensively limited Phoenix side (11th in offensive rating) has trouble staying within the sizeable spread.

Projections see 3-pointers making up a good chunk of Gray’s production versus Phoenix, with models at 2.6 makes (7.8 points). That forecast could be low, considering the Mercury are the worst 3-point defense (37.8%) and allow 10.1 triples per contest. 

Kahleah Copper snapped her shooting skid last time out, including making 6 of 14 attempts from beyond the arc. Even in the midst of that funk, Copper had knocked down two or more triples in four of her five games this month. Vegas hasn’t been great protecting the perimeter, allowing 9.5 treys – second behind only Phoenix.

Even in the midst of that funk, Copper had knocked down two or more triples in four of her five games this month. Vegas hasn’t been great protecting the perimeter, allowing the third highest opponent success rate from deep with foes averaging 9.5 treys – second behind only Phoenix.
