The Toronto Tempo are the worst defensive team in the WNBA, allowing a league-high 93.8 ppg and 112.8 points per 100 possessions. That has proven to be an insurmountable problem in two previous meetings with the Indiana Fever, who not only have by far the highest offensive rating in the league (115.9), but also rank second in pace metrics. I'm backing the Fever to win at up to 92% tonight.
Caitlin Clark o8.5 Total Assists (-143)
Clark was dialed in as a playmaker in August, finishing with 9+ assists in nine of her final 12 games before the World Cup, and she dished a season-high 14 dimes against the Tempo earlier this year.
Her fast-break passing should shine tonight, particularly with the hosts' offense hinging on rookie Kiki Rice, who's learning on the job.

With Napheesa Collier, Olivia Miles, and Kayla McBride on the floor together, the Minnesota Lynx are fearsome on both ends of the court. They rank second in both offensive (113.0) and defensive (103.5) rating, hold opponents to 43.3% shooting from the field, and hit 39.1% of their own shots from three-point range. Minnesota is 17-3 at home this year, and I like the Lynx to win at up to 75% tonight.
Napheesa Collier o2.5 Total Assists (+105)
Napheesa Collier has dished three assists in five of 12 games this season, but all five of them have been at home. The superstar is averaging four dimes at home compared to just 1.5 on the road, and she’s reached this number in five of six games at Target Center. The Liberty are allowing the fifth-most assists to centers at 4.7 per game, and NY has surrendered five per game on the road. Collier sports a 9.1% assist percentage on the road, but that’s doubled to 18.2% at home. Play to 55%.

The Golden State Valkyries are the best defensive scoring team in the league, holding opponents to 75.4 ppg, while also taking a ton of threes and hitting them at a 34.7% clip. This three-and-D approach has been hard to match, and the Portland Fire defense -- which allows 91.1 ppg -- isn't going to slow the Valkyries down tonight. I'm backing Portland to win at up to 90%.
