Liberty vs Lynx combo

Olivia Miles Over 19.5 points

Lynx -6.5

Over 176.5

Olivia Miles has been highly efficient at home, averaging 20.3 ppg at Target Center and just 19.1 everywhere else. She’s scored 20+ in 20 of 38 games overall and 11 of 19 at home.

The New York Liberty has the worst road ATS record in the W at 3-16, and NY has failed to cover in 12 straight road contests. The Minnesota Lynx are 10-10 ATS at home, and the Lynx rank third with a 7.7-point differential. Play to 7.5.

Minnesota is 14-6 to the Over at home, and NY is 15-4 to the Over on the road. Both are top marks in the league, and the Over has hit in both H2H matchups this season.

Despite NY’s defensive struggles on the road, the team ranks third in Offensive Rating.

Check out our full Liberty vs. Lynx predictions.

Fever vs Tempo combo

Fever -13.5

Over 187.5

Kelsey Mitchell Over 2.5 made threes

Both teams have hammered the Over this season, so I’m pairing a big Indiana Fever win with a potent shooting night.

The Over has been a winning ticket in 25 of Indiana’s 40 contests this year, and the Tempo’s banged-up rotation has no shot at containing Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell on the perimeter.

With Indiana very capable of doing the heavy lifting for this total, Toronto has just enough bucket-getters to test the visitors’ less-than-stellar defense (91 PPG allowed in 2026).

Mitchell is shooting a career-best 46% from downtown this season, and I’m wagering that she won’t have cooled off during the break.

She nailed 3+ three-pointers in eight of her 11 outings in August and stands out as a beneficiary if the Fever limit minutes for Clark and Aliyah Boston.

Check out our full Fever vs. Tempo predictions.

Fire vs Valkyries combo

Under 160.5

Kayla Thornton Over 9.5 points

Veronica Burton Over 6.5 assists

Veronica Burton has averaged 6.5 dimes across her last 10 outings, dishing 7+ six times. The Portland Fire have allowed the most assists per game at 23, and Burton handed out six and nine assists in two matchups with PDX.

Key injuries should force the ball into her hands more, making this one a 55% play.

The Golden State Valkyries own the W’s stingiest defense, ranking first in Defensive Rating and fewest points allowed. Portland’s offense is below average on the road, and the V’s are missing multiple key scorers. 

Check out our full Fire vs. Valkyries predictions.

How to trade WNBA combos today

Kalshi users can combine predictions for various markets for every WNBA game! Moneylines, spreads, and totals are fair game, as well as props for a player’s total points, assists, rebounds, 3-pointers made, and combo markets.

Prediction markets like Kalshi set a projected total for traditional markets and player stats, and users can predict whether a team will win/cover, whether the total will go Over/Under, or whether players will reach certain statistical thresholds.

Combining predictions can increase the potential payday, but it also increases the risk. If even one prediction in a three-leg combo is wrong, the whole thing is graded as a loss.

What is Kalshi?

Kalshi is a federally regulated platform for trading event outcomes on prediction markets. Traders can buy and sell simple, transparent contracts that settle based on real-world outcomes. Markets revolve around a yes/no proposition, with prices adjusting dynamically based on traders’ perceived probability that the event will occur. When the event concludes, if you are correct, the contract “honors” at a predetermined price; if you are incorrect, it expires at $0.
