WNBA Best Bets (Tuesday 6/11)

Get ready for a thrilling tripleheader in the WNBA Commissioners Cup Tuesday. As we approach the final days of Cup action, the intensity is mounting for teams vying for the top spot. With the stakes at their highest, we’re in a prime position to seize the betting opportunities that lie ahead.

Los Angeles Sparks at Seattle Storm

The LA Sparks roll into Tuesday’s game winners of two straight, pulling off impressive wins against the Dallas Wings and the defending champion Las Vegas Aces. While both wins were shocking and impressive, I expect a letdown here against Seattle. The Storm got crushed by the Minnesota Lynx their last time out, putting an end to their six-game win streak. Tuesday’s matchup against the Spark’s bottom-tier defense gives the Storm a perfect opportunity to bounce back. The Sparks have allowed the eighth most opponent points per game this season and the most opponent assists per game in the WNBA. Los Angeles has proven to be an excellent matchup for opposing guards this season, allowing the 11th most points and the 10th most assists to the guard position. We’ll attack this matchup by backing the veteran guard Skylar Diggins-Smith to score and facilitate.

The Sparks’ biggest struggles have come when on the road this season. They have the 10th-worst defensive rating in the WNBA on the road at (104.9). The Storm, on the other hand, have been one of the best home teams in the league. They enter tonight with the second-rated home defense in the league at (90.3). Seattle has come out aggressively scoring on their home floor, averaging the second most points per first quarter in the league at (25.8 PPG). I have two looks in Tuesday’s game to attack the Sparks’ inability to play well on the road this season.
