The best WNBA betting tips for today

Here are our top WNBA predictions for today:

WNBA prediction 1: Breanna Stewart over 10.5 rebounds @ -130 (1.77)

Our first betting tip today looks at this season’s MVP Breanna Stewart. She rose to the occasion in game 3 of the Finals and kept the Liberty’s dreams alive with 20 points and 12 rebounds showing. She also had 13 rebounds in game 2 and it seems her desire to give the Liberty their first-ever WNBA title helps her on the glass a lot.

Breanna Stewart grabbed 11 or more rebounds in 4 of the last 6 playoff games. She also had 12 rebounds in the last regular season clash vs the Aces. It’s obvious that the mighty tussle between Stewart and Wilson will continue in game 4. It seems right now Breanna is the one with an edge in this battle and that’s why we back her to go for 11 or more rebounds again.

WNBA prediction 2: Over 163.5 total points @ -200 (1.50)

Our next betting tip today backs both teams to reach their scoring averages. This should be more than enough to see the game go over 163 total points. Both teams score 90+ points per game on average this season so reaching that mark should be easy for them.

Game 3 of the Finals was the only one that had fewer than 163 points so far. This was only the second game from the last 10 clashes between the Liberty and the Aces that didn’t go over that mark.

These odds were correct at the time of writing.

Now our WNBA predictions for today are in we’ll give you some more details about what types of betting predictions there are out there and what can you expect to see from us in our daily tips when there is a WNBA game taking place. Here are the main predictions, not all possibilities.

Point spread

This is probably the most popular among bettors WNBA betting option. Here is what a point spread means: The forecasted margin of victory for a game. If a team is a favourite, the spread will have a (-) in front of it; for underdogs, it will have a (+). If you bet on the favourite, the team will need to win by more than the spread. Bet on the underdog: if they lose by less than the spread or win, so do you.

Here is a more detailed  example of how it works: Team A has +10 (-110) odds and Team B has -10 (-110) odds. The +10 means that Team A will have to win by at least 10 points for you to win your bet, while the -10 means Team B has to lose by fewer than 10 points for you to win your bet.

Moneyline

A bet on the money line is just picking the team that will win the game. There is no spread to worry about. This is the simplest form of a wager as all one has to do is select the winner of the match. Either the team selected will win, in which case the bettor will receive a payout on the odds at which he/she has placed their bet—or the team will lose, in which case the bettor chose unsuccessfully.

Over/Under WNBA betting picks

The over/under bet is one of the most popular types of WNBA bet on the market. The over/under, or total, is predicting how many combined points will be scored in a given game. For example, you may see a WNBA game with an over/under set at 170.5. A bet on the over would win if at least 171 points are scored, while a bet on the under would win if less than 171 points are scored. This gives the bettor an advantage in that he/she no longer needs to be concerned about the outcome of a match. All that matters is for the total points to be in the zone selected – over or under.

The same over/under markets can be applied to a single team, or a single half, a single quarter of any specific WNBA match.

What other types of WNBA betting possibilities are out there?

Finally, we give you arguably the most alluring and most abundant betting market out there.

Prop bets (player and game)

Every WNBA game has hundreds of player props and game props to choose from. Common examples include over/under attributes (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, FG made, etc.) totals for a certain player.
