Peter's Points: WNBA Best Bets Today (Predictions, Prop Bets for Liberty, Fever, Mystics-Storm, Kelsey Plum)

Sunday's WNBA schedule features four games, headlined by a matchup between the Dallas Wings, led by Paige Bueckers, visiting the Indiana Fever, led by Caitlin Clark. This game pits the last two No. 1 overall draft picks against each other. The afternoon includes another key Eastern Conference clash between the Atlanta Dream and the New York Liberty. The night concludes with interconference games.

As the league approaches the All-Star break, the playoff race is tight, with eight teams trailing the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx by just 3 to 7.5 games. Several of these teams (New York, Atlanta, Seattle, Indiana, Washington) are playing on Sunday, presenting opportunities to improve their standings position.

Betting analysis favors the New York Liberty against the Atlanta Dream. While the teams are 1-1 this season, New York won the home game. The Liberty boast a strong 8-2 home record and a +15.5 net rating at home (second best in the WNBA), contrasting with Atlanta's 4-5 road record and negative road net rating (-0.6). Despite the Liberty's poor record against the spread (ATS), the analysis recommends betting on them to win outright, citing their superior overall team ratings (second in offense, defense, and net rating) compared to Atlanta (third in offense, eighth in defense).

Betting analysis also favors the Indiana Fever to win outright against the Dallas Wings. While expressing some hesitation about covering a 10-point spread, the analysis supports betting on Indiana due to Dallas's poor 2-9 road record and 9-12 ATS record overall. The Fever are coming off a home win against Atlanta after a loss following Caitlin Clark's return from injury.
