The recommendations come from Thursday's live Picks & Parlays WNBA picks. Sportsbook prices can move quickly, so confirm the current spread, total and juice before placing a wager.
Fever vs. Wings Best Bets: Indiana -4.5 and Over 185.5
The Fever vs. Wings prediction backs Indiana -4.5 at -105 and Over 185.5 at -105.
Indiana's offense is the central reason to back both plays. The Fever have been one of the league's highest-scoring teams, with Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell driving a perimeter attack that has made Indiana difficult to slow for four quarters.
Dallas is dealing with a major absence after No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd was ruled out for the remainder of the season because of her right knee injury. The Wings still have enough scoring through Paige Bueckers and their veteran guards to contribute to an over, but Indiana has the stronger current offensive profile.
The market has also moved toward the Fever. Indiana was available around -2.5 earlier in the week and is now -4.5.
Best Bets: Indiana Fever -4.5 (-105) and Over 185.5 (-105)
Score Prediction: Fever 98, Wings 91
Dream vs. Sparks Best Bets: Atlanta -8.5 and Under 179.5
The Dream vs. Sparks prediction recommends Atlanta -8.5 and Under 179.5.
Atlanta has moved from -7.5 to -8.5, while the total has fallen from 182.5 to 179.5. The side and total moves fit the same expected game script: the Dream control the matchup, but Los Angeles struggles to contribute enough offense to push the game into a shootout.
The Sparks have enough scoring talent to make any large spread uncomfortable, but Atlanta's two-way profile makes the favorite the stronger side. The under works with that handicap because the cleanest path to an Atlanta cover is sustained defensive control rather than a track meet.
Best Bets: Atlanta Dream -8.5 (-105) and Under 179.5 (-105)
Score Prediction: Dream 94, Sparks 82
Sun vs. Aces Best Bets: Connecticut +14.5 and Under 167.5
The late-game card finishes with the Sun vs. Aces prediction.
Las Vegas is a massive favorite, but the preferred spread bet takes Connecticut +14.5 at -115. A line this large gives the Sun room to lose comfortably while still covering, and the Aces enter the matchup needing to prove they can turn their talent advantage into a full four-quarter margin.
The second play is Under 167.5 at -115. That bet pairs naturally with Connecticut +14.5 because a slower, lower-scoring game gives the underdog more ways to stay inside the number.
Las Vegas can still win decisively without pushing the game over the total. The Picks & Parlays projection has the Aces winning 89-77, which lands comfortably below 167.5 while Connecticut covers the large spread.
Best Bets: Connecticut Sun +14.5 (-115) and Under 167.5 (-115)
Score Prediction: Aces 89, Sun 77
Thursday WNBA Best Bets Card
Thursday's six-play WNBA card spreads the risk across three different games instead of stacking several correlated opinions into one matchup.
Indiana -4.5 and the Over 185.5 lean into the Fever's offensive strength against a Dallas team now missing Fudd for the season. Atlanta -8.5 and Under 179.5 expect the Dream to control Los Angeles without needing an extreme scoring environment. Connecticut +14.5 and Under 167.5 take advantage of an enormous spread in a game where a slower pace helps the underdog remain competitive.
The full card is:
- Indiana Fever -4.5 (-105)
- Fever-Wings Over 185.5 (-105)
- Atlanta Dream -8.5 (-105)
- Dream-Sparks Under 179.5 (-105)
- Connecticut Sun +14.5 (-115)
- Sun-Aces Under 167.5 (-115)
