| Sport | Game Selection | Game Time |
|---|---|---|
| WNBA | (639) Golden State Valkyries at (640) Minnesota Lynx: Spread | 9:00pm EDT - Jun 4/2026 |
The PLAY: Minnesota Lynx -2.5 (-110)
Despite playing the entire season without star forward Napheesa Collier, the Lynx are sitting at 7-2 heading into this matchup. They have perhaps been the best two-way team in the league through their first 10 games. Minnesota is second in the league in scoring and first in scoring defense. The Lynx are also 3rd in the league in rebounding and 8-1 ATS this season. Golden State relies heavily on the 3pt shot, ranked first in 3pt attempts and 3pt percentage. The Lynx will counter that with the league's best 3pt defense. Without the three-point shot, the Valkyries are just 14th in the league in field goal shooting. The Lynx roll on at home on Thursday night.
Take the Lynx -2.5

| WNBA | (635) Phoenix Mercury at (636) Seattle Storm: Spread | 10:00pm EDT - Jun 3/2026 |
The PLAY: Seattle Storm +7.5 (-118)
Both teams are struggling thus far on the season, with a combined five wins and 15 losses. Phoenix is slightly better offensively than the Storm, but the Storm holds a decided edge on the defensive end. The Mercury are in the bottom five in scoring defense, field goal defense, and 3pt defense. The Storm are in the top five in each of those categories. The Storm will push the Mercury's losing streak to seven games.
Take Seattle +7.5

| WNBA | (633) Toronto Tempo at (634) New York Liberty: Spread | 8:00pm EDT - Jun 3/2026 |
The PLAY: New York Liberty -8.5 (-106)
The Liberty haven't really been at full strength all season, and that continues on Wednesday night with All-Star guard Sabrina Ionescu out again, this time with a back issue. The good news is that both Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones are healthy and active. In addition, the Liberty are getting plenty of production from their bench, including 32 points in their win over Phoenix this week. New York, despite having Ionescu available for just one game this season, remains deadly from the perimeter. They rank 3rd in 3pt shooting and 2nd in true shooting. They will pick up a third straight win on Wednesday.
Take New York -8.5
