WNBA Best Bets: Superstars and Favorites Make Great Parlay
Leg 1 features a heavily favored Washington Mystics team taking on the 1-5 Seattle Storm. While the lowly Storm got their first win of the season, a rare defensive gem in which they escaped despite scoring only 66 points, they faced defeat on Friday to Washington. It is just not going to be enough to slow down Elena Delle Donne and her Washington squad that is averaging 76 points per game. That may not jump off the page, but combined with Seattle’s overall propensity to give up a lot of points, this could get ugly fast. There is no need to dabble in spread country; this is a little tight with a 5.5-point line, so there is expectation that Seattle can slow down the pacing of this game. Ultimately talent prevails, no matter where the game is played.

The second leg requires a simple ask from the Los Angeles Sparks — pick it up on defense. While they seemed to have done just that in their most recent win against Chicago, this is not going to be as easy of a repeat affair. The Sky fell apart offensively and succumbed to forcing shots later in the game. It was a necessary win for Los Angeles to wash out the horrible taste of losing to Seattle, so do not expect letdown here for Los Angeles either. Nneka Ogwumike continues to be the best player on the floor and got a huge boost from Jordin Canada in the backcourt. Combining these two legs gets a healthy +152 parlay off the strength of Washington and Los Angeles repeating victory against the same opponents.
