Minnesota Lynx vs. New York Liberty

• Breanna Stewart, Under 19.5 Points at -109 (DraftKings)

Stewart is averaging 19.2 points per game this season. She has gone over that mark in two of her last three games (including the Commissioner’s Cup), and in three of her last nine. Incidentally, the last two games that went over were against the same team (Las Vegas).

Between her own erratic shooting and an underperforming Liberty offense trying to figure out what’s wrong, she’s missing this mark more than she’s making it. Don’t count on her (or the Liberty offense) getting right against one of the best defenses in the league.

• Sabrina Ionescu, Under 14.5 Points at -106

She finally found her range from behind the line against Vegas in the Commissioner’s Cup (5-13) and scored a season-high 26 points in the game. It was the second time in nine games this season she went over this mark (the first was also vs. Las Vegas).

But Vegas is not known for its defense, and Minnesota is (79.1 points per game allowed on the road; best in the league). The open looks that were available against the Aces will not be there against the Lynx. Keep your expectations low.

• Olivia Miles, Over 18.5 Points at -118

New York plays solid defense at home (78.3 points per game allowed), but it may not be enough to slow down arguably one of the hottest players in the league. After getting off to a slow start and going over this mark once in her first eight games, she has gone over it in nine of her last 11 (over 20 in seven).

The Liberty are a solid team, so she may not surpass this mark until late in the game, but she will.

Chicago Sky vs. Las Vegas Aces

• Jackie Young, Over 19.5 Points at +100

This one is a little tricky because whether or not A’ja Wilson plays will have an impact. Wilson is listed as a game-time decision, and it is unclear whether she’ll play. If she doesn’t, this game will look a lot like the Commissioner’s Cup title game, in which Young went 12-for-21 for 31 points.

But if Wilson does play, it becomes less of a certainty. However, Young went over this total in four of the last five with Wilson in the lineup; three times in games where Wilson scored 30+ points. It is a solid play if Wilson suits up and a great value play at +100 if Wilson is out.

• Kamilla Cardoso, Over 13.5 Points at +102

Cardoso is averaging 14.5 points per game this season. But she has been on a roll in recent games, going over this total in four of her last five games and over 24 points in three of them. Her last game was against the Aces at home (June 28), where she scored 24 points.

Vegas has struggled defensively at home this season, allowing 88.9 points per game (No. 11), often trying to outscore opponents rather than stop them. Teams average 37.8 paint points against the Aces, and 77.5% of Cardoso’s points come in the paint.

She may not hit 20+, but she should clear this total.
