Las Vegas Aces vs. Indiana Fever

  • Kelsey Mitchell, Over 23.5 Points at -114

There will come a day in the not-so-distant future when Kelsey Mitchell has an off night from the floor or simply a bad game. On that night, she may not go over her point total. But as for tonight, she has scored over this total in  11 of her last 13 games.

Mitchell scored 27 in both prior games against Vegas this season. With how Caitlin Clark has been playing lately, it is doubtful they try to double Mitchell. Unless they do, her run is more than likely going to continue. Bet on her until we get a reason not to.

  • A’ja Wilson, Over 27.5 Points at -108

Wilson is averaging 26.56 points per game this season, and has gone over this total in four of her last five games (but in just 13 of 28 this season). Indiana is playing a better overall game of late, but their defense is still pretty lax. Teams averaged 95.4 ppg over the last five against Indiana.

The Fever held Wilson to 209 in Vegas on July 12. But as dynamic a playmaker as she is, against this Indiana defense I can’t justify betting against her to go over her total.

Los Angeles Sparks vs. Minnesota Lynx

  • Napheesa Collier, Over 18.5 Points at -128

After putting up 24 in her season debut, Collier has been relatively quiet on the scoreboard with 15, 16, and 18 points. In two of those games, she just played 25 and 22 minutes, but if the 31 she played against Indiana is any indication, the Lynx may be ready to ramp up her playing time.

If she plays 30+ minutes today, that should be more than enough time to score over 18.5 points against the worst defense in the WNBA(94.3 points per game allowed this season).

  • Olivia Miles, Over 19.5 Points at -106

Miles is averaging 19.7 points per game this season. She has gone over this total in just 13 of 29 games. In her last game (Sunday, vs. Indiana) Miles put up 28, and she had 31 against the Sparks in LA earlier in the season (June 17).

But her scoring has been up and down lately; this over is 5-5 in her last ten games, including an 18-point night against the Sparks (July 15). However, while the inconsistency is troubling, the Sparks allow a league-high 54.2 ppg to guards.

Because of that, I’ll take the over on her point total every time she faces the Sparks.

Toronto Tempo vs. Portland Fire

  • Bridget Carleton, Over 15.5 Points at -114

Carleton is averaging 14.4 points per game this season, 15.6 over her last ten games, and 20.6 in her last five. This game may be Toronto’s best chance to end it’s lengthy (seven) losing streak. Then again, Portland beat the Tempo 99-80 back on May 23.

Carleton only had 15 in that game but has gone over this total in four of her last five. Against a struggling Toronto team, I’ll take her to go over it again.
