Lady luck: Tuesday's best WNBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio Silver Stars at Washington Mystics (6.5, 155)

So who exactly are these San Antonio Silver Stars anyway? Are they the club that got off to a terrific start to the season to pad their supporters’ pockets or are they the team that stumbled heading into the All-Star game? Probably somewhere in between.

San Antonio has a long way to go to find its identity.

"When you consider we have six out of 11 as new players and three rookies, we're probably in a position that maybe we'd hoped that we'd be (at the break)," coach Dan Hughes said of his overhauled roster.

San Antonio should get back on track to begin the second half of the season with a road victory Tuesday.

The Mystics are in over their heads in this matchup and are only 1-7 against the spread in their last eight home games.

Pick: Silver Stars


Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky (-3, 150.5)

A blowout loss to the Indiana Fever wasn’t the way Chicago Sky coach Pokey Chatman wasn’t the way she wanted her team to head into the break – and she wasn’t shy about sharing her thoughts either.

''We're at the turning point where we need to grow up, step up and recognize opportunities.” Chatman told reporters. "It's mental to physical. We played like a young team (Thursday).''

That won’t happen in this spot. The league’s leading scorer, Sylvia Fowles, always plays Connecticut tough. She scored the game-winning bucket in overtime the last time these two clubs hooked up and has scored at least 20 points in each of her last four games.

With seven of the last 10 meetings between the two teams playing over the total, we see this one turning into another shootout.

Pick: Over

WNBA's best and worst bets from the first half
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The WNBA season reaches the midway point with the All-Star game this weekend, and if you've been betting it since the beginning, you've probably had enough by now.

Oddsmakers seem to be doing a much better job of setting lines and totals for a league that is often considered to be somewhere between 'beatable' and 'easily beatable.' But due to the unpredictability of some of the league's teams, particularly the elite teams, many WNBA bettors have already cried uncle and have instead turned their attention back to Major League Baseball.

In any case, whether you plan to keep betting WNBA or are just looking to get started, here is a look at the league's best and worst bets and the biggest first half surprise.

Best Bet: Phoenix Mercury (10-5 ATS)

Phoenix went 15-19 in 2010 and was one of the biggest question marks heading into 2011, especially after Diana Taurasi's tumultuous offseason, which included a doping allegation.

But the Mercury have gotten back to their winning ways, averaging a league-best 92.7 points per game and performing well as both favorites (5-3 ATS) and underdogs (5-2 ATS).

The Mercury were listed as dogs in six of their first eight games, and started the season 0-3. But after rattling off a four-game win streak, oddsmakers changed their tune and quickly adjusted. Over their last seven games, the Mercury have been favored six times and have covered the spread in five of them.

Worst Bet: Atlanta Dream (4-10-1 ATS)

OK, it's technically the Washington Mystics (4-10 ATS), but relative to preseason expectations, the Dream are without question the league's worst bet through the first half of the season.

The Dream were a popular pick to win the WNBA title, and at 6-9 overall, they certainly aren't out of the equation. But they'll have some work to do in the second half just to advance to the postseason, as they are currently second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings ahead of only the Mystics.
The good news? The Dream finally seem to be trending upward. They've won their last three games and covered the spread each time, including twice as dogs.

Best Over Bet: Los Angeles Sparks (8-3-3)

The Sparks have been the league's best over bet, but just as easily, they could be one of the worst. The Sparks have pushed on the total three times, have gone over by a point or less twice, and two of their overs have come in overtime games.

Looking for a possible trend to watch? The Sparks have lost five straight when their game has gone over the posted total. Given the atrocious defense they are playing, that shouldn't be particularly surprising.

The Sparks are near the bottom of the league in all defensive categories and are ninth in points allowed, yielding 81.9 points per game.

Best Under Bet: Seattle Storm (10-5)

Oddsmakers can't set totals low enough for the Storm, easily the WNBA's best defensive team. The Storm allow a league-best 70 points per game, which is 4.3 points fewer than the next closest team, the Indiana Fever (74.3 ppg).

In the season opener against the Mercury, the over/under was set at 169.5 and the teams combined for 149. Since then? Ten of the Storm's last 14 games have had a posted total of less than 150 points, including the last nine.

Even though the Storm went under the total in their most recent game, there doesn't appear to be much value left. Totals in the lower to mid 140s will be increasingly more difficult to stay under going forward.

Biggest Surprise Team: San Antonio Silver Stars (9-5)

At least half of the league's teams have been a surprise, including the Storm (8-7) and Dream (6-9), two contenders who are both underachieving. But the biggest surprise has to be the Silver Stars, who are four games above .500 and have already eclipsed the win total many predicted they would have by season's end.

The Silver Stars began the year as 20-to-1 long shots to win the WNBA title by most sportsbooks, and were projected to finish ahead of only the Tulsa Shock (28-1) and Chicago Sky (33-1). But the Silver Stars, who are 8-6 ATS, have been incredible, especially on the road, where they are 5-2 on the season.

As it stands, the Silver Stars are a game back of the Minnesota Lynx for first in the Western Conference, and just a half-game back of the Mercury.
