In the second match of the Women's NBA regular season game day, the Phoenix Mercury will face off against the Indiana Fever. Youth clashes with experience as Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi go head-to-head with Caitlin Clark. Phoenix Mercury After their main star Brittney Griner's injury last season, Phoenix's playoff prospects were significantly weakened. The team from Arizona lost the last 11 matches, dropping to the bottom of the table. Phoenix Mercury began this season with a mix of victories against the reigning champions from the Las Vegas Aces and wins over the Atlanta Dream (88:85) and the Washington Mystics (83:80). A series of four consecutive losses followed but was broken by a victory over the Los Angeles Sparks (87:68). The next stretch saw the team going 3-2 in five matches. The second half of June has been more successful for the Arizona squad, with three wins in four matches, including victories over leaders like the New York Liberty (99:93) and the Seattle Storm (92:78). At present, the team has a balanced record of wins and losses (9-8). Indiana Fever In recent years, Indiana has had one of the weakest rosters in the league, with their last playoff appearance dating back to 2016. Last year, the team had another disappointing season, winning 13 matches and falling short of five victories to make it to the playoffs. The draft lottery granted Indiana the first pick again, and the clubs management selected the main star of college basketball in recent years, Caitlin Clark, who set numerous scoring records in college. However, despite Caitlin's bright debut (20 points) in the opening match, Indiana stood no chance against the Connecticut Sun (92:71). The same happened in subsequent matches against the New York Liberty (66:102; 91:80), Connecticut Sun (84:88), and Seattle Storm (85:83). It wasn't until their sixth game of the season that they claimed their first victory, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks (73:78). Indiana then experienced another disappointing stretch, losing to the same Sparks (82:88), Las Vegas Aces (99:80), and Seattle Storm (88:103). In their last five matches, the club secured four victories against the Washington Mystics (88:81), Chicago Sky (91:83), and Atlanta Dream (91:84; 79:91). However, their winning streak was interrupted in the last two matches by Chicago Sky (88:87) and Seattle Storm (89:77). Head-to-head matches In the two head-to-head matches last season, Indiana Fever emerged victorious (73:83; 72:71). Match Prediction: Phoenix Mercury - Indiana Fever Indiana Fever has looked very solid in offence in recent matches, consistently scoring over 80 points. Phoenix has also been playing very effectively this season. This match suggests a TO (173).

In the regular season match of the Women's National Basketball Association, the Chicago Sky will host the Minnesota Lynx on their court. Can the guests clinch victory and secure their top-three spot? Chicago Sky Last season, the team from Illinois played in streaks: after 3-4 consecutive wins, they often followed up with 5-6 defeats. Only the weak results from the bottom half teams allowed Chicago to make it to the playoffs. In the first round of the post-season, the Chicago players lost to the Las Vegas Aces in two matches (87:59; 92:70). This season, the team started quite well: two wins in the first three matches against the New York Liberty (81:90) and the Dallas Wings (74:83). In their other May matches, the Sky defeated the Los Angeles Sparks but lost to the New York Liberty (75:88) and the Indiana Fever (71:70). The June stretch can be considered absolutely disastrous so far. One win in seven matches is not a sign of a team contending for the playoffs. The victory over the weakest team in the regular season at the moment, the Washington Mystics (71:79), slightly improved the club's situation. In the last two matches out of seven, the team secured wins, beating the Indiana Fever (88:87) and the Dallas Wings (83:72). Minnesota Lynx At the end of the regular season, the northernmost team in the WNBA finished 7th in the standings and lost to the Connecticut Sun in a three-match series (90:60; 75:82; 75:90). This season, the team from Minneapolis won two consecutive matches at the start against the Seattle Storm (70:83; 102:93) and lost in overtime to the Connecticut Sun (83:82). After that, the team once again fell to the Connecticut Sun in overtime (83:82). In June, Minnesota had a powerful run of 9 wins out of 10 matches, exchanging victories with the Phoenix Mercury (95:71), twice defeating the Dallas Wings (87:76; 90:78) and the Los Angeles Sparks (62:86; 81:76), as well as thrashing the Seattle Storm (83:64), the Atlanta Dream (68:55), the Phoenix Mercury (73:60), and last year's champion, the Las Vegas Aces (86:100). Moreover, this week, the Minneapolis club clinched the Commissioner's Cup by defeating the New York Liberty (89:94). The winning streak ended the very next night in the game against the Dallas Wings. At present, the Lynx are in third place in the overall regular season table, boasting 13 wins and 4 losses. Head-to-Head In two head-to-head matches last season, the teams exchanged victories (92:87; 79:88). Match Prediction: Chicago Sky vs. Minnesota Lynx The Lynx are the undisputed favourites in today's match, and the team's stumble in Dallas after their cup triumph is unlikely to affect the balance of power for today's game. A victory for the guests with a handicap is an excellent betting option for this match.

In the early Sunday matchup of the 2024 regular season of the Women's National Basketball Association, the New York Liberty will host the Atlanta Dream on their home court. New York Liberty By names alone, the New York Liberty is the most star-studded team in the WNBA. However, the club has yet to clinch its first championship title. The team started last season's summer with a 16-5 record, securing second place in the league, trailing only the defending champions from Las Vegas. In the five games that followed the All-Star Game, the New York Liberty lost to the Dallas Wings and defeated the Washington Mystics (87:96), Indiana Fever (101:83), and Minnesota Lynx (66:76). Overall, the New York Liberty had an exceptional August, securing 14 wins with only two losses. Despite facing some challenges in the playoffs, New York's star lineup made it to the finals but managed only one win against the Las Vegas Aces, who clinched their second consecutive championship. In the first game of the new season, the team defeated the Washington Mystics (80:85). New York then claimed victories over the Indiana Fever twice (66:102; 91:80) and the Seattle Storm (74:63). However, their winning streak was halted by the Chicago Sky (81:90) and the Minnesota Lynx (84:67). Following this, the Liberty secured eight consecutive wins, climbing to second place in the overall regular season standings. A shootout with the Phoenix Mercury (99:93) temporarily halted New York's winning run, but the team bounced back with three double-digit victories. The winning streak was interrupted in the Commissioner's Cup final against the Minnesota Lynx (89:94). Atlanta Dream In last year's regular season, Atlanta secured sixth place but was knocked out in the first round by the Dallas Wings over two games. This season, the team started with two victories against the Los Angeles Sparks (81:92) and Dallas Wings (83:78), followed by two losses to the Phoenix Mercury (88:85) and Minnesota Lynx (79:92). The club's most stable period included two wins in late May and early June, but the team then lost five consecutive games to the Connecticut Sun (50:69), New York Liberty (61:78), Washington Mystics (68:87), and Indiana Fever (91:84). Their only win in the first half of June was against the Chicago Sky (80:89). In the last two games before this matchup, Atlanta was defeated by the Minnesota Lynx (68:55) but surprisingly beat the Connecticut Sun (74:78). Head-to-Head In all head-to-head matchups this season, the New York Liberty secured significant victories (61:78; 75:96). Match Prediction: New York Liberty vs. Atlanta Dream The New York Liberty has displayed monstrous scoring in recent games, consistently reaching over 91 points. I believe achieving their norm against Atlanta in a back-to-back will be an achievable task.

In the second game of the day in the Women's National Basketball Association regular season, the Seattle Storm will host the Dallas Wings. Can Caitlin Clark's team secure their fourth consecutive victory? Seattle Storm Following the departure of Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart, the club entered a deep rebuild that was expected to drag on indefinitely, judging by last season. However, the 2024 season's start turned out to be extraordinarily successful for the Storm, despite not-so-optimistic forecasts before the regular season's beginning. The players signed by the club, Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith, have shown that they were written off prematurely. After losing three of their first four matches to the Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty, starting from 23 May, the Seattle Storm produced an impressive run of 8 wins in 10 matches. The team defeated the Indiana Fever (85:83; 88:103), Washington Mystics (101:69), Chicago Sky (68:77), Phoenix Mercury (80:62), Los Angeles Sparks (95:79) and the Dallas Wings (84:92). Two losses during this stretch, to the Minnesota Lynx (83:64) and Phoenix Mercury (83:64), were a bit of a setback but did not overshadow the unexpectedly strong start. In their last two games before this encounter, Seattle defeated one of the season's leaders, Connecticut Sun (72:61), and Indiana Fever (89:77). Dallas Wings Last season, Dallas defeated the Atlanta Dream in two games in the first round of the playoffs (94:82; 101:74). However, in the semi-finals, the Texas club was without a chance against the eventual champions, the Las Vegas Aces (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). This season, the team from Texas started by trading victories with the Chicago Sky (87:79; 74:83). In the remaining May matches, the Dallas Wings lost to the Atlanta Dream (83:78) and defeated Phoenix Mercury (92:107) and Los Angeles Sparks (83:84) away. In June, Latricia Trammell's squad lost all 8 matches. While the two defeats to Connecticut Sun (74:72; 67:85), the reigning champions Las Vegas Aces (81:95), and the in-form Seattle Storm (84:92) are understandable, the losses to the Minnesota Lynx (87:76; 90:78) and Phoenix Mercury (90:97) were unexpected setbacks. Due to this poor run, the team dropped to the 11th place in the overall regular season standings. Considering the remaining matches in June, it will be very challenging to get back into the playoff zone. Nevertheless, in the most recent match against one of the regular season leaders, the Minnesota Lynx (94:88), the Texas team managed to break their losing streak. Head-to-Head Encounters In the only head-to-head encounter this season, Seattle Storm came out on top (84:92). Prediction for the match Seattle Storm vs Dallas Wings Seattle has encountered defensive issues in their recent matches, conceding an unusual 80+ points for this season. However, Dallas is still in a state of crisis, and it will be very challenging for them to score around 80 points against one of the leaders. Thus, today it would be wise to consider the option of the visitors' individual total under 77.5 points.

In an early Saturday match of the regular season, the Washington Mystics will face off against the Connecticut Sun. Can the reigning champions secure their fourth consecutive win? Washington Mystics At the end of last season's regular championship, the team from the U.S. capital managed to stay in the playoff zone. However, in the first round, they lost both games to their today's opponents, the New York Liberty (90:75; 90:85). This season, the Mystics started with 12 (!) consecutive defeats. Naturally, given such a start, Washington was at the bottom of the table. However, in their last five games, the capital club defeated the Dallas Wings twice (92:84; 97:69) and managed to secure a victory over the Chicago Sky (83:81). An overtime defeat from the regular-season leader Connecticut Sun (91:94) was expected, but the capital team again managed to stay close to the end against the favourites. Currently, the Mystics share the last place in the table with the Los Angeles Sparks. Las Vegas Aces Last season, the Las Vegas Aces, under the lead of Becky Hammon, had to defend the championship title won in 2022. The team had a very consistent first part of the regular season. However, the end of August was less successful, with three wins in six matches far from a championship pace. Nevertheless, they caught up in September with four consecutive victories. To reach the main finals, the Aces expended the minimum number of matches. In the first round, they obliterated the Chicago Sky (87:59; 92:70). In the semifinals, the Dallas Wings provided more resistance but still lost all matches (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). In the final series against the New York Liberty, the champions took one extra match to defend the title, making a golden double. This season, Becky Hammon's wards started off in a champion's fashion, securing four wins in the first five matches. However, the June stretch can already be called a failure for Vegas. The team lost five matches to the Atlanta Dream (78:74), Seattle Storm (65:78), Los Angeles Sparks (96:92), Minnesota Lynx (86:100), and New York Liberty (82:90). Only in the last five games have the Aces managed to pull their win-loss balance to a positive side (9:6). In the last game before today's match, the Aces defeated the Chicago Sky (83:95). Head-to-Head In the last head-to-head match last season, the Aces emerged victorious (84:75). Prediction for the Match: Chicago Sky vs Las Vegas Aces The Aces are starting to pull out of the steep dive they found themselves in during the first half of June. I think Becky Hammon's wards should easily deal with the struggling Washington in this match. However, producing two consecutive performances with 90+ points over two days will not be easy, so today I suggest considering the option of the visitors' individual total under 92.5 points.

In the last match of the regular season in the Women's National Basketball Association, the Seattle Storm will host the Indiana Fever. Will Caitlin Clark's team secure their fourth consecutive victory? Seattle Storm After the departure of Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart, the club went into a deep rebuild, which, judging by last season, was expected to be indefinite. In the middle of the last championship, the Seattle Storm were on a losing streak of ten consecutive games. The team had a decent stretch; however, they stumbled again at the end of August, losing three of their last four games. Thanks to a mid-summer surge, the team managed to surpass the Phoenix Mercury, but that was the only positive aspect of the previous season. Nonetheless, the beginning of the 2024 season was exceptionally successful for the Storm, despite the gloomy forecasts before the regular season. The players Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith, signed by the club, proved their worth. Despite losing three of their first four matches against the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty, from 23 May, the Seattle Storm went on an impressive run of 8 wins in 10 matches. The team defeated the Indiana Fever (85:83; 88:103), Washington Mystics (101:69), Chicago Sky (68:77), Phoenix Mercury (80:62), Los Angeles Sparks (95:79) and Dallas Wings (84:92). The two losses during this stretch to the Minnesota Lynx (83:64) and Phoenix Mercury (83:64) were a minor setback, but the unexpectedly strong start of the team is noteworthy. In the last match before this encounter, Seattle defeated one of this season's leaders, Connecticut (72:61). Indiana Fever In recent years, Indiana has had one of the weakest rosters in the league, with the last playoff appearance dating back to 2016. Last year, the team had another disappointing season, winning just 13 games and falling short by 5 wins to make the playoffs. The draft lottery once again bestowed the first pick upon Indiana, and the management didn't hesitate to select the college basketball star of recent years, who set numerous scoring records, Caitlin Clark. Despite Clark's dazzling debut (20 points) in the opening match, Indiana was handily defeated by the Connecticut Sun (92:71). The same happened in the following matches against the New York Liberty (66:102; 91:80), Connecticut Sun (84:88), and Seattle Storm (85:83). It wasn't until their sixth game of the season that they secured their first victory, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks (73:78). Then Indiana slipped again, losing to the Sparks (82:88), Las Vegas Aces (99:80), and Seattle Storm (88:103). In the last five matches, the club claimed four victories over the Washington Mystics (88:81), Chicago Sky (91:83), and Atlanta Dream (91:84; 79:91). Their winning streak was only recently snapped by the Chicago Sky (88:87). The regular season is long, so it is premature to assert that Indiana has found its stride and will make the playoffs for the first time in years, but the progress in the Fever's game can't be ignored. Head-to-head Matches In two head-to-head matches this season, the Seattle Storm claimed victories (85:83; 88:103). Prediction for the Match: Seattle Storm vs. Indiana Fever The Indiana Fever have looked solid in attack in their recent games, consistently scoring over 80 points. Seattle, in the second half of June, no longer looks as robust in defence as at the start of the season. I believe that an individual total over (ITO) of 78.5 points for the Fever in the match is a well-justified bet.

In the third match of the WNBA regular season game day, the Washington Mystics will face off against the Connecticut Sun. Can the home team secure their fifth victory in the last six matches? Washington Mystics Towards the end of last seasons regular championship, the team from the US capital managed to remain in the playoff zone but they lost in the first round to the New York Liberty in two matches (90:75; 90:85). This season, the Mystics started with an astonishing 12 consecutive losses. Naturally, given such a start, Washington was at the bottom of the table. However, in their last five matches, the capital club defeated the Dallas Wings twice (92:84; 97:69) and also secured victories over the Atlanta Dream (68:87) and Chicago Sky (83:81). Connecticut Sun Connecticut remains the most stable club in the WNBA. For the past seven years, the team has consistently passed the first round of the playoffs, reaching the final twice. However, the first championship has yet to come to the club from the small town of Uncasville. In the first round of last year's playoffs, the Sun defeated the Minnesota Lynx in a three-game series. In the semi-finals, the "sunny" club won the first match against the New York Liberty (63:78) but lost in the remaining three (84:77; 81:92; 84:87). This year, the Connecticut Sun drafted Leila Lacan from France, who has not yet played a game for the club. This season, the team started phenomenally, winning nine matches in a row. The star-studded New York Liberty ended this streak (75:82). Nonetheless, after this game, the "sunny" team secured four consecutive victories over the Indiana Fever (89:72), Chicago Sky (75:83), Dallas Wings (75:83), and Los Angeles Sparks (79:70). However, in their last two matches, the Sun lost away to their chasers, the Las Vegas Aces (85:74) and Seattle Storm (72:61). Currently, the Connecticut Sun are in second place in the WNBA regular season standings with a 13-3 win-loss record. Head-to-Head In the last head-to-head match on June 5, the Connecticut Sun emerged victorious (76:59). Prediction for the Match Washington Mystics vs Connecticut Sun The Washington Mystics are on a two-match winning streak. Connecticut, after a strong start, has recently stumbled and needs a victory against the underdog by any score to climb out of this minor slump. I believe Washington will be able to hold on until the end, so I propose taking the plus in this game.

In the Women's National Basketball Association regular-season match, the Chicago Sky will host the Las Vegas Aces. Whose two-game winning streak will end tomorrow? Chicago Sky Last season, the Illinois team played in streaks: 3-4 consecutive wins were followed by 5-6 defeats, and only the weak results of teams in the lower part of the standings allowed Chicago to make it to the playoffs. In the first round of the postseason, the Chicago basketball players lost to the Las Vegas Aces in two games (87:59; 92:70). This season, the team started quite well, with two wins in their first three games against the New York Liberty (81:90) and the Dallas Wings (74:83). In the rest of their May matches, the Sky defeated the Los Angeles Sparks but also lost to the New York Liberty (75:88) and the Indiana Fever (71:70). The June segment can be described as absolutely disastrous. One victory in seven matches is certainly not indicative of a team fighting for the playoffs. A win over the weakest team of the regular season at the moment, the Washington Mystics (71:79), slightly improved the clubs affairs. In their last two matches, the team defeated the Indiana Fever (88:87) and the Dallas Wings (83:72). Las Vegas Aces Last season, the Las Vegas Aces, under the guidance of Becky Hammon, had to defend the championship title won in the 2022 season. The team went through the first part of the regular season very smoothly, however, the end of August was not very successful for the Aces. Three wins in six games are far from a champion's pace. Nevertheless, they managed to catch up in September with 4 consecutive victories. To advance to the grand final, the Aces spent the minimum number of matches. In the first round, they trounced the Chicago Sky (87:59; 92:70). In the semi-finals, the Dallas Wings offered more resistance but still lost in all games (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). In the final series against the New York Liberty, the champions needed one more game to defend their title and make a golden double. This season, Becky Hammon's team started in a championship manner, winning 4 out of their first 5 games. However, the June segment can already be called disastrous for Vegas. The team lost five matches to the Atlanta Dream (78:74), Seattle Storm (65:78), Los Angeles Sparks (96:92), Minnesota Lynx (86:100), and New York Liberty (82:90). Only in their last 4 games did the Aces manage to swing the balance of wins and losses to the positive side. Match Prediction for Chicago Sky vs Las Vegas Aces The Aces are starting to pull out of the steep dive they experienced in the first half of June. In this match, Becky Hammon's team should have no trouble dealing with the inconsistent Chicago. A win with a handicap is an excellent betting option for this game.

Tomorrow in the Womens National Basketball Association regular season, the Dallas Wings will host the Minnesota Lynx. Will the home team secure their first victory in June? Dallas Wings Last season, Dallas triumphed over the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs in two matches (94:82; 101:74). However, in the semi-finals, the Texas club fell without a chance to the eventual champions, the Las Vegas Aces (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). This season, the Texas team started with an exchange of victories with the Chicago Sky (87:79; 74:83). In the remaining May games, the Dallas Wings were defeated by the Atlanta Dream (83:78) but scored away victories over the Phoenix Mercury (92:107) and the Los Angeles Sparks (83:84). In June, Latricia Trammell's team lost all 8 matches. While the two losses to the Connecticut Sun (74:72; 67:85), the reigning champions from the Las Vegas Aces (81:95), and the cruising Seattle Storm (84:92) are somewhat understandable, the defeats by the Washington Mystics (87:76; 90:78) and the Phoenix Mercury (90:97) came as a surprise. Because of this disastrous stretch and, in particular, the recent losses to Washington, the Texas team has dropped to the bottom of the overall standings. Considering the fixture list, it will be very challenging for them to return to the playoff zone by the end of June. Minnesota Lynx Following the regular season, the most northern team in the WNBA finished 7th in the standings and lost to the Connecticut Sun in a three-match series (90:60; 75:82; 75:90). This season, the Minneapolis team secured two consecutive victories at the start against the Seattle Storm (70:83; 102:93) and lost to the Connecticut Sun in overtime (83:82). In June, Minnesota went on a powerful streak, winning 9 of their 10 games, exchanging victories with the Phoenix Mercury (95:71), defeating the Dallas Wings twice (87:76; 90:78), and the Los Angeles Sparks (62:86; 81:76). They also crushed the Seattle Storm (83:64), Atlanta Dream (68:55), Phoenix Mercury (73:60), and last year's champion, the Las Vegas Aces (86:100). Moreover, last night, the Minneapolis club claimed the Commissioner's Cup, beating the New York Liberty (89:94). Currently, the Lynx hold second place in the overall standings of the regular season, having 13 victories and 3 losses. Head-to-Head Matches In the two head-to-head matches this season, the Minnesota Lynx emerged victorious (87:76; 90:78). Prediction for the Match: Dallas Wings vs. Minnesota Lynx The Lynx are undoubted favourites for todays match, but the euphoria from winning the Commissioner's Cup and the short break between games could play a nasty trick on the team. I believe this game will not be a blowout, and the home team will not lose by a double-digit margin.

In the final game of the Commissioners Cup in the 2024 WNBA season, the New York Liberty will face the Minnesota Lynx on their home court. New York Liberty In terms of star power, the New York Liberty is the most stellar team in the WNBA. However, the club has yet to claim its first championship. The team started last summer with a record of 16-5, sitting in second place overall in the league, trailing only the reigning champions from Las Vegas. In the next five games after the All-Star break, the New York Liberty fell to the Dallas Wings but defeated the Washington Mystics (87:96), Indiana Fever (101:83), and Minnesota Lynx (66:76). Overall, the New York Liberty had a fantastic August, securing 14 wins with only two losses. After that, the Liberty achieved eight consecutive victories, rising to second place in the overall regular season standings. A high-scoring game against the Phoenix Mercury (99:93) briefly slowed New York's winning momentum, but the team bounced back with three straight wins by double-digit margins. Minnesota Lynx At the end of the regular season, the northernmost team in the WNBA finished 7th in the standings and lost to the Connecticut Sun in a best-of-three series (90:60; 75:82; 75:90). This season, the team from Minneapolis started with two consecutive victories over the Seattle Storm (70:83; 102:93) but fell to the Connecticut Sun in overtime (83:82). In June, Minnesota had a powerful string of 9 wins in 10 games, trading wins with the Phoenix Mercury (95:71), beating the Dallas Wings twice (87:76; 90:78), and the Los Angeles Sparks (62:86; 81:76), as well as routing the Seattle Storm (83:64), the Atlanta Dream (68:55), the Phoenix Mercury (73:60), and last year's champions, the Las Vegas Aces (86:100). As of now, the Lynx holds the second position in the overall regular season standings, with 13 wins and only 3 losses. Head-to-Head In the only head-to-head game this season, the Minnesota Lynx claimed a significant victory with a score of 84:67. Match Forecast: New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx Both teams are on winning streaks, and while New York's current form is expected, Minnesota's strong start is one of the season's biggest surprises. However, the Lynx's performance is no fluke. The team boasts the strongest defence in the league at the moment, allowing an average of 73.8 points per game. I believe the best betting option for this match is the New York Liberty's individual total under 84.5 points.

In the first game of the regular season of the Women's National Basketball Association, the Atlanta Dream will host the Indiana Fever on their court. Can Caitlin Clark's team secure their fourth consecutive victory? Atlanta Dream Last season, Atlanta finished in 6th place and lost in the first round to the Dallas Wings in two games. This season, the team started with two victories against the Los Angeles Sparks (81:92) and the Dallas Wings (83:78), but faced defeats from the Phoenix Mercury (88:85) and the Minnesota Lynx (79:92). Their most stable period included two wins in late May and early June, but in the next five games, the team lost to the Connecticut Sun (50:69), New York Liberty (61:78), Washington Mystics (68:87), and Indiana Fever (91:84). Their only victory in the first half of June was against the Chicago Sky (80:89). In their most recent game before this matchup, Atlanta lost to the Minnesota Lynx (68:55). Indiana Fever In recent years, Indiana has had one of the weakest rosters in the league, with their last playoff appearance dating back to 2016. Last year, the team once again had a disappointing season, winning 13 games and falling 5 wins short of making the playoffs. The draft lottery once again rewarded Indiana with the first pick, and the club's management, without hesitation, selected the biggest star in college basketball in recent years, Caitlin Clark, who set numerous scoring records in college. Despite a brilliant debut (20 points) by Caitlin in the opening game, Indiana was soundly defeated by the Connecticut Sun (92:71). This trend continued in subsequent matches against the New York Liberty (66:102; 91:80), Connecticut Sun (84:88), and Seattle Storm (85:83). Only in their 6th game of the season did they secure their first victory, beating the Los Angeles Sparks (73:78). But then, Indiana had another disappointing stretch, losing again to the Sparks (82:88), Las Vegas Aces (99:80), and Seattle Storm (88:103). In their last four games, the club secured four victories against the Washington Mystics (83:85; 88:81), Chicago Sky (91:83), and today's opponents, the Atlanta Dream (71:70). It's too early to say that Indiana has completely found their game and emerged from the crisis, but the progress in the Fever's gameplay cannot be ignored. Head-to-Head In their most recent match this season, Indiana Fever emerged victorious (91:84). Prediction for the Match: Atlanta Dream vs. Indiana Fever Indiana Fever is on a three-game winning streak but has conceded more than 80 points in their last five games. Considering this, a bet on the individual total over (ITO) 79.5 points for the hosts seems like an excellent choice for this match, as predicting a clear winner would be challenging.

In the regular season match of the Women's National Basketball Association, the Chicago Sky will host the Dallas Wings. Whose losing streak will end tomorrow? Chicago Sky Last season, the team from Illinois played in streaks: 3-4 consecutive wins followed by 5-6 losses, and only the weak results of the teams at the bottom of the table allowed Chicago to make the playoffs. In the first round of the postseason, the Chicago players lost to the Las Vegas Aces in two matches (87:59; 92:70). This season the team started quite well: two wins in the first three matches against the New York Liberty (81:90) and Dallas Wings (74:83). In the remaining matches in May, the Sky beat the Los Angeles Sparks, but also lost to the New York Liberty (75:88) and Indiana Fever (71:70). The June segment can be described as absolutely disastrous so far. One win in seven matches is certainly not indicative of a team fighting for a playoff spot. A victory over the weakest team of the regular season so far, the Washington Mystics (71:79), slightly improved the club's situation. Dallas Wings Last season, Dallas defeated the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs in two matches (94:82; 101:74). However, in the semifinals, the Texas club had no chance against the future champions, the Las Vegas Aces (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). This season, the team from Texas started with a split of victories against the Chicago Sky (87:79; 74:83). In the remaining May matches, the Dallas Wings lost to the Atlanta Dream (83:78) but beat the Phoenix Mercury (92:107) and the Los Angeles Sparks (83:84) on the road. In June, Latricia Trammell's wards lost all 8 matches. If two losses to the Connecticut Sun (74:72; 67:85), the reigning champions Las Vegas Aces (81:95), and the surging Seattle Storm (84:92) are quite understandable, then the losses to the Minnesota Lynx (87:76; 90:78) and Phoenix Mercury (90:97) came as a surprise. Because of this disastrous stretch, the team dropped to 11th place in the overall standings, and considering the schedule, it will be very difficult to return to the playoff zone by the end of June. Head-to-Head This season, the teams exchanged victories in head-to-head meetings (74:83; 87:79). Prediction for the Match: Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings Both teams are in crisis, but Dallas has recently lost (in a fight) to the season's leaders, only being heavily defeated by Connecticut. Chicago's opponents in the last five matches have mostly been from the bottom half of the table, and their form raises even more questions. I think a bet on the visitors' victory in tomorrow's game may seem risky due to the odds, but it appears quite justified.

In the main event of the WNBA regular season, the "Las Vegas Aces" will face off against the "Seattle Storm". Las Vegas Aces Last season, the "Las Vegas Aces," under the guidance of Becky Hammon, were tasked with defending the championship title they secured in the 2022 season. The team performed consistently in the first part of the regular season, but the end of August was not as successful. Three wins in six games are far from championship form. Nevertheless, they made up for it in September with four consecutive victories. To reach the grand final, the "Aces" expended the minimum number of matches. In the first round, they crushed the "Chicago Sky" (87:59; 92:70). The semifinals saw more resistance from the "Dallas Wings," but they also succumbed in all matches (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). In the final series against the "New York Liberty," the champions took an extra game to defend their title and complete the golden double. This season, Becky Hammons squad started in championship style, winning four out of their first five matches. However, the June stretch has already been catastrophic for Vegas. The team lost to the "Atlanta Dream" (78:74), "Seattle Storm" (65:78), "Los Angeles Sparks" (96:92), "Minnesota Lynx" (86:100), and "New York Liberty" (82:90). Only victories over the "Phoenix Mercury" (99:103) and "Dallas Wings" (81:95) have kept the "Aces" in the playoffs zone. Seattle Storm After the departure of Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart, the club entered a deep rebuild that, based on last season, appeared indefinite. In the middle of the last championship, the "Seattle Storm" endured a ten-game losing streak. The team had a good stretch, with three wins in five games, which can be seen as a smooth bounce back. However, the end of August saw Seattle falter again with three defeats in their last four games. A mid-summer run allowed the team to surpass the "Phoenix Mercury," but that was the sole positive takeaway from last season. However, the start of the 2024 season turned out to be remarkably successful for the "Storm," despite bleak forecasts before the regular season began. New signings Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith proved they were far from finished. Following defeats in three of their first four games to the "Minnesota Lynx" and "New York Liberty," starting from 23 May, the "Seattle Storm" delivered an impressive run of eight wins in ten games. The team triumphed over the "Indiana Fever" (85:83; 88:103), "Washington Mystics" (101:69), "Chicago Sky" (68:77), "Phoenix Mercury" (80:62), "Los Angeles Sparks" (95:79), and "Dallas Wings" (84:92). The two losses in this period to the "Minnesota Lynx" (83:64) and "Phoenix Mercury" (83:64) were a bit of a setback, but the unexpectedly strong start cannot be ignored. Head-to-Head In the latest head-to-head matchup this season, the "Seattle Storm" emerged victorious (65:78). Match Prediction: Las Vegas Aces vs. Seattle Storm I don't believe in a blowout victory for the home team, and I dont quite understand the bookmakers' confidence in this outcome. The reigning champions are incredibly erratic at the start, and for Becky Hammon, this period in her still-short coaching career as a head coach is the most challenging. I think a handicap on the visitors in today's match is a very good betting option.

In the sole match of the 2023/2024 regular season's game day in the Women's National Basketball Association, the Minnesota Lynx will host the Dallas Wings on their home court. Minnesota Lynx By the end of the regular season, the northernmost team in the women's NBA took the 7th spot on the table and lost to the Connecticut Sun in a three-game series (90:60; 75:82; 75:90). This season, the Minneapolis team secured two consecutive victories at the start against the Seattle Storm (70:83; 102:93) and lost to the Connecticut Sun in overtime (83:82). Then, the team again fell to the Connecticut Sun in overtime (83:82). In June, Minnesota had a strong run, winning six out of seven matches, exchanging wins with the Phoenix Mercury (95:71) and defeating the Dallas Wings (87:76), the Los Angeles Sparks (62:86; 81:76), the Seattle Storm (83:64), and the Las Vegas Aces (86:100). At the moment, the Lynx occupy the third spot in the overall regular season table. Dallas Wings Last season, Dallas defeated the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs in two games (94:82; 101:74). However, in the semi-finals, the Texas club had no chance against the future champions, the Las Vegas Aces (97:83; 91:84; 61:64). This season, the Texas team started with an exchange of victories with the Chicago Sky (87:79; 74:83). In the remaining May matches, the Dallas Wings lost to the Atlanta Dream (83:78) but won away against the Phoenix Mercury (92:107) and the Los Angeles Sparks (83:84). In June, Latricia Trammell's squad lost all six of their matches. While the two losses to the Connecticut Sun (74:72; 67:85), the reigning champions Las Vegas Aces (81:95), and the cruising Seattle Storm (84:92) were understandable, the unexpected defeats to the Minnesota Lynx (87:76) and the Phoenix Mercury (90:97) were surprises. Due to this poor stretch, the team dropped to 11th place on the overall regular season table, and considering their schedule, returning to the playoff zone by the end of June will be very challenging. Head-to-Head In their last head-to-head meeting in early June, the home victory went to the Minnesota Lynx (87:76). Match Prediction: Minnesota Lynx vs. Dallas Wings The Minnesota Lynx have demonstrated very organised defence at the start of the season, and I believe the "problematic" Dallas will hardly breach their individual total over in this game. 78 points is too high a threshold for the visitors in their current state, so I suggest playing through the under in this matchup.

In the second match of the game day of the regular season of the Women's National Basketball Association, the "Indiana Fever" will host the "Atlanta Dream" on their home court. Can Caitlin Clark's team outplay a direct competitor for a playoff spot and secure their second consecutive victory? "Indiana Fever" In recent years, Indiana has had one of the weakest rosters in the league, with the last playoff appearance dating back to 2016. Last year, the team once again had an unsuccessful season, winning only 13 games and falling 5 victories short of making it to the playoffs. The draft lottery once again offered Indiana the first pick, and without hesitation, the club management selected the main star of college basketball in recent years, who set many scoring records in college, Caitlin Clark. However, despite a bright debut (20 points) by Caitlin in the opening match, Indiana hopelessly lost to "Connecticut Sun" (92:71). This was followed by defeats against "New York Liberty" (66:102; 91:80), "Connecticut Sun" (84:88), and "Seattle Storm" (85:83). It was not until the 6th game of the season that Indiana secured their first victory by defeating the "Los Angeles Sparks" (73:78). Indiana then went through another losing streak, falling to the same "Sparks" (82:88), "Las Vegas Aces" (99:80), and "Seattle Storm" (88:103). "Chicago Sky" Last season, the Illinois team played in series: after 3-4 consecutive wins, they would suffer 5-6 defeats, and only the weak results of teams in the lower part of the standings allowed Chicago to make it to the playoffs. In the first round of the postseason, the Chicago players lost to the "Las Vegas Aces" in two matches (87:59; 92:70). This season, the team started fairly well: two victories in the first three matches against "New York Liberty" (81:90) and "Dallas Wings" (74:83). In the remaining May games, "Sky" defeated "Los Angeles Sparks" but lost to "New York Liberty" (75:88) and "Indiana Fever" (71:70). June has thus far been absolutely disastrous. One victory in six matches is certainly not indicative of a team fighting for a playoff spot. A win against the weakest team of the regular season at the moment, the "Washington Mystics" (71:79), slightly improved the club's situation. Head-to-Head In the last head-to-head match of this season, the "Indiana Fever" emerged victorious (71:70). Forecast for the Match "Indiana Fever" vs "Chicago Sky" "Indiana" looks decent in recent matches, but the team has significant defensive issues. In the last 4 matches, the "Fever" opponents have consistently scored more than 83 points. I believe, despite all the problems, the "Sky" has a good chance of scoring more than 82 points today.

Tomorrow morning in the NBA Finals, the Dallas Mavericks will face off against the Boston Celtics. Dallas Mavericks The Dallas Mavericks find themselves in a tough spot after their third consecutive loss in the final series against the Boston Celtics, diminishing their chances of winning the title. In the last game, the team showcased an incredible comeback, narrowing a significant 21-point deficit thanks to a powerful 22-2 run. Despite Luka Dončić's efforts, who scored 27 points, with 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Kyrie Irving leading with 35 points, the Mavericks fell short, finishing the match with a 7-point deficit, 99-106.The Mavericks issues in this series are evident not only in the lack of support from other players but also in the difficulties with defence against the multifaceted attack of the Celtics. Beyond the stellar play of their main roster, Dončić and Irving are facing defensive challenges, which have become a critical point in the battle against such a strong opponent. Even when the Dončić-Irving duo managed to score over 60 points combined, the rest of the team could only muster 37 points. Role players like Kleber, Hardaway, or Exum faced shaky hands and legs. Coach Jason Kidd and Luka Dončić himself have emphasised the importance of the trials great players must go through. Despite the current struggles, Dončić remains optimistic, though few outside of Mavericks fans share that belief. Luka performed poorly in the 4th quarter, fouling out with 6 fouls four minutes before the end. Boston Celtics The Boston Celtics continue to showcase their superiority in the final series, extending their lead to 3-0 after defeating the Dallas Mavericks 106-99. This victory marks their tenth consecutive playoff win and solidifies their perfect away record this season (7-0). The team stands on the brink of a championship, which would allow them to tie with the Los Angeles Lakers in the number of NBA championship titles18. Jayson Tatum once again made his mark with 31 points, while Jaylen Brown added 30 points. Both players demonstrated excellent performance, showing why the Celtics are currently the stronger and more talented team. In the third game, the Celtics coped without Kristaps Porziņģis, who missed the match due to a leg injury. Despite his absence, the team exhibited high calibre, successfully containing the Mavericks' attempts to close the gap, which at one point reached 21 points. An outstanding performance in the third quarter, where the Celtics scored 35 points, allowed them to create a significant lead, despite their advantage narrowing to 3 points in the fourth quarter. The Celtics' defensive efficiency, which kept the Mavericks under 100 points in each game of the series, played a crucial role in their third consecutive victory in the finals.The team approaches the fourth game with hopes of closing out the series and securing the title. The tension and anticipation are high, as is the confidence of the Celtics players, who emphasise their readiness to achieve more. Statistical history favours the Boston Celtics, considering that teams leading 3-0 in a playoff series have never lost. Prediction for the Match: Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics I expect a well-deserved sweep in the NBA Finals, with the Celtics being head and shoulders above the Mavericks in all aspects. Dončić, with multiple injuries and atrocious defence, won't be able to carry even one game on his own. Anticipate at least 50 points from the Tatum-Brown duo and a confident Boston victory away, sealing the series 4-0. They have earned this win.

In Game 3 of the NBA Finals tomorrow morning, the Dallas Mavericks will face off against the Boston Celtics. Dallas Mavericks The Dallas Mavericks are on the brink of elimination after losing two consecutive home games, which deepens their predicament in the series against the Boston Celtics. Luka Dončić once again showcased an impressive performance, securing a triple-double with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, reaffirming his status as the team's key player despite dealing with three injuries. However, despite his efforts, the rest of the team couldn't provide effective support. In particular, Kyrie Irving added only 16 points, and the Mavericks' bench contributed just 9 points, which played a role in their 105-98 loss. Luka Dončić is battling health issues, suffering from injuries to his chest, right knee, and left ankle, raising concerns ahead of the next games. Despite this, Dončić confidently stated that he feels good and is ready for the following matches. However, for Dallas to overcome their current situation, it is crucial for Irving to find a way to improve his game, especially given his recent weak performances, averaging only 14 points with low shooting percentages, including no three-pointers. It is important that the Mavericks do not rely entirely on Dončić, especially in such a critical moment of the series. They need enhanced support from Irving and the rest of the team if they wish to turn the tide of the series and get back into the fight. Boston Celtics The Boston Celtics are in outstanding form in the Finals, leading the series 2-0 after their 105-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the last game. Jrue Holiday scored 26 points in that match, showing high efficiency by making 11 out of 14 shots. Jaylen Brown added 21 points and 7 assists, while Jayson Tatum finished with 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 12 assists. Effective defence in the fourth quarter allowed the Celtics to maintain their lead despite the Mavericks' attempts to close the gap. Historically, teams leading 2-0 in the NBA Finals often go on to become champions, and the Celtics aim to continue that traditionwinning 31 out of 36 times in such scenarios. Ahead of the third game, the Boston Celtics aim to preserve their perfect away record in the playoffs. Jrue Holiday expressed the team's intention to remain hungry for victory and continue executing the game plan. The team has confirmed its superiority in the early stages by using various defensive strategies to neutralise the Mavericks' key players, Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. Despite inconsistency in offence, including a low three-point shooting percentage, the Celtics continue to win thanks to their depth and defensive prowess. Match Prediction: Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics Even without Porziņģis, Boston's offence remains a formidable force. I'm betting on the visitors' individual total over 105.5 in Game 3. The team needs to regain its three-point shooting form; in Game 2, they missed 8 attempts in a row and overall had a poor 10 out of 39 performance yet still confidently won the game.

Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Tomorrow morning, the Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics will face off in a regular season game of the WNBA. The game promises to be a thrilling encounter. Atlanta Dream The Atlanta Dream (5 wins, 4 losses) are showing inconsistent results this season, alternating between wins and losses. In their last match, they secured a victory over the Chicago Sky with a score of 89-80, thanks to an outstanding performance by Tina Charles. Ryan Howard continues to enhance her stats, holding a key role in the team's attack. In the last match against the Sky, she scored 18 points and delivered 6 assists, showcasing her leadership and versatility. Tina Charles also remains a crucial figure for the Dream, scoring 22 points and grabbing 7 rebounds in that same game. However, in previous matches, the Dream lost to the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun by a significant margin, highlighting their instability. The team averages 76.7 points per game with a 40.7% shooting accuracy, indicating the need for improvement in their offensive plays. Defence also remains in question, as they concede an average of 78.6 points per game. Washington Mystics Washington Mystics (0 wins, 12 losses) are still searching for their first win of the season, having suffered twelve consecutive defeats. The team is on the brink of setting a franchise record for the worst season start. Despite showing some competitiveness in recent games, the Mystics are still struggling to close out matches. They lost to the New York Liberty 88-93 and to the Indiana Fever 83-85, showing fight in every game, but it's not yet been enough for a win. The team averages 74.7 points and concedes 82.6. Washington Mystics are still looking for ways to improve their results, and Shakira Austin is becoming more noticeable in this process. In the last game against the Liberty, she scored 15 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, showcasing her strength in the paint. Ariel Atkins, despite the defeat, remained one of the most effective on the court, scoring 20 points and grabbing 5 rebounds. Head-to-head encounters The Atlanta Dream has dominated recent meetings with the Washington Mystics, winning the last four games in a row. The last encounter between the teams was on May 30, where the Dream once again celebrated success with a score of 73-67. On July 1, 2023, Atlanta secured a victory at home with a score of 94-89, followed by another win on July 30 with a score of 80-73. Prediction for the Game In the match against the Mystics, the Dream appears to be the favourites, considering their more successful performances and higher position in the standings with 12 losses for the visitors. However, considering recent trends, the Mystics are showing signs of improvement and fighting till the last minute of each match. Washington has not lost by 9 or more points in their last three games against strong opponents, so I expect the guests to keep the margin close again.

At the TD Garden arena, the Boston Celtics are gearing up for the second game of the NBA finals series against the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow morning. Boston Celtics In the first game of the NBA finals, the Celtics showcased a powerful performance, hitting 16 three-pointers out of 42 attempts, yielding a 38.1% accuracy. They finished the game victorious with a score of 107-89, seizing the lead midway with a 29-point advantage. Boston's effectiveness in the first quarter, scoring 37 points, was key to their success, allowing them to fend off any pressure from the Mavericks. Attention in this series is focused on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Brown, who scored 22 points in the first game, continues his successful streak after being named the Eastern Conference MVP, averaging 24.8 points per game in the playoffs. Tatum, although having a quieter game, still finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists. The return of Latvian and former Dallas player Kristaps Porzingis also had a significant impact; after a 38-day absence, he came off the bench to score 20 points and add 6 rebounds in just 21 minutes. His presence on the court created additional problems for the opponent across the floor. Dallas Mavericks After a tough loss in the first NBA finals game with a score of 89-107, the Dallas Mavericks are under pressure, needing to reshape their game to restore balance in the series. The start of the game was catastrophic for the Mavericks, trailing 20-37 after the first quarter. They showed improvement in the third quarter, reducing the deficit to 9 points, but Boston quickly restored their lead to 18 with a run in 3 minutes, preventing the Mavericks from changing the dynamics of the game. Dallas's problems were exacerbated by the lack of effective ball movement, resulting in just 9 assists throughout the game, which is their season minimum and nearly an anti-record in playoff games. Luka Dončić remains the leader of Dallas, scoring 30 points and making 10 rebounds; however, his efforts were insufficient to single-handedly counter the Celtics. Dončić also faced difficulties in ball distribution, making only 1 assist, highlighting the Mavericks' need for more dynamic and collective play. Kyrie Irving, another key player, also had a tough game, scoring just 12 points and failing to make any of his 5 three-point attempts, further complicating the situation for the team, adding 3 turnovers. Dallas exhibited insufficient defensive strength, allowing the Celtics to drain 16 three-pointers. Match Prediction: Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks Ahead of the second game at TD Garden, the Celtics undoubtedly feel confident in their capabilities, especially given their dominance in the first encounter. However, it is important not to underestimate the Mavericks, who will strive to correct the mistakes of the first game and level the series. But Kidd's team is too inexperienced, with their two centres Lively and Gafford going through their first playoffs, as is Washington. Considering the current form of key players and the demonstrated strategy, the Boston Celtics have every chance of maintaining their advantage. But in the second game, I expect an improved attack from the Mavericks and a total points over 213.5. Prediction on Porzingis' Total After a disappointing stint in Dallas, Kristaps clearly has a special motivation against the Mavericks in the finals. In the first game, he destroyed their defence in 20 minutes, scoring through all the opponent's defenders. I back his individual total over 14.5 points.

Los Angeles Sparks and Dallas Wings will play tomorrow morning as part of the regular WNBA season. Los Angeles Sparks The Los Angeles Sparks, with a record of 2-7, occupy the last place in the Western Conference and are on a three-game losing streak, striving to improve their performance, especially in home games where they have 1 win and 4 losses. The team is only scoring an average of 75.6 points with a 40.8% shooting accuracy and allowing 83.2 points per game. Dearica Hamby is the team's top player, averaging 20.4 points and 3.4 assists per game. In their last game, the Sparks lost to the Minnesota Lynx, scoring just 62 points to 86. The Sparks rank 11th in scoring and 9th in defense in the league, which indicates serious problems in both their offense and defense. The Los Angeles Sparks are facing challenges this season, particularly in offense, where they are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league with 75.6 points per game. The problems in executing attacks are evident, especially in recent games where the team failed to surpass 70 points in two consecutive matches. Despite having talented players like Dearica Hamby, who averages 20 points per game, the team struggles to establish stable interactions on the court. The absence of the leader in attack, Chiney Ogwumike, who moved to Phoenix this offseason and continues to score 20+ points per game, also significantly affects their performance. Dallas Wings The Dallas Wings are looking to break a three-game losing streak and are one spot above the Sparks with a record of 3-5. The team averages 82.4 points per game with a 44% shooting accuracy while allowing 84.5 points. Arike Ogunbowale plays a leading role on the team, averaging 27.1 points and 5.1 assists, and Natasha Howard adds 15 points and 13 rebounds, despite her absence in recent games. Dallas is weak in long-distance shots, showing only 30.8% accuracy, but they compensate for this with active rebounding, ranking second in the league in offensive rebounds. The team's poor three-point shooting (30.8%) this season needs improvement, but the last game showed exceptionally low figures (17%), which is uncharacteristic for the Wings. Head-to-Head In the last game against the Los Angeles Sparks, the Wings secured a victory with a narrow one-point margin84:83, despite a poor performance from Ogunbowale, who showed 0 out of 8 from three-point range. The Wings have now won two consecutive head-to-head matchups after three losses in 2023. Prediction for the Los Angeles Sparks vs Dallas Wings Match Based on the current state of both teams, the Dallas Wings look more favorable in the upcoming encounter against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Wings demonstrate higher scoring efficiency and better rebounding, which should help them prevail over the Sparks, who have significant problems in both offense and defense.
