Top 5 WNBA Betting Observations Heading Into Week 3
by Vegas Writer
Tuesday, May 27, 2025Wanted to wait a couple of weeks for my next WNBA article, so the teams could get some games under their belt.Now that we have that, I'll be giving you a weekly update with how certain teams are doing against the spread and with their totals, and which teams to look for value with, especially as underdogs.TOP 5 WNBA PLAYS, FADES, TOTALS:STORM (3-1 SU and ATS) - One of just two teams with a 3-1 ATS mark, this is a team that has been much better since its season-opening loss in Phoenix. The Storm have also stayed under in three of four this season. You should keep an eye on their totals, as the Under could be in play aplenty.FEVER (2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS) - The darlings of the WNBA could be in trouble without Caitlin Clark. Or, maybe they won't be. I'm not on the Clark bandwagon, in that she's the second coming. Kelsey Mitchell has been there many years, and is fully capable of running this offense. Don't be surprised if you're catching value with this team.LIBERTY (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) - When it comes to the defending league champs, the total is where you should pay attention. The Liberty have gone over in all three of their games, as they once again have a lethal offense to be wary of. New York is one of those teams that feed off its defense, but don't necessarily worry about the opposition because of how potent the offense can be. Look for high-scoring totals from the champs.VALKYRIES (2-1 SU and ATS) - Golden State has shocked some folks with its start, and you can credit coach Natalie Nakase with how she's coached a defensive strategy. It's led to three straight unders in their games, and it's not a big surprise. While her mentor, Becky Hammon, can't seem to get her Aces to play defense, Nakase has her troops abiding by her system and locking things down. Watch for high totals, and play accordingly with pure value.SKY (0-2 SU and ATS) - We're nearly two weeks into the season and Chicago has played just two games, both losses on the court and at the window. Until further notice, the Sky are a certain fade right now. I'm not sure if first-year coach Tyler Marsh has control of this roster, and am just waiting for him to pull the trigger and bench Angel Reese in favor of Rebecca Allen. When that happens, keep an eye on double-digit dog numbers. Until then, fade away.
