Best WNBA Bets Today: Wednesday, August 12
Two-Leg Parlay (-106)
Golden State Valkyries -3.5 (-245) vs. Chicago Sky
Dallas Wings -4.5 (-260) vs. Toronto Tempo
FanDuel Sportsbook, 2:10 p.m. ET
Steve Bulanda: I'm confident in Golden State and Dallas to win, but I'm not comfortable laying eight or more points. Let's tease it down with some alternate lines and parlay the two playoff-bound teams to claim victory by two scores. Chicago has been competitive at home, but not so much on the road. The Sky are 4-12 away from home, while Golden State is the best home team in the league at 13-4. Dallas has lost five of its last six games and will be without All-Star Jessica Shepard (ankle), but this is a good spot to get back on track. Toronto has lost nine games in a row, and the last stop on a five-game road trip isn't a great opportunity to turn things around.
Alanna Smith Under 9.5 Rebounds + Assists (-124) vs. Toronto Tempo
DraftKings Sportsbook, 2:10 p.m. ET
Steve Bulanda: With team-leading rebounder Jessica Shepard (ankle) out, Smith's lines are understandably higher than normal. However, it's not like Smith is coming off the bench and getting significantly more minutes than usual. At RotoWire, we're projecting her typical 27 minutes, while Li Yueru and Awak Kuier get the boost in playing time. Smith has played at least 20 minutes in seven appearances this season and only topped nine rebounds + assists once. If you want to factor in her history as a regular starter the past three seasons, she has been a consistent 5-6 rebound and 2-3 assist player.
Olivia Miles Over 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122) at Portland Fire
Caesars Sportsbook, 4:40 p.m. ET
Jason Shebilske: Miles was also one of my top options in my WNBA DFS picks for Wednesday's slate, and her line feels too low on Caesars and DraftKings against the Fire, with the odds being slightly more favorable on Caesars Sportsbook. Miles has hit the over on this mark in four consecutive appearances, as well as six of her last eight outings. The Fire have a decent defense against opposing guards, and Miles has been held below 30 points + rebounds + assists in two previous appearances against Portland this year, but I'm expecting that her recent momentum will hold steady Wednesday.
