The Sparks face a tough home test against the Sky on Friday, but Nneka Ogwumike has a chance to thrive on the scoreboard again. RotoWire's experts break down their favorite bets for the five-game slate.
Sylvia Fowles kicks off her final WNBA campaign Friday evening and is in position to play a key role for the Lynx in both the opener and this season with Napheesa Collier slated to miss most of the 2022 season.
DeWanna Bonner may be counted on more by the Mercury in upcoming games with Jonquel Jones overseas. She enters the night tallying 18.8 points per game and shapes up as a solid value play on both sites Thursday.
Jonquel Jones has averaged a double-double in two previous games against the Sky and will look to control the boards as Connecticut bids to stay in striking distance of Washington for the top seed in the East.
In a clash of WNBA titans, Jonquel Jones' ability to contribute across the board could pay off against a Vegas team that has been stout defensively this season.
Kia Nurse should contribute from both the charity stripe and from downtown against a Wings defense that has proven deficient despite the relatively slow pace of their contests.
Kayla McBride's proficiency from beyond the arc could come in handy Friday against a stingy Storm defense. She's nailed 46.8 percent of her shots from deep this season and 60 percent through four July games.
Jewell Loyd has shot the ball at least 11 times per game this season. She has also posted her top three scoring efforts in the team's last three games, giving her plenty of upside versus the Mystics.
Tina Charles posted a dominating performance en route to a double-double in the opener and the offense will likely run through her again Saturday versus the Fever.
