The WNBA Runs Through Chicago...Literally

Eyes On A Repeat
First off, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Highland Park 🙏
We’re just days away from the 2022 WNBA All-Star Break (check out the rosters for Team Stewart and Team Wilson here), where the city of Chicago will be a fitting host for this year’s festivities 🏆
Not only are the Sky the reigning champions, but they’re also the league’s hottest team, having won five in a row and 11 of their last 13 🔥
Additionally, they’ll have four representatives in this year’s All-Star Game (including starter Candace Parker), tied with Las Vegas for the most among all teams
The Aces, who are a half-game behind the Sky atop the standings, remain the title favorite (+150), but Chicago’s odds have shortened to +300 following their recent surge 📈
The Sky will have the chance to add two more victories to their resume before the break with a back-to-back over the next two days, kicking off this afternoon in Minnesota against the Lynx. Peep how the lines are shaping up for the matinee matchup 👇
Sky vs. Lynx Betting Preview (subject to change)
Spread: Sky -1.5 (-118)
Moneyline: Sky -134 (bet $134, win $100), Lynx +110 (bet $100, win $110)
O/U: 171.5
The Sky are favored in this one for good reason, but for what it's worth, four of the Lynx’s seven wins have come in the last six games, and they’ve hung tough with Chicago in a pair of close defeats this season 🧐
Trivia Question: Can you name the four players making their first All-Star appearance this year? (answer below)

Action After Dark
The evening slate of games isn’t lacking on intrigue either, with a pair of star-studded battles going down in Atlanta and Las Vegas. Check it out ⬇️
Mystics vs. Dream Betting Preview (subject to change)
Spread: Mystics -5.5 (-104)
Moneyline: Mystics -220, Dream +176
O/U: 156.5
Now that we're past the season’s midway point, jockeying for playoff positioning becomes all the more important, and this meeting could have major ramifications
A win today for the Dream would give them sole possession of the sixth seed, and would move them just a game behind the Mystics for fifth
The month of June has not been kind to Atlanta, but they snapped a 1-7 skid by winning each of their last two
Meanwhile, the Mystics have been a bit too superstar reliant this season, but they’ve taken care of business in all three of their matchups against the Dream 😤
Liberty vs. Aces Betting Preview (subject to change)
Spread: Aces -10.5 (-105)
Moneyline: Aces -620, Liberty +430
O/U: 169.5
A popular pick to win their first championship in franchise history, Las Vegas is headed towards the break in the midst of a small rough patch, with four losses in their last six games 😢
But given how dominant they were through the season’s first 15 games, I wouldn’t go pressing the panic button just yet
Tonight’s opponent should provide a great bounce back opportunity; they’ve yet to face each other this season, but New York hasn’t beaten Vegas since their first matchup of 2019 🤯
Eastern Conference Player of the Month Sabrina Ionescu won’t go down without a fight, but with the Aces set to face the Liberty three straight times, expect them to look to make a statement in the opener 💪
