WNBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, August 22nd

I basically broke even on my WNBA bets on Thursday, but the dry spell continues after a blazing hot first half of the month. Let’s turn the heat back up tomorrow. Here are your WNBA predictions and preview for Friday, August 22nd.

WNBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, August 22nd

Minnesota Lynx vs Indiana Fever

Start Time: 7:30 PM EST

If two WNBA teams play but neither of their star players suits up, did they actually play? The fans in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis won’t see either Caitlin Clark or Napheesa Collier on the court when the Minnesota Lynx face off with the Indiana Fever tomorrow night.

The Lynx have managed to tread water in Clark’s absence, going 11-11. However, they are now missing three key players for the rest of the season due to injuries. And Minnesota has rolled to a 6-2 record without Collier. Minnesota on the spread it is then.

Best Bet: Minnesota -6 (-115)

Seattle Storm vs Dallas Wings

Start Time: 7:30 PM EST

It has to be rough, scoring 44 points and still having your team lose (I wouldn’t know personally). That was the situation on Wednesday for Dallas Wings’ rookie Paige Bueckers.

The Wings are another team missing a boatload of players, which makes my handicapping their games tough. My original line for this game would have been Seattle -2, so let’s roll the dice on Dallas covering at home.

Best Bet: Dallas +8.5 (-110)

Overall Record: 51-54 (49%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($718.36)
Return on Investment: -7%
