Las Vegas is getting way too much credit tonight in the eyes of our WNBA betting picks, and Napheesa Collier is not getting her due either. Expect the Minnesota star to be a major factor in this game being low-scoring.
The Minnesota Lynx are scrapping to be seen as genuine containers for the WNBA title, possibly poised to end up as the No. 2 seed and making a trade this week to only push harder. The Las Vegas Aces are worried about homecourt advantage in the first round as they chase their third straight title.
Oddsmakers are not fools. They work in luxurious buildings in the desert for a reason. But that does not mean they properly appreciate Napheesa Collier’s work on both ends of the court. Almost no one does.will go quietly into the night. There are no notable Minnesota injuries to worry about, and the Tuesday trade for Myisha Hines-Allen did not cost the Lynx any contributors in their rotation. Olivia Époupa averaged 6.6 minutes in 16 games this year, and Sika Koné averaged 3.
Tailing Collier’s points prop is an acknowledgement that she has scored 17 and 30 points, respectively, in her two games this week, taking 29 total shots. She is not shy about getting her offense going, even if her defensive impact is the underrated piece of the Lynx reaching contention this year.Late on Monday, this spread opened with Las Vegas a mere 3.5-point favorite. On Tuesday afternoon, it slowly moved to -5.5, and Wednesday has seen that trend continue, rising to -7.
