WNBA Picks Today: Wings vs. Sun & Mystics vs. Storm Game 2 Playoff Predictions (Sunday, August 21)

It’s been a wild first few days of the 2022 WNBA playoffs, and there should be even more madness in store as these first-round series roll on. The Dallas Wings and the Connecticut Sun are set to match up at noon, followed by a 4 p.m. game between the Washington Mystics and the Seattle Storm. Check out a breakdown of these series below, along with the best bets to make for today’s games.

WNBA Picks Today: Round 1 Playoff Betting Predictions

WNBA Pick: Wings vs. Sun Game 2

The Sun absolutely dominated the Wings in Game 1 of this series. Connecticut ended up winning the game by 25 points, and the Wings didn’t lead the game once after the seven-minute mark of the first quarter. Dallas had no answer for the offensive firepower that the Sun brought, and the absence of Arike Ogunbowale couldn’t have been more obvious, as the Wings scored just 68 points.

The best bet for Game 1 was Connecticut -9.5, which hit with ease. The point spread for Game 2 has shifted a bit, as the Sun are 10.5-point favorites in this one. Game 1 saw Dallas lose the rebounding and turnover battles, and they also shot worse from the field and 3-point land. Their best players were getting bullied by Jonquel Jones and Alyssa Thomas, which is not a good sign for them moving forward in this series.

Based on how the first game unfolded on Thursday, there’s no reason to believe that Dallas will have any answers for the Sun today. The best play for this game is to go right back to what has worked. Connecticut matches up extremely well against this bruised-and-battered Wings team, and it’s surprising to see that they aren’t favored by closer to 15 points.

WNBA Playoff Prediction Today: Sun -10.5 (-110)

WNBA Pick: Mystics vs. Storm Game 2

The first game of this series was just as competitive as everyone expected it to be. The stars came out to play, as Breanna Stewart and Elena Delle Donne scored 23 and 26 points, respectively. The largest lead of the second half was just 6 points and the game went down to the wire, with Seattle ultimately coming out on top. Game 2 is expected to be just as back-and-forth as the series opener was.

Game 1’s best bet was Storm moneyline, which ended up hitting. Seattle is the favorite again in Game 2, and if they can win, they will advance to the next round of these 2022 playoffs. The best option is to stay away from the point spreads considering these teams are pretty evenly matched and two of the league’s best teams. Both teams are capable of winning this game and the WNBA championship.

Washington moneyline (+145) is an extremely solid choice for Game 2. As previously mentioned, the Mystics are capable of winning the whole thing this year. This series was always projected to be a nail-biter, so the chances of Washington getting closed out in two games doesn’t seem likely. As an added bonus, this is an underdog bet, so there is more money to be made if the Mystics can extend this series to a third and final game.
