Eric Moody gives us what to look for today:
Dallas Wings at Connecticut Sun
12:00 p.m ET, Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Conn.
CON leads series 1-0
Line: Sun (-11.5)
Money line: Sun (-800), Wings (+550)
Total: 162 points
BPI Win%: Sun (80.1%)
Best bet: Sun (-11.5). The Sun enter Game 2 anxious to advance to the semifinals after beating the Wings last Thursday. Dallas suffered their eighth consecutive playoff loss, tying the longest playoff losing streak in league history. The Sun outplayed the Wings in every facet of the game and Dallas might struggle to win Game 2 without Arike Ogunbowale. Connecticut is 5-0 against the spread over the past five games. — Eric Moody
Washington Mystics at Seattle Storm
4:00 p.m. ET, Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle
SEA leads series 1-0
Line: Storm (-3.5)
Money line: Storm (-170), Mystics (+143)
Total: 160 points
BPI Win%: Storm (67.5%)
Best bet: Storm (-3.5)
The Mystics and Storm went back and forth in Game 1, the fourth WNBA playoff game over the last five seasons which neither team led by more than eight points. Thursday night’s game featured 15 lead changes and bettors should expect more of the same in Game 2. Seattle will need to slow down Elena Delle Donne. She had her 18th career 20-point playoff game came last time out. The Storm also must find a way to dominate on the boards in Game 2. Seattle had an 11-1 record during the regular season when they won the rebounding battle and lost five games at home. — Moody
