WNBA Playoff Odds, Betting Analysis for Semifinals Game 2

The opening games of the WNBA semifinals produced one surprising result on Sunday. The New York Liberty, who were 4-0 against the Connecticut Sun this season, put together one of their worst performances.

The Sun grabbed the first game of the series and will make it essential for New York to respond with a win before the series heads north.

The defending champion Las Vegas Aces didn’t struggle much with the Dallas Wings. The Aces are looking to take a 2-0 lead and head to Texas looking to finish out the series. 

Here’s a look at the games worth betting on this week as you read MyBookie’s betting analysis, WNBA betting lines, and free picks for the Semifinals matchups for the season.

The Liberty were explicitly assembled with the idea that they would try and bring the franchise their first league title. New York finished the regular season with a 32-8 record and won the Commissioner’s Cup. This Liberty team — that looked like a world-beater in August — landed with a giant thud in the opener of their playoff series.

New York was limited to a season-low 63 points on a season-worst 33.8 percent shooting from the field. Despite leading by three points at halftime, the Liberty collapsed in the second half and lost by 15. New York will need to improve its 3-point shooting. The Liberty only made 8 of their 27 3-point attempts.

Connecticut swarmed Stewart with top defender Alyssa Thomas. Doing that again in Game 2 will be a significant challenge. The over/under is set at 161.5 points. The Liberty is -355 on the moneyline, while the Sun is +280.

The Aces’ campaign to win a second straight WNBA title has been carried by A’ja Wilson, who finished second in the MVP voting behind Stewart. In Game 1, Wilson, who was chosen as the league’s defensive player of the year, blocked four shots and had eight rebounds. Wilson also led Las Vegas by scoring 34 points. 

Wilson’s performance was backed up by terrific 3-point shooting from the Aces’ guard. Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young both made five 3-pointers for Las Vegas. The Aces’ offense has been dynamic all season, averaging more than 92.6 points per game.

The Wings struggled on the glass in Game 1. Dallas lost the rebounding battle 36-29. Dallas’ top scorer, Arike Ogunbowale, had a brutal night shooting for the Wings, only making four of 14 attempts. Forward Satou Sabally continued her strong play for Dallas. She made four 3-pointers and led the Wings with 20 points.

Sabally averages 18.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in the regular season. Dallas has been the league’s worst 3-point shooting team during the regular season. The Wings only made 31.2 percent of their shots behind the arc.

The Aces are -600 on the moneyline, while the Wings are +440. The over/under has been set at 175.5 points.
