Lady luck: Saturday's best WNBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever (-4.5, 153)
The Fever should have one of the WNBA’s hardest working players back on the floor this weekend.
Veteran guard Katie Douglas missed Tuesday’s 89-80 win over the Washington Mystics with a back contusion suffered in a fall in last weekend’s loss to the Seattle Storm. Douglas played just over eight minutes in that game and left the floor for X-rays, which came back negative.
Douglas is averaging more than 16 points this season, seventh in the league, along with nearly five rebounds and two assists per game.
Indiana stepped up big without Douglas on the floor versus Washington, most notably the bench which chipped in with 52 points, including 21 points from Shavonte Zellous and 18 from Jessica Davenport.
With Douglas probable for Saturday’s matchup with the Sun, and solid all-around efforts from her teammates, the Fever should continue to climb in the Eastern Conference standings.
Pick: Indiana
Phoenix Mercury at Chicago Sky (-3.5, 179)
The Sky are happy to be staying in the Windy City this weekend.
Chicago has stumbled away from home this season, but maintains a 3-0 ATS mark inside Allstate Arena, including a 107-101 victory over the Sun in double overtime in which it covered as a 2.5-point home favorite Thursday.
“We grew up tonight,” head coach Pokey Chatman told reporters. “I talk about this all the time in terms of teaching moments, I was just telling the team we had some really clean schemes defensively when they count.”
The Sky are averaging over 82 points per game in regulation at home – nearly 10 points more than their scoring averaging on the road this season. They are second in the WNBA in field goal percentage at 46.8 percent, but have been firing an even hotter 53 percent from the floor over their three home games.
Phoenix will be playing in back-to-back games after visiting Atlanta Friday night and is just 1-5 ATS in its last six games versus Eastern Conference opponents, heading into Friday.
Pick: Chicago
