On an otherwise quite Tuesday in the sports world, the WNBA has three matchups on the docket on July 11. In the first game of the day at 4:30 pm PT/7:30 pm ET, the Washington Mystics (0-12, 0-7 away) are seven-point road underdogs at the Atlanta Dream (5-4, 2-3 home).
In the later games, the Minnesota Lynx (8-3, 3-2 away) are 6.5-point road underdogs at the reinging WNBA-champion Las Vegas Aces (5-4, 3-2 home), and the Los Angeles Sparks (4-7, 1-3 away) are 11.5-point underdogs at the Seattle Storm (7-4, 3-1 home). Both the late games tip-off at 7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET.

My favorite bet on Tuesday is the Lynx to win straight-up at the Aces. Las Vegas has had a brutally mediocre start to the season, going just 5-4 so far after losing just six games all of the last year. That includes back-to-back setbacks to Seattle and Los Angeles in the Aces’ last two games.
It’s still too early in the season to tell the true strength of the reigning champions, but it’s clear that the loss of point guard Chelsea Grey (15.3 PPG, 7.5 APG last year), who’s now with the Connecticut Sun, is having an impact.
The Lynx, meanwhile, are 8-3 with a league-best +10.4 margin of victory. They’ve been rock-solid on the road as well. Their two setbacks were both by a single point, one in OT against the league-leading Sun.
The second bet I would look at one Tuesday is Atlanta to cover as seven-point favorites against the still-winless Mystics. Washington is losing by an average of 8.9 points per game and that increases to 11.0 on the road.
Atlanta is now world-beater. The Dream have a -1.9 point differential despite a 5-4 win/loss record. But three of their five wins have come by at least seven points, including an impressive 89-80 win at Chicago last time out.
