WNBA PICKS TODAY: Monday, September 1
Labor Day Monday features three matchups with plenty of playoff and seeding implications. Today’s slate features two heavy favorites (Atlanta, Minnesota) and one true playoff-level battle (Seattle–Los Angeles).
Atlanta travels to Connecticut in the first of a three-game set between the teams to close out the season, Minnesota hosts Dallas in a lopsided affair, and Seattle and Los Angeles square off late.
Atlanta Dream at Connecticut Sun
Spread: Dream -10.5 | Total: 159.5
Pick: Alisha Gray Higher Than 17.5 points
The Dream continue to rely on their defense, allowing the second fewest points per game in the league. Offensively, Allisha Gray has carried the load for the Dream, averaging 18.7 points per game this season.
She has scored 19 or more points in 3 of her last 5 games. Connecticut has tightened up down the stretch, winning 3 of their last 5, but their weakness remains clear — opponents shoot a league-high 46.6% FG against them. She has hit this over in 3 of her last 4, and in the Dream blowout win (79-55) over the Sun on May 25th, she scored 18.
Dallas Wings at Minnesota Lynx
Spread: MIN -17.5 | Total: 169
Pick: Napheesa Collier Lower Than 23.5 points
Dallas enters with a 9–31 record and has already been eliminated from postseason contention. Rookie Paige Bueckers (18.9 PPG) has been a bright spot, while the team’s statistical strengths remain their league-best offensive rebounding rate (29.0% OREB%) and fast tempo.
Minnesota has clinched the No. 1 seed and is led by Napheesa Collier (23.4 PPG, 7.7 RPG). The Lynx average 86.6 PPG and dominate ShotQuality metrics, ranking 1st in Efficient 3PT Shooting and force a lot of turnovers. 24 points is a lot, as she has failed to reach this number in 3 of her last 4 contests.
She has dominated Dallas in this year (28 or more points in all 3 games), but expect less usage tonight.
Los Angeles Sparks at Seattle Storm
Spread: SEA -8.5 | Total: 173
Pick: Plum Over 18.5 points
Seattle has won 5 of 6 to strengthen their playoff grip, holding opponents to just 79.9 PPG. Nneka Ogwumike (18.2 PPG, 7 RPG) anchors the attack, with Brittney Sykes and Skylar Diggins providing support.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, is in must-win mode. Kelsey Plum (20.1 PPG) has been their offensive engine, and despite Seattle’s defense, her volume keeps her live for scoring props. She has scored 18 or more points in 4 of her last 5. One trend to note, she’s had over 18.5 in 5 of her last 6 road games.
