Back to the WNBA slate and another weird one. We have the New York Liberty taking on the Indiana Fever and the Portland Fire playing the Minnesota Lynx at 8pm EST. At 8:30pm EST, the Washington Mystics will visit the Golden State Valkyries.
Not sure why the Golden State game isn't at 10pm EST, but it is what it is. I dove into the games to find some gems for us to lock into. Let's get into tonight's Best Bets in the WNBA.
Check out the odds for this matchup and other WNBA games at the best online sportsbooks.
WNBA Best Bet #1: Breanna Stewart to record 8 or more rebounds (-120)
New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart goes to drive to the hoop during a game this season.
We're going to the Liberty vs. Fever game for this play. Give me Breanna Stewart to record 8 or more rebounds tonight. She is averaging a team high 20.4 points and second best 8.4 rebounds per game. Stewie has been playing and will look to carry it to this game.
She is coming off a game hitting her rebound line and has hit in three out of her last five games. Down low, she'll have to compete with Aliyah Boston, but her hands will be completely full trying to deal with both Stewie and Jonquel Jones.
I think there will be plenty of opportunities for her to hit this line. Indiana shoots the ball a lot, which create chances, as well as New York being a better rebounding team. It won't come easy, but Stewie will take us to the cash counter.
WNBA Best Bet #2: Kayla McBride to record 19 or more points (-110)
Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride goes for a layup between two defenders.
McBride has been killing it as of late. She has cleared this line in her last five game, and she hasn't just cleared it – she's crushed in. All five games, she's record 23 or more points, and it includes a 37-point performance.
She is averaging 17.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season. It's been a heck of a run for McBride leading up to now. She only had 14 points vs. the Fire back in June, but this will be a game where the Lynx dominate and she's going to contribute big time.
Minnesota should have their way with Portland. They crushed them last time by 33 points and I don't see why it doesn't happen again, especially with the way McBride and Olivia Miles have been playing. Give me McBride to go six in a row.

WNBA Best Bet #3: Kiki Iriafen to record 10 or more rebounds (-105)
Washington Mystics forward Kiki Iriafen gets back on defense after grabbing a rebound.
Tough game here for Washington. Golden State has been on fire, and it's been very back and forth for the Mystics. We're going with Kiki Iriafen to grab 10 or more boards in tonight's game. This is a name we're all very familiar with and banking on again.
She is averaging 15 points and a team high 9.4 boards per game. Iriafen just had a flop of a game, so we're coming off the miss for the comeback. Otherwise, she hit in her previous two games and has hit in six of her last eight games.
This isn't a bad spot for her. Golden State doesn't shoot the ball well and she had 9 vs. them two weeks ago. I think we see her throw her weight around a bit and grab those boards. We're getting good value and the line is only at ten boards as well.
