WNBA: Friday

[superbook]

Super Best Bet: WA/IND Over 137.5

Best Bet: Washington -3

Washington is 2-1 and scoring an average of 85 ppg. Their only loss, 71-65 to Phoenix, came when WA was without its leading scorer and rebounder Chamique Holdsclaw who missed the game to attend her grandmother's funeral.

The game features a match-up of the league's 3rd and 4th best O's against D's ranked 11th and 13th (out of 16).

Holdsclaw is back for this game but may not start, however I think she'll see plenty of playing time and WA scored 97 on Tuesday night at Utah without her.

Indiana guard Nikkie McCray returns to WA where she played for four years and still holds team records in 11 categories.

Indiana scored 78 and 79 points in their two victories over DET but were held to 45 by HOU, which has the #1 ranked D in the league. Rookie Tamika Catchings scored a total of 50 in the two games vs DET but was held to just 8 vs the Comets.

Catchings will get back on track tonight, McCray will score 20 in her homecoming but with Holdsclaw back in the lineup for WA and their more balanced scoring the Mystics should get an easy win in a high scoring game.

WA 87 IND 75

Holdsclaw will start.

 

[Phil Turcotte]

Wow, nice.

Picked up 3 and 138.5.

Phil -- that's why I try to post early because there's usually a lot of early line movement on WNBA.

I put in my own bets at 11AM and then try to post asap after that.

No sense posting a play at -3 if the only line people can get is -6.

 

[Phil Turcotte]

sb - this is really my first venture into the WNBA for one reason and that is the virtual lack of information I have on WNBA games, so thanks for all your writeups.

Its up to 142 now. SB, you should go for the middle here. Holdsclaw isn't playing.

This play is looking strong tonight, glad I jumped on the 3/138.

Nice job sb

Thanks Phil.

Very small play on Over 75. I think IND comes back a little bit but WA doesn't let off the gas.

Great info here sb, I watched part of the Mystics game and it is very apparent they are going to have freedom to launch shots from everywhere. Think they are averaging @90 per game.

Definitely a convert so far on wnba picks
