Tonight is finally a huge late in the WNBA. We have six games slated for tonight, with two earlier games and four of the games tipping off at 10pm EST. Let's check out who's playing who for this packed Wednesday night.
The first game to start us off is the Washington Mystics and the Connecticut Sun. An hour later, the New York Liberty will take on the Chicago Sky. Then are the four late games and we have the Minnesota Lynx playing the Los Angeles Sparks and the Dallas Wings will face the Golden State Valkyries.
Las Vegas is going to Phoenix to play the Mercury, and the Seattle Storm will have a short travel to Portland to face the Fire. One heck of a packed slate here and it's going to be electric. I dove in, so let's get into some of the Best Bets in the WNBA tonight.
Check out the odds for this matchup and other WNBA games at the best online sportsbooks.
WNBA Best Bet #1: Marine Johannes 3 or more three pointers (+150)
New York Liberty guard Marine Johannes waits for the ball at the free throw line.
Johannes has been having a good season so far, starting in all fourteen games she's played in. She is averaging 11.6 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 26 minutes per game. Marine is a great shooter and is having a good season, shooting 47% from the field and 43.3% from three.
She has been cold from behind the arch and that's her specialty. I'm going with her bounce back tonight and getting 3 or more three pointers for plus money. Johannes has only had two made threes in each of her last two games, but the volume is always there. The last two games were her fewest attempts all season.
The volume will be there, and I think she's back on tonight. The fact that we're getting plus money on a player that has put up 9 attempts in two games each this season is crazy. We're going to take advantage of that price and get the bounce back.
WNBA Best Bet #2: Natasha Howard 17 or more points (-130)
Minnesota Lynx forward Natasha Howard lines up to take a free throw.
Howard has been a great addition to Minnesota and they're the number one team in the league. She is averaging 17.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. I like her points tonight against an LA team that is completely out matched.
I see Howard eating today vs. Hamby. She is much stronger than Hamby and can work her way to the net. Natasha has hit this line in her last four games straight where she had 20+ points in three out of four of those games.
She will definitely be put to work, but I think her experience and muscle win. Dearica Hamby will be on her as well as Cameron Brink who I don't think cause as much of a threat. Howard will look to continue her run and make it five games in a row hitting that point line.

WNBA Best Bet #3: Jessica Shepard 29 or more PRA (-115)
Dallas Wings forward Jessica Shepard goes up for the lay up in double coverage.
This chick has been on an absolute tear. She comes into this game off a 15-point, 15-rebound and 9 assists performance against the second-best team in the league. Shepard is averaging 13.7 points, 11.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.
She is all over the place and that is why I like her PRA again. Shepard has hit this line in her last three games straight and in her last four out of five games. Her mere triple double last game would've been her second on the year and they both would've been against the Aces.
I don't see anyone slowing her down tonight. I like the PRA because she could put up 15 points easy and we know she's good for 10 boards. Golden State is going to have their hands full with her and I see her eating all night long.
