So much of sports betting requires an understanding of the ebb and flow of a season. No team plays as well or as poorly as their last game.
That’s a main reason why the house typically wins. Recreational bettors often react to what they last saw. However, experienced bettors understand the concepts of regression and sample size.
Saturday’s lone WNBA game is an interesting situation.
The Washington Mystics are 2.5-point road favorites against the Dallas Wings, who are coming off a high-profile game Friday night against the Indiana Fever.
Caitlin Clark did not play because of a left groin injury but this game was nonetheless moved to the American Airlines Center because of the expected huge crowd. Regardless of Clark’s absence and result, this game is an undoubtedly an emotional high for Dallas.
That game’s outcome would certainly impact my analysis, but I like Washington in almost all scenarios.
The Mystics have been one of the best stories this season.
Betting on the NBA?
A new coach has optimized the offensive flow and a cast of rookies has given them depth and solid execution, especially with Brittney Sykes missing the last two games with injury
I have a 51-43-1 ATS record in this Post sports section entering Friday’s pick.
My next play is the Mystics -2.5 against a limited Dallas team coming off an emotional high.
