Sparks vs. Mercury Best Bets, Sharp Picks & Predictions – July 28, 2022

We have four WNBA games tonight on July 28, 2022. I’ll be taking you through my top basketball betting picks & predictions for the WNBA tonight, focusing mainly on the Sparks vs Mercury game. I have player prop bets in this betting preview!

The Sparks (12-15) face off against the Mercury (12-16) at 10:00pm EST at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix Mercury are coming off a 94-78 win against the Seattle Storm on Friday, July 22. The Los Angeles Sparks, on the other hand, are coming off a brutal loss to the Las Vegas Aces. They lost by 18 points on July 23.

The Phoenix Mercury are heavy favorites in tonight’s matchup on 7/28/22. As seen on the OddsJam WNBA Odds Screen, the best moneyline price on the Mercury is -200 odds on BetMGM and Betfred sportsbook. The best price on the Los Angeles Sparks is +180 moneyline odds on DraftKings.

Sports bettors should always be looking to get the best possible betting line in their location! This is called line shopping and adds up to a lot of money in the long run. OddsJam has real-time WNBA odds and basketball betting lines from 50+ online sportsbooks.

I don’t have a moneyline bet for tonight’s game, but I’d lean to bet on the Los Angeles Sparks if you’re looking for a moneyline play. The LA Sparks are currently +5 underdogs on the point spread, and the total is set at an o/u of 167.5, with bookmakers juicing odds towards the under.

Line movement has been taking the betting odds towards Phoenix. They opened as only -1.5 point spread favorites. The total has also gone up by 6 points since bookmakers first posted odds for this WNBA matchup tonight.

I’d also lean to bet on the LA Sparks point spread. In their last 5 games, the Sparks are 4-1 against the spread when facing teams with a losing record.

All of my expert WNBA betting picks are giving out in the OddsJam Discord Chat Room. Anything I ever bet will be given out in this sharp sports betting server.

The first WNBA bet I have for tonight is a player prop pick. I’m on Skylar Diggins-Smith over 19.5 points.

The Phoenix Mercury superstar put up 35 points in her last game against the Seattle Storm. She’s now averaging 20 points per game on the season. Skylar Diggins-Smith is also averaging 4.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

The Los Angeles Sparks are giving up 85.4 points per game on average, which is second worst in the league. The Indiana Fever give up the most points per game at 88.5.

I think that Skylar Diggins-Smith will be able to thrive tonight against a weak LA defense. I bet this WNBA player prop on PrizePicks in a four pick Power Play. PrizePicks is a DFS platform that only allows parlay bets.

On top of Skylar Diggins-Smith over 19.5 points, I have three other WNBA prop bets for tonight on July 28. I’m on Aerial powers over 4 rebounds, Alyssa Thomas over 5.5 Assists and Allisha Gray over 4.5 rebounds. I think these are the best WNBA player props for tonight.

As seen in the betslip below, I’m betting $20 on PrizePicks to win $200 total (e.g. $180 in profit + my $20 stake back). This is equivalent to placing a four leg parlay bet on a sportsbook at +900 odds.

PrizePicks is one of the only platforms that offers betting markets on WNBA player props. Barstool and Bet365 are two other online bookmakers that offer betting odds on WNBA player props.
