    Strange line in the WNBA Sky +15
    Has there ever been a basketball game where the best player in the league(Fowles) or even in the game being played is a 15 point dog. Minnesota has been steamrolling teams and Chicago's leading scorer in a 9 game sample but not even close to their best player(Prince) is out. Chicago is 7-2 and is still the 5th or 6th best team in the league even with the injury.

    74-68 Lynx

          Fowles is not the best player in the league

          She is not even the best at her position

            Saying Fowles is not the best player in the WNBA is like saying Shaq was not the best player in the NBA in his prime, both give you huge scoring at 60% FG and rebounding and defense.

                        I said Prince was out in the original post, the way they are playing is a joke i dont know what to say can't even dribble, pass and airballs. Prince was not even good last year they should still be a good team, well even though down 15 already it is not that bad a mismatch still a decent chance i think.

                                    I don't know if they will cover but Chicago should have a lot of value in the near future, have not faded Minny all season this was all about Chicago getting no respect.

                                      Sky have opened the half on an 8-0 run. Only down 9 now.

                                        I'll take Charles or Parker over her.

                                          you're not the only one and they are more versatile and skilled but Fowles is so dominant down low. She will probably lead the league in efficiency for the 3rd straight year, and also has a high non statistical impact.

                                              Chicago Sky is hot garbage. Looks like the Lynx will proceed to get the cover here.

                                                  Or score 2 points the rest of the game and not even cover the opener

                                                        LOL yeah Sky backers got the cover. Luckily I had $0 riding on this game. The only thing I had on this game was my free Streak Survivor (Covers) pick & I lost. Lynx seem pretty overvalued at this point in time, they lost the previous game outright to Seattle and yeah today they didn't cover. I don't like the WNBA in general. A lot of the predictability and biased reffing and momentum swings that you see in the NBA just aren't in the WNBA games. And it is PAINFUL to watch most of the time.

                                                        If you guys want an easy-ass pick, take USA basketball to cover vs. Angola later this summer if they end up playing each other.

                                                          I disagree. WNBA is much easier to cap than the NBA.

                                                              WNBA seems to get worse yearly.

                                                              I have not bet a WNBA game, since I had +7.5 w/ a 5 pt halftime lead and the team proceeded to score 5 pts the rest of the game. Never will bet this garbage again.

                                                                You sure? At least don't you think in-game & halftime betting is easier with NBA??? For example, I've noticed in NBA, a decent team that's down at halftime (especially if they're at home) will have a very good shot at covering the 2nd half spread (and 2nd half ML usually hits here without fail), but in WNBA, sometimes these beavers are DONE once they are down. They are so demoralized, they won't put up points for like 5-10 minutes straight lol.
