Lady Luck 9/6
Lady Luck: Sunday's best WNBA bets
Chicago Sky at Detroit Shock (-5.5, 151.5)
The Shock have had an influx of power.
Detroit finally has its lineup at 100 percent as Cheryl Ford is rounding into elite form for the defending champs. Ford (8.3 ppg, 7.4 rpg) struggled at the start of the season as she returned from a knee injury, but her play has allowed the Shock to make big moves in the Eastern Conference standings.
Detroit has won six of its past seven overall and is 5-1-1 ATS in those contests.
Meantime, Chicago enters the game having lost four of its past six and has dropped its two most recent meetings with Detroit by an average of 7.5 points.
Pick: Shock -5.5
Washington Mystics at Indiana Fever (-6, 150)
When these teams meet, two things are certain: The Fever wins and there will be plenty of points.
Indiana is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in its past four meetings with Washington, with each win coming by nearly nine points. And the Fever don’t do it with defense. These matchups have been wide-open shootouts with the past four meetings easily surpassing the total.
Neither team is playing well right now, with Indiana losers in five of six and Washington dropping five of eight. But look for history to repeat itself. The Fever will heat up with a win over Washington and improve on their stellar 13-3 SU home record.
Pick: Fever -6
