Odds and Bets: WNBA Futures, Leafs on the Brink

WNBA Futures: A Two-Team League

The 2023 WNBA season starts on May 19th, and two teams with stacked rosters are making things pretty clear on the odds board that they’re the ones to beat. The champion Las Vegas Aces became an even bigger threat with the addition of two-time champ Candace Parker in the offseason.

The New York Liberty added Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart to the roster, who alongside Sabrina Ionescu give New York a Big 3 that can give the Aces a run for their money.

No other team in the league is priced under +1200.

Best WNBA Bet: New York Liberty +115

Maple Leafs vs. Panthers Game 4: It’s Sweep O’Clock

The Leafs have dug themselves a nearly impossible-to-escape 3-0 hole in their second round of these NHL playoffs.  The Florida Panthers appear to have their number, forcing the Leafs to defy some staggering odds in order to advance to the next round.

Only four teams in playoff history have ever come back from a three game deficit. Can Toronto at least force a Game 5 with a win on Wednesday? They’re slightly favored, but momentum is on Florida’s side.

As of this writing, which goalie will shoulder the Game 4 burden is still in question, with rookie John Woll perhaps getting his first postseason start. Veteran Matt Murray hasn’t played since getting concussed in early April, but for fans praying for a miracle Wednesday night, a two-time Cup winner might be their last hope.

Best NHL Bet: Florida Panthers Win Game 4

Suns vs. Nuggets Game 5: The Dynamic Duo

Devin Booker and Kevin Durant have combined for 158 points in their last two games, and the series between the Suns and the Nuggets is now tied at two apiece.

The Nuggets will have to redouble their efforts to shut down Booker and Durant if they want to take the series lead on Tuesday night.
