On July 22, 2026, in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Connecticut Sun's Diamond Miller was assessed a technical foul for contact during a play against the Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark. The match, one of several taking place that day, featured the Sun and Fever, teams positioned at different ends of the standings as the WNBA neared its FIBA World Cup break.
The Fever were returning home, seeking to secure a season sweep against the Sun. Indiana ended their previous game with a 113-90 victory over the Chicago Sky, led by 37 points from Caitlin Clark and 30 from Kelsey Mitchell. Connecticut, on the other hand, had recently suffered a 25-point loss to the Golden State.
Later in the day, the Las Vegas Aces and Toronto Tempo faced off for the second time within a week. Las Vegas had won both previous matchups this season, including a 88-78 triumph on Sunday; however, the victory had come at a cost as NaLyssa Smith suffered a season-ending leg injury.
Among today's WNBA betting picks, TST Best Bets recommended Indiana Fever -16.5 over Connecticut Sun. The rationale behind this pick was the significant point gap between the teams. Indiana averaged nearly 18 more points per game than Connecticut during their last meeting, and despite Connecticut's recent struggles, the Fever had no reason to ease up against a team with a poor road record. The Fever were advised to maintain pressure and win comfortably at home.
The second pick was Toronto Tempo vs. Las Vegas Aces, with the total set at 173.5. Here, the recommendation was to bet over the total. Toronto Tempo was last in defensive rating and opponent points per game, while Las Vegas had already amassed 109 and 88 points against the Tempo this season. The change of venue was expected to make things more challenging for Toronto.
The over had a 14-3 record in Toronto's graded road games this season, and the Aces boasted a top-five offense in both rating and scoring. Las Vegas was expected to do most of the heavy lifting, with Toronto only needing to contribute enough to surpass 173.5.
