Each day of the WNBA season, our team of fantasy and betting experts breaks down every game on the slate, making note of everything from injuries and lineup changes to recent trends and more.

All odds are provided by Caesars Sportsbook. Times are ET.

Here's what to look for in today's games:


New York Liberty at Indiana Fever
12 p.m. ET, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis

Line: Liberty -9
Money line: Liberty (-550), Fever (+400)
Total: 167.5 points

BPI prediction:
Liberty: 79.9% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 9.5 points

Injury report
Liberty: Han Xu (out), Stefanie Dolson (out)
Fever: NaLyssa Smith (out), Lexie Hull (out)

Fantasy streamer: Amanda Zahui B. (rostered in 2.4% of ESPN leagues) finds herself on the streaming radar with NaLyssa Smith out. While Zahui B. has struggled this season, the Fever might still prioritize her instead of Victaria Saxton in their rotation. -- Moody

Best bet: Liberty -9.0. New York is 7-1 over the past eight games and rank second in offensive rating and third in defensive rating. The Fever are a scrappy team that has played a lot of close games; losing NaLyssa Smith will be a tough obstacle on Wednesday night. It's hard to not back the Liberty considering the circumstances. -- Moody

Fantasy streamer: Rebecca Allen (available in 66.5% of leagues) has played a larger role for the Sun since moving into the starting lineup for Brionna Jones. Allen has upped her production over the past few games, averaging 11.5 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 3.0 APG, 2.0 SPG, 2.0 3PG and 1.0 BPG in 27.5 MPG. -- Snellings


Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky
12 p.m. ET, Wintrust Arena, Chicago

Line: Sun -4.5
Money line: Sun (-210), Sky (+175)
Total: 160.5 points

BPI prediction:
Sun: 67.1% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 4.9 points

Injury report
Sun: Brionna Jones (out)
Sky: Rebekah Gardner (out), Isabelle Harrison (out)

Fantasy streamer: DiJonai Carrington (rostered in 17.0% of ESPN leagues) played 14 minutes against the Mystics on Monday because of an illness but should return to her usual workload against the Sky on Wednesday. Carrington has scored 28 or more fantasy points in three of her past four games. -- Eric Moody

Best bet: Sun -4.0. The Aces and the Liberty get a lot of attention, but the Sun rank in the top three in both offensive and defensive rating. Connecticut is a talented team with a 15-6 record against the spread over their past 21 road games. Meanwhile, the Sky have struggled mightily with just three wins in their past 11 games while ranking near the bottom of the league in offensive rating. -- Moody


Dallas Wings at Minnesota Lynx
1 p.m. ET, Target Center, Minneapolis

Line: Wings -2
Money line: Wings (-140), Lynx (+118)
Total: 167.5 points

BPI prediction:
Lynx: 54.5% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 1.3 points

Injury report
Wings: Kalani Brown (out), Diamond DeShields (out), Lou Lopez Senechal (out)
Lynx: Natalie Achonwa (out), Jessica Shepard (out), Aerial Powers (out), Tiffany Mitchell (out)

Fantasy streamer: Dorka Juhasz (rostered in 23.3% of ESPN leagues) remains a viable fantasy streamer with Jessica Shepard out. Juhasz has averaged 6.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.7 APG, and 1.2 SPG over the past 10 games. -- Moody


Seattle Storm at Atlanta Dream
7 p.m. ET, State Farm Arena, Atlanta

Line: Dream -8
Money line: Storm (+278), Dream (-355)
Total: 170.5 points

BPI prediction:
Dream: 73.6% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 7.1 points

Injury report
Storm: No injuries reported
Dream: Aari McDonald (out)

Fantasy streamer: Danielle Robinson (available in 95.3% of ESPN leagues) continues to outperform Haley Jones in the Dream's backcourt. Robinson has scored 20 or more fantasy points in three of the past four games. Her success should continue against a Storm team that ranks 10th in defensive rating. -- Moody

Fantasy streamer: Crystal Dangerfield (available in 87.3% of ESPN leagues) has played well in recent weeks, particularly since moving back into the starting lineup. Dangerfield has averaged 9.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 3.3 APG, 1.5 SPG, 0.7 BPG and 0.7 3PG in 30.0 MPG over her past six games. -- Snellings


Las Vegas Aces at Los Angeles Sparks
10 p.m. ET, Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles

Line: Aces -14
Money line: Aces (-1400), Sparks (+800)
Total: 170.5 points

BPI prediction:
Aces: 81% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 10 points

Injury report
Aces: No injuries reported
Sparks: Dearica Hamby (day-to-day), Chiney Ogwumike (out), Lexie Brown (out), Nia Clouden (out), Layshia Clarendon (out)

Fantasy streamer: Karlie Samuelson (available in 84.7% of ESPN leagues) has recently suffered a foot injury but is expected to play against the Aces on Wednesday. Samuelson will likely play 25 or more minutes since Chiney Ogwumike is out with a foot injury. Over the past three games Samuelson has played 25-plus minutes, she has scored 19 or more fantasy points. -- Moody

Fantasy streamer: Zia Cooke (available in 93.9% of leagues) is coming off a season-high four assists in her most recent game, on the heels of scoring in double-digits in each of the three straight games before. The Sparks are dealing with injury absences from several players, including three guards, and Cooke is playing well enough to potentially earn a bigger role in the rotation. -- Snellings
