WNBA Top Picks for August 17: Howard Has Been Lights Out From Three!

Rhyne Howard Atlanta Dream

The WNBA slate is loaded throughout the day! There are five games on the slate, with four games having easy access to watch.

I’ve taken a look at each game and added the best bets from three of the five games on the slate. Let’s get right to it!

Los Angeles Sparks vs. Washington Mystics

Sunday, August 17, 2025 – 03:00 PM EDT at CareFirst Arena

Sug Sutton of the Mystics has added at least four assists in four of her last five games and two straight games. Now, she’ll battle a Sparks team that ranks 12th in assists allowed to shooting guards.

This is a good spot for Sutton to continue adding a high rate of assists.

Keep The Assists Coming!

Sug Sutton has issued 11 assists in her last two games combined. She even saw an uptick in minutes against Indiana last time out and played 33.1 minutes for the Mystics.

Her efficiency has increased, and the turnovers are only at two per game over the last five games.

Meanwhile, the Sparks rank 12th in assists allowed to shooting guards this season. They’re also 12th overall in assists allowed to teams this year. Sutton has shown some promise lately with her high assists.

There’s no reason why she can’t continue this type of success against a Sparks team that is known for struggling to stop guards from piling up assists.

Take Sutton to add at least four assists in today’s game.

Dallas Wings vs. Las Vegas Aces

Sunday, August 17, 2025 – 03:30 PM EDT at Michelob ULTRA Arena

Jewell Loyd of the Las Vegas Aces has earned at least two threes in 56% of games this season. She’s also hit this line in two consecutive games and has nailed this line in seven of her last ten games.

Loyd also typically has success against Dallas from downtown. We’ll want to exploit that at Caesars Sportsbook (check our Caesars Sportsbook Review).

Loyd Always Dominates Dallas!

Jewell Loyd has earned at least two threes in 11-of-15 head-to-head matchups against the Dallas Wings. Of course, she’s currently on the Aces and switched teams this season.

Still, she’s currently red-hot from three-point range for the Aces.

As a matter of fact, she’s nailed at least two threes in four of her last five games and even added five threes against the New York Liberty last week.

Loyd has hit over 40% from downtown during that stretch and will take on a Dallas team that ranks 11th overall in three-pointers allowed this season. Ultimately, Loyd has taken nearly seven threes per game over the last five games.

It’s likely she’ll make two of them!

Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries

Sunday, August 17, 2025 – 08:30 PM EDT at Chase Center

Rhyne Howard has earned at least three three-pointers in 59% of games this season. She’s also hit this line the one time she faced Golden State earlier this season.

Let’s back Howard with our top-rated sportsbooks to nail at least three three-pointers tonight for the Atlanta Dream.

It’s Another Good Matchup For Rhyne Howard!

Rhyne Howard of the Atlanta Dream has recorded at least three three-pointers in three of her last five games. She’s also hit this line in the one game she played against Golden State earlier this season.

Howard only added one three against Seattle last time out. But she’s hit at least four threes in two of her last four games.

In addition, she’ll battle a Golden State team that ranks 12th in the WNBA in three-pointers allowed to shooting guards. Howard should get some quality looks. So despite shooting 25.5% from downtown over the last ten games, I’ve got faith she’ll knock down at least three three-pointers.
