The WNBA decided to stretch its season to 40 games this year. What that meant is that the league is extending the league’s playoff race. The race at the bottom of the top eight is much more intriguing than the one at the top. The Las Vegas Aces, New York Liberty, and Connecticut Sun are all in the top three.
Spots four through eight are very much still up for grabs. Here’s a look at the games worth betting on this week as you read MyBookie’s betting analysis, WNBA betting lines, and free picks for the Week 17’s top matchups for the season.

WNBA Week 17 | August 22th – August 27th, 2023
Las Vegas Aces at Atlanta Dream
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023 at 7:00 pm EDT
Gateway Center Arena @ College Park, Atlanta, GA
The Dream has been wilting since mid-July. Atlanta has lost eight of its past 12 games and is attempting to stay in the top five. Atlanta has lost all three games against the league-leading Aces. The Dream, who are hosting Las Vegas Tuesday night, have been good at home, compiling a 9-6 record at home.
Atlanta is 15-17 against the spread, while the Dream’s offense has struggled as of late. Atlanta has seen its last seven games go under the total. The Aces need to keep winning as they took a bizarre loss to the Los Angeles Sparks as 16.5-point favorites last Saturday.
Las Vegas is the league’s top-scoring offense, putting up 93.1 points per game. The Aces are also the league’s top 3-point shooting team, making 38.1 percent of their attempts.

New York Liberty at Connecticut Sun
Thursday, August 24th, 2023 at 7:00 pm EDT
Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
The Sun has had its share of head-scratching moments since the All-Star break. The Sun are three games behind the Liberty in the Eastern Conference and has lost ground over the last ten games by going 6-4. Connecticut is 0-2 against New York this season, but the two teams haven’t played in two months.
The Sun stopped a three-game losing skid with an ugly 79-73 win over Chicago Sunday. Connecticut leans heavily on its defense, which ranks first in the league by only allowing 79.1 points per game. The Liberty have won eight of their past ten games and looked like the super team they assembled in the offseason.
New York has scored 85 or more points in four of the past five games. The Liberty has benefited from the hot shooting of Sabrina Ionescu of late. She has made five or more 3-pointers in four of the past seven games.

Los Angeles Sparks at Atlanta Dream
Friday, August 25th, 2023 at 7:30 pm EDT
Gateway Center Arena @ College Park, Atlanta, GA
The Sparks have awoken over the past month. Los Angeles has rallied behind its defensive nature and has put together four consecutive wins to climb into the final playoff spot. Atlanta leads the season series between the two teams 2-1, but both of the Dream’s double-digit wins came much earlier in the season.
The Sparks have covered eight straight games against the spread. It has been an incredible run because Los Angeles was the underdog in seven of the eight games.
The Sparks won all four games of its losing streak as underdogs. This will be a fascinating matchup of teams that need wins for seeding in the playoffs.
