<p>The 2025 WNBA basketball campaign continues to heat up, as we edge closer to the end of the regular season and the beginning of the postseason.</p> <p>Admittedly, there is still a long way to go, with teams required to play 44 games in the regular portion of the season. Nonetheless, future bets can still be placed based on what’s been witnessed.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/wnba-futures">current WNBA odds</a> suggest it’s a two-horse race between the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty, although it’s been like that for much of the campaign to this point. The two will face off this weekend, which could prove interesting…</p> <p>Let’s take a closer look at the present rather than the future, and see if we can identify any potential betting value in the games to be played this coming weekend.</p> <h2>WNBA 2025 Fixtures Aug 16-18 Betting Preview</h2> <p>Once again, bettors will be able to have a vast selection of games to make picks across.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Let’s take a look at the upcoming clashes…</p> <p>Golden State Valkyries @ Chicago Sky - Saturday, 09:30 AEST</p> <p>Los Angeles Sparks @ Dallas Wings - Saturday, 09:30 AEST</p> <p>Washington Mystics @ Indiana Fever - Saturday, 09:30 AEST</p> <p>Las Vegas Aces @ Phoenix Mercury - Saturday, 12:00 AEST</p> <p>Seattle Storm @ Atlanta Dream - Saturday, 12:00 AEST</p> <p>New York Liberty @ Minnesota Lynx - Sunday, 04:00 AEST</p> <p>Indiana Fever @ Connecticut Sun - Monday, 03:00 AEST</p> <p>Los Angeles Sparks @ Washington Mystics - Monday, 05:00 AEST</p> <p>Dallas Wings @ Las Vegas Aces - Monday, 05:50 AEST</p> <p>Phoenix Mercury @ Seattle Storm - Monday, 08:00 AEST</p> <p>Atlanta Dream @ Golden State Valkyries - Monday, 10:30 AEST</p> <h2>WNBA 2025 Aug 16-18 Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Head over to our dedicated <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/wnba">WNBA betting odds</a> section and click on the matches that interest you. Each of the upcoming games listed will have many diverse markets, where you may find potential value.</p> <p>Indiana Fever have been struggling recently, with an 81-80 loss to the Dallas Wings adding further insult after dealing with multiple injuries to key stars, including Caitlin Clark. That defeat may present value to bettors who like this franchise.</p> <p>They will take on the Washington Mystics on Saturday and will be looking to improve their chances of reaching the playoffs. They won the last time the two met, 85-76 (June 4), so backing them could be worth a shot, even if their odds appear long.</p> <p>The main game to bet on this weekend is the one between the two leading WNBA contenders. The New York Liberty will head to the Minnesota Lynx. It will come after the Liberty takes on the Aces first. Still, Minnesota will be expected to be the favourites as they are on a five-game winning streak.</p> <p>However, it could be a game that the Liberty take advantage of, with Napheesa Collier (ankle) set to miss out again. Still, Breanna Stewart (knee) will be unavailable for the Liberty, which adds further intrigue to the game.</p>
