WNBA All-Star Game Bet Builder Tips: Saturday, July 15th

The 2023 WNBA All-Star Game takes place in Las Vegas on Saturday night with Team Stewart facing Team Wilson for the second time in as many years. After winning by a dominant 22 points last year, Team Wilson are favoured by 5.5 for this game, with the total set at 249.5 (just 246 points were scored in the 2022 contest).

Six players are making their first All-Star appearances on Saturday. Experience-wise it looks to be a pretty even matchup, with both teams boasting several multi-time All-Stars, including captains A’Ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. Elena Delle Donne is the main absentee after suffering an ankle injury which is set to keep her out for several weeks.

2022 All-Star Game MVP Kelsey Plum is set to come off the bench for Team Wilson. Arike Ogunbowale, winner of MVP in 2021, will start in the backcourt for Team Wilson.

WNBA All-Star Game Preview

Sun, Jul 16. 01:30 (UK time)

While this game will not be played with the competitiveness we have seen during this enthralling regular season, fans can still expect to witness some high-quality basketball from the league’s best talents.

Team Wilson were the better team across the board last year, grabbing more rebounds and hitting more threes, but the rosters have been considerably mixed up since then. Perhaps Wilson’s success in drafting a winner in 2022 contributes to her team being comfortably favoured for this weekend’s showpiece.

Stewart went for size in her starting five alongside the league’s top scorer in Jewell Loyd. Loyd went off for seven made threes last year. One of the most entertaining players in the sport, look for Loyd to fire long-range shots from all over the court.

Team Wilson are going to get up plenty of threes themselves, particularly from Jackie Young, who leads the league in three-point percentage on the season. Kelsey Plum will have a sizeable role to play off the bench, too.

The total might seem a little high with three of the last four games going under this number, but we envisage a three-point barrage, which could see both teams climb towards the 130 mark. The 2022 game was only just shy of this number even with Team Stewart languishing on only 112 points. If this is a bit closer, the over is well within reach.

Given the relatively even share of talent across the two rosters, another blowout win seems unlikely. Team Stewart have tonnes of firepower to keep pace with the Aces-dominated Team Wilson.

Only one of the last five All-Star Games have been decided by five or fewer points, yet we still like Team Stewart on the +5.5 spread. Even with Team Wilson winning comprehensively a year ago, this spread seems too big.

  • Over 249.5 points
  • Team Stewart +5.5
