We’re entering the fourth season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.
Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won back-to-back titles in the 2015-2016 and 2016-17 seasons, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.
Los Angeles Sparks at Phoenix Mercury, Total Over 162.5: $440 to win $400: There will be a lot of star power on the court tonight.
The game features four of the WNBA’s top 10 scorers in Phoenix’s Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi, and Los Angeles’ Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker. Griner and Ogwumike are also shooting 57-percent from the field, meaning they’ll put the game on the fast track to covering the points total over.
The teams have placed twice already this season, with one game going over the total and the other staying under — Phoenix lost 90-59 that day, essentially going through the motions in the second half after Taurasi broke the league’s scoring record.
Current Standings: Granger (5-6, $11,095), Keefer (5-3-1, $10,765), Grimala (2-1, $10,595), Brewer (5-5, $9,140)
