ASAwins WNBA free play on LA Sparks +4.5 vs. Seattle Storm, 8pm ET
These two teams recently met in Seattle with the Sparks winning a thrilling OT game 108-106. The interesting part was that the Storm were favored by the same number in their own building and now priced the same in this game.
Granted, the Sparks are coming off a game last night but still that’s an over-adjustment by the oddsmakers, giving us value on L.A.
Los Angeles has won 8 of their last ten games with the 4th best Net rating in the league at +4.8. Seattle continues to underachieve this season and currently stand 16-15 SU on the season.
The Storm have lost 4-straight games as their defense has slipped to 8th in Defensive Net rating over that course of games. Off a very poor showing last night we expect the Sparks to bounce back today and keep this close.

ASAwins WNBA free bet on Dallas Wings +8.5 vs. NY Liberty, 7:30pm ET
We have a slight lean to the Wings on this game but will check the starting lineups before tipoff to make sure Wings PG Paige Bueckers is in the lineup. Bueckers was taken to the locker room in the last game against this same Liberty team on Tuesday night but reports are that she will play tonight. New York has had their ups and downs in recent weeks and are 2-4 SU in their last six games. They are not in a great scheduling situation here as they just beat this Wings team by 11 points (as -11.5-point favorite) and have a massive game looming against the Lynx. It’s logical they would overlook this Dallas team in anticipation of that showdown on Sunday. New York is 2-10-1 ATS their last 13 on the road. Dallas is capable of beating this team on their home court as they did in late July 92-82 as an 8-point dog. Dallas as a home dog of +7.5 or more points has covered 4 of their last five in that role. Tread lightly with a play on the Wings.

ASAwins CFL play on UNDER 49.5 BC Lions at Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 8:30pm ET
We are betting UNDER in this game with our model projecting 44.7 total points as the O/U. BC has a game under their belt after 31-14 win over Edmonton last week. The Lions exploded for 28-points in the second half after putting up just 3-points at the break.
This week it’s going to be much tougher for the Lions and QB Rourke to move the ball and put up points against a Blue Bombers defense that allowed 20.3ppg in 2024, the lowest number in the CFL. Winnipeg gave up the fewest yards per game at 329.7 a year ago and are projected to be just as good on that side of the football in 2025.
The Blue Bombers will be without their starting QB Zac Collaros in the opener who is suspended for this game. Collaros led the CFL with 420 completions, 5,451 passing yards and 32 TD’s in 2024. That means the BB’s will lean on RB Oliveira, the league MOP in 2024, to carry the load offensively.
BC is solid defensively as they showed last week allowing just 14-points to Edmonton, who averaged 28ppg in 2024. The Lions allowed the 3rd fewest YPG last season and PPG at 24.4ppg.
In the three meetings last season these two teams produced 50-points, then 25 and 31. We like the trend of the two most recent meetings to continue and will be on the UNDER here!

ASA WNBA play on Washington Mystics -7 vs. Connecticut Sun, 3pm ET
The Mystic have already beaten the Sun by 5-points in Connecticut, and we predict a much bigger margin this time around in Washington. The Mystic are getting healthy with the returns of Austin and Edwards, and with a couple days off after a loss to the Liberty, have had time to jell with the new additions. Shooting is going to be the biggest separator in this game as the Sun are 12th in team FG% at 41% overall and 12th in 3PT% at 28.8%. Making shots Sunday will be especially tough against this Mystics D that is 2nd in the WNBA in both FG% and 3PT% defense. Washington is average in terms of shooting themselves, but they face a Sun team that is last in FG% defense and 12th in 3PT% defense. The Mystic will enjoy a massive advantage on the board also with the 3rd best rebound percentage in the W compared to the Sun who rank 11th. Just 1 win separates these two teams, but the Sun are statistically far worse with a Net Rating of -19.6 compared to Washington at -5.2. We are very comfortable laying the 7-points in this one.

ASA’s 2025 NBA Finals Betting Preview: Why the Oklahoma City Thunder Will Win in 5 Games (+230) Over the Indiana Pacers
As the 2025 NBA Finals tip off on June 5, the Oklahoma City Thunder face the Indiana Pacers in a matchup that pits the league’s most dominant team against a scrappy, high-octane underdog. The Thunder, who posted a historic 68-14 regular season, are heavy favorites to claim their first NBA championship since the franchise’s Seattle SuperSonics days in 1979. One intriguing betting opportunity stands out: the Thunder to win the series in five games at +230 odds. This article dives into the statistical case for OKC’s dominance, highlighting their regular-season performance, key metrics, and why they’re poised to dispatch the Pacers efficiently.
Thunder’s Regular-Season Dominance: A Statistical Powerhouse
The Oklahoma City Thunder were a juggernaut in the 2024-25 regular season, finishing with 68 wins, the seventh team in NBA history to reach that mark. Their dominance was particularly evident in their ability to win games decisively, with 54 of their victories coming by double digits—a testament to their ability to overwhelm opponents. Their average margin of victory (MOV) of +12.2 points per game set a historical standard, reflecting a team that not only wins but does so convincingly. This is a stark contrast to the Pacers, who managed a respectable 50-32 record but posted a modest +2.2 PPG MOV, suggesting closer games and less consistent dominance.
On the road, the Thunder were nearly unstoppable, going 36-11 straight-up (SU) with an average MOV of +7.9 PPG. This road prowess is critical in a 2-2-1-1-1 Finals format, where OKC will need to steal at least one game in Indianapolis. Their ability to maintain a high MOV away from home signals a team that doesn’t falter under pressure, a trait that bodes well for a short series.
Defensive and Offensive Efficiency: OKC’s Elite Two-Way Play
The Thunder’s success is anchored by their elite two-way play, ranking 1st in defensive efficiency (1.075 points allowed per possessions) and 3rd in offensive efficiency (1.204PPP) during the regular season. Their playoff defensive efficiency remained stellar at 1.062, showcasing their ability to clamp down on opponents even in playoff games. OKC’s defense is a turnover-forcing machine, averaging 18.0 turnovers forced per game in the playoffs, converting those into 23.8 points per game. This disruptive style, led by All-Defensive talents like Jalen Williams, Luguentz Dort, and Alex Caruso, plus rim protection from Chet Holmgren (2.0 blocks per game), makes OKC a nightmare for opposing offenses.
In contrast, the Pacers ranked 9th in offensive efficiency and a middling 13th in defensive efficiency during the regular season. While Indiana’s playoff offense has been electric—posting a 118.1 offensive efficiency rating, second only to the Cleveland Cavaliers—their defensive efficiency rating of 113.9 exposes vulnerabilities against a team like OKC, which thrives in chaos and transition. The Pacers’ fast-paced style (98.4 pace) plays into the Thunder’s hands, as OKC’s 100.6 pace and league-leading transition defense (allowing just 9.1 transition points per game) neutralize Indiana’s preferred track-meet tempo.
The Thunder swept the Pacers in their two regular-season meetings. On December 26 in Indianapolis, OKC overcame a 15-point deficit to win 120-114, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropping 45 points on 15-of-22 shooting. The March 29 rematch in Oklahoma City was a rout, with the Thunder cruising to a 132-111 victory, fueled by 17 three-pointers (47.2% from deep) and 58 points in the paint. These games highlighted OKC’s ability to exploit Indiana’s defensive weaknesses, particularly in transition and perimeter defense, where the Pacers allowed opponents to shoot 34% from three in the regular season compared to OKC’s league-leading 33% in the playoffs.
Key Matchups and X-Factors
The Finals hinge on the battle between Indiana’s high-powered offense, led by Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, and OKC’s suffocating defense. Haliburton struggled mightily against the Thunder in the regular season, scoring just 4 points in the first meeting and 18 in the second, with usage rates well below his 21.6% season average. OKC’s strategy of deploying Dort and Cason Wallace to shadow Haliburton disrupted his rhythm, forcing the ball out of his hands. With Indiana’s offense relying on Haliburton’s playmaking (2.2 assist-to-turnover ratio in the playoffs), OKC’s ability to limit him could cripple the Pacers’ attack.
On the other end, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the 2024-25 MVP, is a matchup nightmare. Averaging 32.7 PPG on 52/38/90 shooting splits in the regular season and 29.8 PPG in the playoffs, SGA’s ability to draw fouls (7.9 points per game at the free-throw line) exploits Indiana’s weakness in opponent free-throw rate (15th among playoff teams). Andrew Nembhard, tasked with guarding SGA, allowed 27 points on 11-of-18 shooting in their regular-season matchups, suggesting the Pacers lack an answer for OKC’s superstar.
The rebounding battle also favors OKC. Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein are double-digit rebound threats, while Indiana’s Myles Turner averages a modest 5.8 rebounds per game in the playoffs. The Thunder’s ability to control the glass and limit second-chance opportunities could further tilt the possession battle, where OKC led the league with a +435 turnover differential in the regular season.
Why Thunder in 5 (+230) Makes Sense
The +230 odds for the Thunder to win in five games reflect a series where OKC’s dominance is expected but not guaranteed to be a sweep. The Pacers’ potent offense and home-court resilience (they went 4-2 at home in the Eastern Conference playoffs) suggest they could steal one game, likely in Game 3 or 4 in Indianapolis
Betting Recommendation
The Thunder’s historic regular-season performance, elite two-way efficiency, and head-to-head success against the Pacers make them the clear favorites. Their ability to win big (54 double-digit victories, +12.2 MOV) and perform on the road (+7.9 MOV) supports a quick series. At +230, betting on OKC to win in five games offers value, balancing their dominance with the likelihood of Indiana stealing one game at home.
