A Class By Herself
I've covered the WNBA since 2008 and watched many of the greatest players in league history, from Diana Taurasi and Maya Moore to Candace Parker and Tamika Catchings. A'ja Wilson stands above them all. Her dominance on the court is unmatched, but it's her leadership, accountability, and the universal respect she commands from teammates and opponents alike that firmly establish her as the greatest player the WNBA has ever seen.
Caitlin Clark “Fans” Are The Issue
by Tommy the Owl - Senior Editor
Caitlin Clark's biggest challenge may not be opposing defenses or critical media coverage. It may be a fan culture that refuses to acknowledge any flaws, mistakes, or opportunities for growth. At a time when Clark needs accountability, coaching, and support, too many of her loudest supporters are focused on blaming everyone else, making her path to becoming a true championship leader even more difficult.
Is Tillman Fertitta Good for Las Vegas?
by Tommy the Owl - Senior Editor
Tillman Fertitta's $17 billion acquisition of Caesars Entertainment makes him one of the most powerful figures in Las Vegas overnight. While Fertitta has a track record of thinking big, the Strip desperately needs more than another billionaire owner—it needs bold ideas, new attractions, and a fresh vision. Whether Fertitta is the person to deliver that remains an open question.
Summer Deal At Circa Las Vegas
by Steven Winslow - Junior Editor:
Las Vegas may not be the bargain destination it once was, but deals still exist. A summer package offering a two-night stay, $200 in food and beverage credits, a Stadium Swim daybed, and all taxes and resort fees included provides a great excuse to visit Vegas—and perhaps take a shot at the Circa Millions and Circa Survivor contests while you're here.
MAGA Loves Pratt. Los Angeles Appears Unmoved
by Steven Winslow - Junior Editior
Spencer Pratt has become a national political story, but the enthusiasm surrounding his campaign has yet to fully translate into support where it matters most. With the June 2 election approaching, prediction markets continue to favor Karen Bass, suggesting Los Angeles voters remain far less captivated by Pratt than many of his supporters across the country.
Knicks Fever Meets Wemby Mania
New York is buzzing after the Knicks captured the Eastern Conference title, while Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs bring the NBA's brightest young superstar into the spotlight. With massive ratings expected, intriguing betting markets, and two of basketball's biggest stars leading the way, this Finals matchup feels like a defining moment for the league.
Jaxson Dart Made a Leadership Mistake
By Kent Bucks:
Jaxson Dart had every right to introduce Donald Trump, but leadership is about more than exercising rights—it’s about understanding how your actions impact teammates and fans. In today’s deeply divided political environment, the Giants quarterback created unnecessary friction inside a locker room and fan base that are already split on many issues, raising legitimate questions about judgment and leadership.
The Dallas Wings Can Compete For A championship This Year
by Tommy the Owl - Senior Editor
The Dallas Wings continue to improve at a rapid pace, and with their explosive backcourt, versatile rotation, and growing chemistry, they could become as dangerous as anyone in the league once the postseason arrives.
Live Bet Territory: Spurs-OKC Screams Wait and Strike
OKC catching points is rare, but San Antonio’s injury uncertainty makes this less of a pregame bet and more of a wait-and-strike live opportunity.
Caitlin Ball Won’t Win Titles
Indiana’s win over Portland showed what the Fever can be when they defend, move the ball, and play as a team — but the Caitlin Clark noise machine still threatens to turn a promising roster into another internet-driven mess.
Wings Over Chicago #WNBA
Dallas looks ready to dominate the Sky, with the Wings drawing market support from -1.5 to -3 and even -3.5 in spots. Chicago has been competitive, but with Rickea Jackson out and Dallas starting to settle into Jose Fernandez’s system, the separation between these two teams should show up quickly.
Arms Race
The National League Cy Young race is already loaded, with Paul Skenes, Cristopher Sánchez, Jacob Misiorowski, Chris Sale, Shohei Ohtani, Chase Burns, and even longshot Mason Miller all building serious early cases. In a normal year, any one of these starts would dominate the conversation, but this season the story is the depth of elite pitching across the National League.
Brutal Bad Beats
Cleveland +6 bettors suffered a brutal collapse after the Cavaliers led by 22 with eight minutes left, only for the Knicks to storm back and dominate overtime. Under bettors got hit too, with 17 overtime points pushing the game over the total by one in a true double-barrel bad beat.
Circa Football Contests Raise the Bar Again
Circa Sports has raised the bar again with $30 million in guaranteed football contest prize money, including $20 million for Circa Survivor and $6 million for Circa Million VIII. With expanded entry limits, a tough 20-week Survivor schedule, and proxy access for out-of-state players, these contests remain the gold standard of Las Vegas football betting.
The Future is Now
San Antonio’s Game 1 win has turned the Western Conference Finals into a near pick’em, even with Oklahoma City laying -6.5 in Game 2. The Spurs are now 5-1 against the Thunder this season, led by a rising Victor Wembanyama, but Oklahoma City still has championship pedigree and should get a better version of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after his rough opener.
Aces Still #1
The May 19 WNBA power ratings remain focused on future projection, not reacting to the latest box score. Las Vegas and New York still hold the top tier, Dallas remains firmly third, and Washington has flipped ahead of Chicago based on projection and the Rickea Jackson injury. These numbers are built to beat the market, not win arguments online.
Big D Shows in Dallas
Dallas looked like the third-best team in the WNBA, not just because of its explosive offense, but because the defense finally arrived. The Wings forced 18 turnovers, dominated the defensive glass, held Sonia Citron to just 7 points, and cruised past Washington 92-69 while easily covering the 4.5-point spread.
Aces Still A Buy
The Aces remain the team to beat, and buying more Las Vegas at +420 looks like clear value. With A’ja Wilson still the best player in the world, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young leading the core, Jewell Loyd and NaLyssa Smith settling into roles, and Chennedy Carter adding an electric downhill threat off the bench, this may be the most talented roster the WNBA has ever seen.
Sun at Fire - Seems Synonymous
Portland and Connecticut both look historically bad, but the Fire have at least shown some early offensive life and already proved they can win a game. With Carla Leite and Bridget Carleton scoring, plus a strong home-court edge, Portland -4 is the side — even if it feels strange laying points with the Fire.
Stephanie White Gives Indiana Its Best Chance
Stephanie White gives Indiana its best chance to build a championship formula, even if that means moving beyond a Caitlin Clark-dominated offense. Caitlin-ball is entertaining and great for ratings, but winning at the highest level requires better defense, more structure, and getting Clark comfortable working off the ball.
