There are five contests across the association throughout the day, and no shortage of options to consider. Let’s not waste any more time, and jump right into some of our favorite selections for August 17.

The New York Liberty have gone 3-5 since Breanna Stewart went down with a leg injury back on July 26. Stewart exited in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Sparks, who won 101-99 in New York after Rickea Jackson's game-winning buzzer beater.

The Liberty now hit the road and visit the Los Angeles Sparks as two-point favorites with a total of 175 points at FanDuel. The Sparks are fighting for their playoff lives and consequently playing much better lately, having won nine of their past 11 games.
