On Saturday 19 September 2026, Atlanta Dream play Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Our model likes 5 bets here. The one it likes most is Under 177 Total Points, priced at -110 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.
Under 177 Total Points (-110)
Odds available at Bovada at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games and 5 of their last 6. They've faced some tough teams, making their recent success even more impressive. On the other hand, the Chicago Sky have struggled a bit, winning only 4 of their last 10 and losing by an average of over 6 points in their recent games. This matchup could lead to a lower-scoring game, as Chicago has allowed opponents to take a lot of three-point shots. With the total set at 177 points, I think it's smart to bet on the under. Our numbers suggest a combined total closer to 169.5, which makes this bet feel solid. Just keep in mind that both teams are capable of surprising us, so it might be a tight one. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Chicago Sky +11.5 on the Line (+112)
Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing
For the Chicago Sky to cover the spread tonight, they need to keep the game close against the Atlanta Dream. The Sky have struggled lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games, but the Dream have faced some tough teams and won just 5 of their last 6. Chicago's defense has allowed a lot of three-point attempts, which could hurt them, but the Dream have a tougher schedule overall. The expected final margin is around 7.9 points, so there's a solid chance Chicago can keep it within 11.5. Just remember, the Sky have been on a rough patch lately. It was priced at +112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21.20 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Rhyne Howard Over 25.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The odds of -111 for Rhyne Howard to score over 25.5 points, rebounds, and assists looks promising. The Atlanta Dream is on a hot streak, winning 7 of their last 10 games and averaging an impressive lead of nearly 9 points across the last 12 games we've checked. Howard has a good chance to contribute significantly as her team is in great form. On the other hand, the Chicago Sky has struggled a bit, winning only 4 of their last 10 and coming out 6 points behind on average in recent games. They also allow a fair amount of three-point attempts, which could open up more chances for Howard. The biggest risk here is how closely matched the teams are overall, but Howard's recent play gives us some hope. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.

Angel Reese Over 15.5 Rebounds and Assists (-106)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Angel Reese has been putting up solid numbers lately, helping the Atlanta Dream win seven of their last ten games. She's been a key player, contributing in both rebounds and assists, which makes the bet for her to have over 15.5 combined a good call. The Dream are also coming off some strong performances, averaging a solid lead in their recent matchups. On the other hand, the Chicago Sky have struggled a bit, winning only four of their last ten games. While both teams are close in allowing threes, the Sky tend to be a bit more careless with turnovers. The biggest risk here is that the game could be tightly contested, making it harder for Reese to hit those numbers. Still, with her recent form, this bet looks promising! It was priced at -106 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.40 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

The odds for Jordin Canada to score over 10.5 points look good, especially with how she's been playing lately. The Atlanta Dream have won five of their last six games, which shows they're in strong form. Canada has a chance to shine here, especially since the Chicago Sky have struggled lately, winning only four of their last ten games and allowing a lot of three-point attempts. The only risk is how closely matched these teams are right now. Canada will need to keep up the scoring against a team that has been known to let opponents score easily. Still, with the Dream's recent success and Chicago's defensive issues, this bet has solid potential. It was priced at -106 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.40 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Atlanta Dream v Chicago Sky. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
