Golden State Valkyries +4 on the Line (-105)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Golden State Valkyries need to keep it close tonight against the Atlanta Dream, and I think they can do it. Both teams have been playing well lately, winning four of their last six games. The Valkyries have scored an impressive average of 78.6 points in their last 20 games, showing they can put up numbers against solid defenses. The Dream have faced a tough schedule this season, which can tire a team out. While this matchup is nearly a toss-up, the Valkyries are right there with them in form and scoring ability. The biggest risk is how well the Dream play at home, but I trust the Valkyries to keep it competitive and cover the spread. It was priced at -105 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.50 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. 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.

Over 138.5 Total Points (-303)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries both have strong scoring records lately, with Golden State averaging a solid 78.6 points in their last 20 games. Atlanta has been performing well too, winning 8 of their last 10 games. This matchup looks promising for a high score since our numbers suggest a combined total of around 166.4 points. One risk to consider is that both teams recently faced tough opponents, which could affect their performance. Still, betting on over 138.5 points feels like a good shot in this matchup. It was priced at -303 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.30 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. 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.

Angel Reese Under 14.5 Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

For this bet to hit, Angel Reese needs to have fewer than 15 combined rebounds and assists against the Atlanta Dream. She's been doing well lately, but the Dream have been tough. They've won 8 of their last 10 games and have faced some strong teams recently, which means they know how to defend. Reese usually averages more assists and rebounds at home, but tonight is different with the Dream's strong defense in play. Plus, with both teams playing well lately, it could be a close match, making it harder for Reese to rack up those numbers. There's a real chance this bet could lose, depending on how the game unfolds. 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.

Kiah Stokes Over 3.5 Points (-111)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Kiah Stokes has been scoring well lately, and she's hitting over 3.5 points in most of her games. The Atlanta Dream have shown they can handle tough competition, winning 8 of their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries have also been strong, scoring an average of nearly 79 points in their last 20 games. This matchup could see plenty of points, which bodes well for Stokes. One risk is that both teams have recently played well, making it a close contest. Still, with the current form of Stokes and how she fits into the game plan, there's a solid chance she'll clear that points mark. It's not a sure thing, but Stokes has been in a good scoring rhythm that we believe will continue tonight. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 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.

Rhyne Howard Over 4.5 Rebounds (+112)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Rhyne Howard has been on fire lately, especially at home where she grabs an average of 4.4 rebounds. With the Atlanta Dream winning 8 of their last 10 games, they are riding a good wave of momentum. The Valkyries are also strong, winning 7 of their last 10, but they haven't faced as tough of a schedule as Atlanta has. The bet is for Rhyne Howard to get over 4.5 rebounds. This is a solid pick since she's been showing up big at home. The most concrete risk is that the teams are closely matched, which could affect the number of rebounds available. Still, with Howard's recent form, this feels like a good chance. It was priced at +112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21.20 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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 Golden State Valkyries. 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.
