Over 146.5 Total Points (-233)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream are on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 93 points per game lately. The Golden State Valkyries are also doing well, winning 8 of their last 10 and putting up 81 points a game. With both teams playing strong and our numbers predicting a combined total of about 168 points, betting on over 146.5 points seems like a solid choice. The most concrete risk here is how closely matched these teams are, but their recent scoring suggests they can reach that total. It was priced at -233 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $14.30 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.

The Atlanta Dream are rolling right now, winning 10 games in a row and scoring an impressive 94.6 points per game over their last 20 outings. They've really found their groove, which could make it tough for the Golden State Valkyries. While the Valkyries have also been solid, winning 8 of their last 10, they don't have quite the same offensive punch, averaging only 81.2 points per game recently. Jordin Canada has been a key player for the Dream, averaging 7.5 assists and 13.8 points at night. With the Dream's scoring pace, he should have plenty of chances to rack up points. The biggest risk here is that both teams are strong, so close games can go either way. Still, it feels like Canada can hit over 11.5 points in this high-scoring matchup. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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.
DeWanna Bonner Over 6.5 Points and Assists (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
For DeWanna Bonner to hit over 6.5 points and assists tonight, she just needs to stay in her groove. She's been averaging over 10 points each night and tends to do even better during daylight games. With the Atlanta Dream on fire, winning 10 straight and scoring a ton, they'll likely keep the pace up, giving Bonner plenty of chances to shine. The Golden State Valkyries are also solid, but Bonner's recent form and the Dream's scoring power could really work in her favor. Just keep in mind, the Valkyries won't make it easy! It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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 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.
Angel Reese Over 15.5 Points (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Angel Reese has been scoring well, especially at night, where she averages over 20 points and assists combined. With the Atlanta Dream on a hot streak, winning ten straight games and scoring a lot, they could keep the pace high. While the Golden State Valkyries are also playing well, they score fewer points on average than the Dream. Still, I like Reese to get over 15.5 points in this exciting matchup. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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 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 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.
