On Saturday 24 October 2026, Atlanta Dream play Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA. Our model likes 5 bets here. The one it likes most is Golden State Valkyries +5.5 on the Line, priced at -120 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.

Golden State Valkyries +5.5 on the Line (-120)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Atlanta Dream have been on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring over 93 points a game recently. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries have also performed well, winning 5 of their last 6. With both teams playing strong, a close match is expected. The Valkyries should keep it tight, especially since they've been winning games and scoring well too. The Dream might be favored, but the Valkyries' recent form gives them a solid chance to cover the spread. The biggest risk is how close the teams are in overall performance lately. It was priced at -120 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.30 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. 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 146 Total Points (-263)

For the bet to win, both teams need to score a lot of points tonight. The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games and averaging over 93 points each game in their last 20. The Golden State Valkyries are also playing well, having won 7 of their last 10 and scoring about 80 points a game. With both teams in good scoring form, the total points should be high. The biggest risk is that both teams are on similar winning streaks, so it could be close. But overall, our numbers suggest a lot of scoring is likely. It was priced at -263 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.80 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.

Jordin Canada Over 11.5 Points (+110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The odds on Jordin Canada scoring over 11.5 points are looking good at +117. Atlanta Dream is in great form, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 93.2 points a game. Canada has been on fire, averaging 14.2 points at night. Plus, she's playing at home where she usually puts up solid numbers. The Golden State Valkyries have also been winning, but their scoring is not as high, averaging only 80.2 points a game. The only real worry is if Canada has an off night, but her recent play suggests she can hit that mark. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. 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 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.

Veronica Burton Over 3.5 Rebounds (+110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Veronica Burton has been solid lately, especially at home where she scores nearly 10 points a game. With the Atlanta Dream winning 9 of their last 10 games, they are in great form and will likely have plenty of chances for rebounds. The Golden State Valkyries have also been performing well, but their scoring is lower overall. The risk here is how close the match is, as both teams are playing well. Still, I like Burton to grab over 3.5 rebounds in this exciting matchup. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. 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.

DeWanna Bonner Over 6.5 Points (-111)

Odds correct at time of publishing

DeWanna Bonner has been scoring well lately, especially during the day. She averages about 13.5 points in daylight, which is a solid number. The Atlanta Dream are on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive average of 93.2 points per game. This means the game should have plenty of chances for Bonner to rack up points. The Golden State Valkyries have also been doing well, but they score less overall, with an average of 80.2 points per game. The matchup is close, and there's a chance Bonner could be tightly defended. Still, given her scoring ability and the Dream's scoring form, betting on her to score over 6.5 points seems like a good idea. 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. 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.

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.
