Golden State Valkyries +5.5 on the Line (-114)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream are on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games and averaging nearly 93 points a game. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries have also been performing well, winning 7 of their last 10 and scoring around 80 points per game. With both teams riding strong momentum, this matchup feels very tight. The Valkyries are getting a 5.5 point cushion, which could come in handy. The Dream are in great form, but the Valkyries have found their rhythm too. The most concrete risk is that the teams are closely matched, making it possible for the game to be decided by just a few points. This bet could be worth a shot! It was priced at -114 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.80 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.

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.

Odds correct at time of publishing
You can get +110 odds for Jordin Canada to score over 11.5 points, which looks pretty good. She's been a key player for the Atlanta Dream, especially with the team scoring 93.2 points a game over their last 20 games. Canada has been consistent, averaging nearly 10 points at home and even more on the road. With the Dream in such great form, they're likely to keep pushing the pace, giving her plenty of chances to score. The Golden State Valkyries are no slouches either, winning 7 of their last 10 games. The matchup is tight, but Canada's scoring ability shines through. The biggest risk here is how closely matched these two teams are, which could affect the flow of the game. Still, with the way Canada's been playing lately, this bet has a lot of promise. 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.
Angel Reese Under 14.5 Rebounds and Assists (-109)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring a whopping 93.2 points on average in their last 20 matchups. This high-scoring trend could make it tough for Angel Reese of the Golden State Valkyries to rack up rebounds and assists. While Reese has done well at home, her numbers dip during the day, which might limit her chances to hit that number of 14.5 combined rebounds and assists. Though the Valkyries are also playing well, winning 7 of their last 10, the pressure of the Dream's offense could make it harder for Reese to shine. She's averaging fewer assists during daytime games, and combined with the strong performance of Atlanta, this bet feels like a smart play. Just keep an eye on how the game flows; it could go either way. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 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.
Rhyne Howard Over 19.5 Points and Rebounds (-109)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds for Rhyne Howard to score over 19.5 points and rebounds look appealing. Atlanta Dream has been on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games, and Howard is a big part of that. She's been averaging nearly 16 points at night recently, and her numbers go up when she plays at home. However, the Golden State Valkyries are also strong, winning 5 of their last 6 games, which might make this matchup tougher than it seems. Still, with Howard's solid performance, this bet could pay off. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 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.
