Golden State Valkyries +3.5 on the Line (+110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

For the Golden State Valkyries to cover the spread, they just need to stay within 3.5 points of the Atlanta Dream. The Valkyries have been strong lately, winning 14 of their last 20 games and averaging nearly 79 points. On the flip side, the Dream have also been good, winning 8 of their last 10, but they've faced tougher teams. With both teams playing well, this matchup is really close, so it could go either way. The biggest risk is how well the Dream have been playing at home. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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.

Over 138.5 Total Points (-303)

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.

Rhyne Howard Under 22.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Rhyne Howard has been playing well lately, but the matchup against the Golden State Valkyries could be tricky. Both teams have won 4 of their last 6 games, so they're in decent form. However, the Valkyries have a strong defense that might limit Howard's chances to pile up points, rebounds, and assists. Adding to this, Howard's performance tends to dip when playing away, averaging fewer assists and points compared to her home games. Given how close this game is expected to be, it's a good idea to bet on the under for Howard's combined points, rebounds, and assists at 22.5. It's a tough matchup, and there's a real chance she might not reach that number today. 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.

Veronica Burton Under 7.5 Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Veronica Burton has been playing well lately, but her stats show she might not reach 7.5 rebounds and assists combined in this game. She averages about 4.6 assists at night, which is lower than the number we're betting on. Plus, her overall scoring has been a bit inconsistent, especially during daylight games. Both the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries have won a lot recently, but they're also facing off against tough competition. This matchup is rated close to a coin flip, and with both teams on a winning streak, it could be a tight game. The biggest risk here is that Burton could surprise everyone with a great performance. 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.

Jordin Canada Over 17.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Jordin Canada has been on fire lately, racking up an average of 8.3 assists per game. When she plays during the day, her assists climb even higher, showing she can perform well when the sun is out. With the Atlanta Dream winning 8 of their last 10 games, they're feeling confident and focused, which helps boost Canada's chances to shine. Scoring is important here too, as Canada averages 14.1 points a night, making the over 17.5 points and assists a solid pick. The Golden State Valkyries have also been playing well, winning 7 of their last 10, so this could be a close game. The biggest risk is how well the Valkyries defend, but Canada seems ready to step up. 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.

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.
