Golden State Valkyries +5.5 on the Line (-122)
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 -122 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.20 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 145.5 Total Points (-270)
Odds correct at time of publishing
For the game tonight, we're looking for a lot of points, betting on the total to go over 145.5. The Atlanta Dream have been on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 93.2 points on average over their last 20 games. The Golden State Valkyries have also been solid, winning 5 of their last 6 and putting up 80.2 points per game. Both teams are in great scoring form, so there's a good chance we see a high-scoring match. The biggest risk is how closely matched these teams are in recent form. It was priced at -270 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.70 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.
Veronica Burton Under 16.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (+110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds for Veronica Burton to score under 16.5 points, rebounds, and assists look tempting at +110. She's been solid but more effective during night games, averaging about 9.1 rebounds and assists combined. However, during the day, that average drops to 7.6. With the Atlanta Dream's recent scoring spree, they've been racking up points, but Burton's contributions might not match the pace. Both the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries have won five of their last six games, making this matchup pretty even. The risk here is how closely matched these teams are, which could lead to unexpected performances. Stick with the under for Burton, as the numbers suggest she might not hit the mark today. 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.
Rhyne Howard Under 7.5 Rebounds and Assists (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
You can get Rhyne Howard's rebounds plus assists under 7.5 at a decent price. Our numbers see a good chance for this bet because Howard has been averaging around 3 assists when playing at night and tends to get slightly fewer assists away from home. With the Atlanta Dream on a hot streak, winning 9 of their last 10 games, they might not need Howard to do too much. The risk here is that Howard has shown she can step up her game when needed. If she finds herself in a close match against the Golden State Valkyries, she might contribute more than expected. Still, with her recent numbers and the Dream's solid performances, this bet looks promising. 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.
Jordin Canada Over 15.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
You can get Jordin Canada to score over 15.5 points and rebounds, and our numbers say there's a good chance that happens. Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 93.2 points each game. Canada has been playing well, averaging 14.2 points at night and getting 8.1 assists, which can really help boost her totals. The Golden State Valkyries are solid too, winning 7 of their last 10, but they score less than Atlanta. The biggest risk is that both teams are in good form, so it could be close. 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.
