Atlanta Dream vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction & Picks (Jordin Canada Key Factor): Winning Game Angles

The Atlanta Dream have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games. For this matchup against the Minnesota Lynx, I like the bet on total points being under 182.5. The Dream have shown they often allow teams to shoot a lot of threes, but they still keep their opponents' scoring in check. Plus, the combined points expected from both teams is about 168.6, which is well below our line. One risk here is that both teams are very close in talent, and that could lead to surprising scoring. It was priced at -204 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $14.90 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. 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 10.5 Points (+110)

Jordin Canada has been on a scoring roll lately, helping the Atlanta Dream win 7 of their last 10 games. The Dream tend to give up a good number of rebounds, which can lead to more chances for Canada to get points. Plus, Minnesota Lynx might struggle to keep up with her scoring, especially since both teams are pretty evenly matched. The biggest risk here is that Canada's performance can be inconsistent, but with the way she's been playing, betting on her to score over 10.5 points seems worth a shot. 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. 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.

Naz Hillmon Over 4.5 Rebounds (+110)

Naz Hillmon has been playing well lately, and the Atlanta Dream have been winning a lot, taking 7 of their last 10 games. They often allow a fair number of rebounds, giving up about 34.7 a game. Since the Dream tend to let their opponents grab boards, it could open up more chances for Hillmon to collect rebounds. The matchup against the Minnesota Lynx is pretty close, so there's always a chance it might not go as planned. However, with Hillmon's recent form and the way the Dream play, betting on over 4.5 rebounds feels like a smart choice. Just remember, things can change quickly in a game. 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. 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 18.5 Points (+110)

The Atlanta Dream are facing off against the Minnesota Lynx, and Rhyne Howard has been showing some strong scoring lately. In her last 10 games, she has scored anywhere from 20 to 33 points, which suggests she's capable of putting up big numbers. The Dream have been winning a lot too, taking 7 of their last 10 games, which should help keep the energy high for Howard to do well. However, Minnesota's defense can be tough, and they've allowed a decent number of three-point attempts. That said, Rhyne's ability to rack up points makes the bet on her scoring over 18.5 points a solid choice. Just remember, Minnesota's defense can surprise, so it won't be easy, but given her recent form, this pick has a good chance. 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. 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 Minnesota Lynx. 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.
