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

For the Lynx to cover the point spread tonight against the Dream, they need to keep up their scoring and limit Atlanta's three-point shooting. Minnesota has a good chance here, especially since the Dream allow a lot of three-point attempts. Plus, the Lynx have been solid on the boards lately, which helps balance the game. However, the Dream have won 7 of their last 10 games, so they're not an easy opponent. If Minnesota can play strong defense and control the rebounds, they should do well tonight. It was priced at -145 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.90 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. 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.

Under 187.5 Total Points (-263)

The Atlanta Dream have been playing well lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They tend to allow teams to shoot a lot of three-pointers, but they still manage to keep the total points down. Our numbers suggest a combined score of around 169 points, which is significantly lower than the line for this game. One risk to keep in mind is that the Dream give up a fair number of rebounds, which could lead to more scoring chances for the Lynx. Overall, betting on under 187.5 points seems like a solid choice here. It was priced at -263 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.80 if it lands.

Kayla McBride Over 19.5 Points and Rebounds (+110)

Kayla McBride has been on fire lately, averaging over 22 points and rebounds combined in her recent games. The Atlanta Dream have allowed opponents to take quite a few threes and grab a fair number of rebounds, which could help her rack up those stats. Plus, since the Dream have won 7 of their last 10 games, they'll likely keep the pace up, giving McBride more chances to score and rebound. Just remember, the most concrete risk here is that both teams are close in terms of rebounding, so that could limit her opportunities. 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.

Angel Reese Over 30.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Angel Reese needs to score and grab boards to go over 30.5 points and rebounds tonight. She has been pretty consistent, with her rebounds often hitting around 4.5 and her scoring fluctuating but reaching up to 8 points recently. The Atlanta Dream have been strong lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games, but they do allow a decent number of rebounds. The biggest risk here is that the Dream defense can be tough, and if they limit her chances, she might not reach that total. Still, with her current form, there's a good chance she can hit this mark. 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. 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.

Olivia Miles Under 18.5 Points (-110)

Olivia Miles from the Minnesota Lynx has been getting a lot of attention lately, but her scoring might take a hit in this game. The Atlanta Dream have won 7 of their last 10 games and are tough on defense, especially when it comes to limiting points. Since 2019, they have allowed opponents to shoot a lot of three-pointers and have given up over 34 rebounds a game. This means they can be a bit vulnerable, but they also know how to keep scores down. With the odds close to a coin flip, this bet on Miles scoring under 18.5 points feels reasonable. The biggest risk is that Miles could have a hot shooting night, but the way Atlanta has been playing defense lately makes it tough for anyone to rack up points easily. 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 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.
