Atlanta Dream +0.5 on the Line (-161)
Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing
For the Atlanta Dream to cover the point spread tonight, they just need to win or keep it close against the New York Liberty. The Dream are on a hot streak, winning 9 of their last 10 games, and they've been especially strong lately, winning their last 6 in a row. They've faced tough competition, too, with their opponents having a losing record overall. The Liberty have played well, winning 6 of their last 10, but they have a tougher schedule overall. A key risk is that the Liberty are also in good form, making this matchup quite close. It was priced at -161 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.20 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. 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.
