On Wednesday 7 October 2026, Atlanta Dream play New York Liberty in the WNBA. Our model likes 6 bets here. The one it likes most is Over 170 Total Points, priced at -110 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.
Over 170 Total Points (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream are on fire, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive average of 94 points in their last 20. They've won their last six games, which shows they are in great form. Meanwhile, the New York Liberty have had a decent run, winning 6 of their last 10, but they've faced some tough competition lately. With both teams showing they can score, this game at the Gateway Center Arena looks promising for a lot of points. The expected combined total is about 173.5, so betting on over 170 seems like a solid choice. Just keep in mind that the Liberty have faced a tough schedule, which could make this game closer than it seems. 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.
Atlanta Dream -2.5 on the Line (-108)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds are offering a chance to back the Atlanta Dream at -2.5, and they've been on fire lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games. They've even scored an impressive 94 points a game over their last 20 games. In contrast, the New York Liberty have won 6 of their last 10, facing some tough teams along the way. While both teams are playing well, the Dream have the momentum and home advantage. New York's strength of schedule has been challenging, which could wear them down. The most concrete risk is that New York has played tough opponents, making this matchup closer than it looks. Overall, this bet feels solid, but nothing is guaranteed. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 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.

Atlanta Dream to Win (-135)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds for the Atlanta Dream to win are looking solid at -145. They've been on fire lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 94 points on average over their last 20 games. Plus, they've won every one of their last 6 games, showing they're in great form. On the other hand, the New York Liberty have had a tougher schedule, which makes their recent wins less impressive. They've won 6 out of their last 10, but they are traveling further for this game. The Dream also have a slight rest advantage, which could matter in a close match. While the Liberty have played well lately, they might struggle against a Dream team that is really clicking right now. It was priced at -135 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $17.40 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Angel Reese Under 11.5 Rebounds (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning nine of their last ten games and scoring a ton of points. Angel Reese has been a standout player, but facing a strong team like New York Liberty can be tough. The Liberty have had a challenging schedule and have been playing solid defense, making it harder for any single player to rack up big numbers. For this matchup, I like the bet on Angel Reese getting under 11.5 rebounds. The numbers suggest it's a good chance, especially since Reese has been averaging fewer offensive rebounds lately. The biggest risk here is that if the game is close and physical, she could end up grabbing more boards than expected. But with the current form of both teams, this bet feels smart. 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.
Odds correct at time of publishing
Breanna Stewart has been on a roll recently, helping the New York Liberty win four of their last six games. Atlanta Dream is scoring a ton, averaging 94 points in their last 20 games, so there will be plenty of shots to grab rebounds. Stewart usually gets a good number of rebounds, and with both teams fighting hard, this game could be a battle under the boards. The biggest risk is that the matchup is tight, and both teams are good, so things might not go as planned. Still, this bet looks promising overall. 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.
Rhyne Howard Under 3.5 Assists (-111)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Rhyne Howard has been playing really well lately, but lately, she hasn't been racking up a lot of assists. In fact, her recent games show she's been getting fewer chances to set up her teammates. The Atlanta Dream have been on fire, winning six straight games and scoring a lot, but Howard's assists haven't followed that trend. The New York Liberty have faced tough teams recently, which could slow down her chances even more. Plus, both teams are close in terms of form, making it a tricky matchup. So, betting on Howard to get under 3.5 assists could be a smart choice, even though it's not a guaranteed win. Keep an eye on how the game unfolds! It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 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 New York Liberty. 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.
