Atlanta Dream -2.5 on the Line (-123)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

At -2.5, betting on the Atlanta Dream looks solid since they've been on a hot streak, winning 9 of their last 10 games and 6 in a row. They've faced some tough teams, but they've come through, showing they can handle pressure. Meanwhile, the New York Liberty have won 6 of their last 10, but they haven't been as consistent lately. The Dream also have the advantage of resting at home, while the Liberty have had a bit of travel to deal with. Just remember, the Liberty can still pull off a surprise. It was priced at -123 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.10 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.

Atlanta Dream to Win (-154)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

The odds at -152 for the Atlanta Dream to win look promising, especially since they've been on fire, winning 9 out of their last 10 games. They've also won all of their last 6 matches. On top of that, the teams they've played recently haven't been easy, with a combined record that shows they faced one of the toughest schedules in the league. The New York Liberty have also been doing well, winning 6 of their last 10 and 4 of their last 6. However, they just might have a tougher time on the road, as they've traveled more than Atlanta and have played teams that are slightly tougher overall. The biggest risk is how closely matched these two teams can be based on their recent performances. It was priced at -154 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.50 if it lands.

The odds of +101 for DeWanna Bonner to score over 9.5 points and assists look appealing. She has been on fire lately, and the Atlanta Dream are riding a hot streak, winning 9 of their last 10 games. While New York Liberty have also been strong, their tougher schedule might catch up with them. Bonner's recent play suggests she could easily hit this mark, but she'll face a solid defense. Just remember, the match is pretty even overall, so there's always a chance it might not go her way. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands.

Angel Reese has been on fire lately, and the Atlanta Dream are riding a hot streak, winning 9 of their last 10 games. She's been scoring well, making her chances for over 15.5 points look promising. The Dream have faced tough opponents recently, but they've managed to shine through. On the other side, the New York Liberty have also been playing well, winning 6 of their last 10, so this matchup could be competitive. The risk here is that the Liberty are good on defense, which could limit Reese's scoring opportunities. Still, with the way she's been performing, this bet feels like a solid shot.

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Breanna Stewart has been impressive, but her scoring and rebounding numbers drop during the day. While she averages about 22 points at night, that drops to around 16 in daylight games. The Atlanta Dream are also on a roll, winning 9 of their last 10 games, which means they are likely to have a strong defense against her. This matchup looks close, and with the Dream's solid form, it might be tougher for Stewart to reach those high numbers. Plus, both teams face a challenging schedule, but the Dream have been playing against slightly weaker teams lately. Bet under 31.5 points and rebounds for Stewart; it could be a smart choice given these factors. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands.
