Atlanta Dream -2.5 on the Line (-122)

Odds available at BetRivers 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 -122 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.20 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.

Atlanta Dream to Win (-149)

Odds available at Bovada 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 -149 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.70 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.

Jordin Canada Over 11.5 Points (+110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

Jordin Canada has been on fire lately, helping the Atlanta Dream win 6 games in a row and 9 of their last 10. Her scoring has been key to their success, and she's playing against the New York Liberty, who have had a tough schedule but have still managed to win 4 of their last 6. Betting on Canada to score over 11.5 points feels like a solid choice. The chance of this bet hitting is close to even, but the biggest worry is that New York has been tough on defense. Still, with Canada's current form, she has a good shot to reach that number. 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. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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 Under 30.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Angel Reese from the Atlanta Dream has been on fire lately, but playing against the New York Liberty will be tough. The Liberty have a strong defense, and they've been facing some of the toughest teams in the league. Reese's recent numbers show she's been scoring well, but when you combine her points, rebounds, and assists, it might not hit the mark with a solid Liberty defense in her way. The bet here is for Reese to stay under 30.5 total points, rebounds, and assists. The risk is that both teams are playing well, and Reese could surprise us. However, the Liberty's solid defense could limit her production more than expected. It's a close call, but this matchup suggests she may not reach that number today. 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.

Leonie Fiebich Under 14.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Leonie Fiebich needs to keep her combined points, rebounds, and assists under 14.5 tonight for this bet to hit. She has been solid at home, but her overall numbers suggest she might struggle against a tough New York Liberty team. While Fiebich scores around 10 points at night, her assists and rebounds don't usually add up to a big total. The Atlanta Dream are on a hot streak, winning 6 games in a row and showing strong form. However, Fiebich averages just 1.5 assists away from home, which is concerning. With New York facing a tough schedule overall, this matchup could be tighter than expected, making it tricky for her to reach that 14.5 mark. 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 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.
