Portland Fire +15.5 on the Line (-161)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Atlanta Dream have been strong lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They also allow a fair number of three-point attempts and give up a good amount of rebounds. The Portland Fire have struggled more, winning only 4 of their last 10 and coming up a bit short in games. They're also traveling a long way to play this game. Because of this, betting on Portland Fire to keep the game close at a spread of 15.5 feels like a solid choice. Just remember, it's tough to overcome that travel and recent form. 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.

Meanwhile, the Portland Fire have struggled a bit, winning only 4 of their last 10 and often coming up short in their games. Our numbers suggest the total points for this matchup will be around 168.5, so betting on under 185 looks solid.

It was priced at -169 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $15.90 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it.

Carla Leite Under 18.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Carla Leite has been up and down lately, with her points and rebounds ranging quite a bit in the last ten games. She's had some games with zero rebounds and others where she scored really high, but her average is right around 18.5. With Atlanta Dream allowing opponents to grab about 34.7 rebounds a game and Portland Fire not scoring too many points recently, it feels like Leite might struggle to hit that number. The risk here is that she can surprise us and suddenly have a standout game, as we've seen her reach up to 38 points and assists before. Still, given her recent form and how both teams are playing, betting the under on Leite's points and rebounds seems like a solid choice. 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.

Megan DiLeo Under 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Megan DiLeo has had a mixed bag lately when it comes to making three-pointers, with her scores ranging from 2 to 7 in her last 10 games. This inconsistency makes it tricky to predict her performance. The Atlanta Dream are pretty solid at defending the three-point line, allowing opponents to take a fair number of shots, but they still manage to limit successful baskets. With DiLeo's average showing and the pressure from the Dream's defense, betting on her to make under 1.5 three-pointers feels reasonable. The Portland Fire have also struggled lately, winning just 4 of their last 10 games. If DiLeo has an off night, this bet could definitely come through. Just keep in mind, she may surprise you! 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 Portland Fire. 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.
