Seattle Storm +26.5 on the Line (-667)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Dream prepare to host the Seattle Storm at the Gateway Center Arena, this matchup promises to showcase contrasting styles. The Dream, known for their gritty defense, will face a Storm squad that thrives on pace and perimeter shooting. With Seattle's ability to stretch the floor, they can exploit Atlanta's vulnerabilities, particularly in transition. While the Dream may be tough at home, the Storm's offensive firepower often proves overwhelming. Our model anticipates a close finish, projecting just a 6.5-point margin favoring Atlanta. However, considering Seattle's recent form and how they can dictate the tempo, taking the Storm at an alternate spread of 26.5 seems prudent. With the potential for a high-scoring affair, Seattle could easily cover the spread if they find their rhythm early. Buckle up; this one could be a thrilling shootout! It was priced at -667 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.50 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 clear 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.

Under 195.5 Total Points (-714)

When the Atlanta Dream host the Seattle Storm at the Gateway Center Arena, expect a showdown that skews towards the defensive end of the floor. Both teams have been trending under the total, showcasing their ability to stifle opponents with relentless defensive schemes. The Dream, with their focus on physicality and grit, often grind games to a halt, while the Storm are no slouches either, demonstrating a propensity to control tempo. With our model projecting the total points to hover around 165, the pace of play is likely going to favor the under. Seattle's recent games have seen them struggle to find consistent scoring, and Atlanta's defensive prowess should further exacerbate that issue. As these two teams clash, it's hard to envision them surpassing the 195.5 threshold, making the under a compelling bet as they battle it out in what should be an energy-filled but low-scoring affair. It was priced at -714 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.40 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 clear 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.
