Seattle Storm +24.5 on the Line (-556)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
As the Atlanta Dream gear up to host the Seattle Storm at the Gateway Center Arena, there's a compelling narrative brewing in this matchup. The Storm, known for their high-octane offense, will likely look to push the pace against a Dream squad that has struggled defensively at times this season. With a projected margin of just 6.5 points, the expectation is that this game will be close, but the Storm's ability to create separation late, bolstered by their experience, cannot be overlooked. Expect Seattle to leverage their depth, particularly in the second half, which could lead to a surge that widens the gap. Betting on the Storm to cover a 24.5-point alternate spread feels prudent, especially as they typically thrive in tight contests. With both teams vying for playoff positioning, look for the Storm to flex their muscles just when it matters most. It was priced at -556 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.80 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 191.5 Total Points (-526)

When the Atlanta Dream host the Seattle Storm, we're in for a clash that may not light up the scoreboard. Both teams tend to grind it out, prioritizing defense over offensive fireworks. The Dream have been particularly stingy at home, allowing only a handful of teams to break the century mark. Meanwhile, the Storm's struggle to find their rhythm in recent outings suggests they might not be the offensive juggernaut we've seen in the past. With both squads likely to engage in a slower-paced battle, the model projects a combined total closer to 165 points. That's a significant dip from the set line of 191.5. Expect a game that emphasizes strategic play, tight defense, and an overall battle for every point. Betting the under here seems not just prudent, but reflective of how these two teams are likely to approach this matchup. It was priced at -526 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.90 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. 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.
