Seattle Storm +24.5 on the Line (-526)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

When the Atlanta Dream take on the Seattle Storm at Gateway Center Arena, expect a fascinating clash of styles. The Dream thrive in a slower-paced game, relying on solid defense and strategic execution. However, the Storm bring a dynamic offensive attack that can exploit any defensive lapses. Our model anticipates a tightly contested affair, projecting a narrow margin favoring Atlanta by just 6.5 points. Taking the Storm at an alternate spread of 24.5 feels particularly enticing given their recent form and ability to score in bunches. Seattle has the offensive firepower to stretch the floor and keep the pressure on, especially if they find their rhythm early. The Dream will need to work hard to keep pace, and if they falter, the Storm could easily cover that spread. In this matchup, expect the Storm to push the tempo and capitalize on every opportunity, making this bet a wise choice in a potentially thrilling showdown. It was priced at -526 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.90 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. Our model likes this one a lot. 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 (-500)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Dream prepare to host the Seattle Storm at the Gateway Center Arena, expect a clash of styles that leans heavily towards a defensive battle. Both teams have been struggling to find their rhythm offensively, with the Dream's recent games showcasing their reliance on solid defense rather than high-scoring fireworks. Meanwhile, the Storm have been grappling with injuries, which has hampered their scoring efficiency. With both squads likely to focus on tightening up their defense, the pace of this matchup should favor a lower-scoring affair. Our model suggests a combined total closer to 165 points, well below the 191.5 mark. Look for the clock to run a bit slower, as both teams grind it out in a test of wills. In a game like this, taking the Under feels like a smart play, as the defensive intensity takes center stage. It was priced at -500 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12 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. 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.
