Over 164.5 Total Points (-108)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning eight of their last ten games and averaging nearly 96 points in their recent matchups. They're scoring well and seem to be in a strong rhythm. The Washington Mystics are no slouches either, also winning eight of their last ten and scoring 83.6 points a game. Both teams have shown they can put up numbers. This makes betting on over 164.5 total points a solid choice. While the matchup is pretty close, the Dream's high-scoring run gives them an advantage at home. The biggest risk is that both teams are playing well, and if their defenses step up, it could be a lower-scoring game. But with both teams' current form, we might see a shootout here. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 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.
Angel Reese Under 14.5 Rebounds and Assists (+110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Angel Reese has been a standout player lately, but the matchup against the Atlanta Dream is tricky. The Dream have been on fire, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring nearly 96 points a game recently. This means they're likely to keep the pace fast, which could limit Reese's opportunities for rebounds and assists. Even though Reese is talented, the number of rebounds and assists she needs to reach could be tough with the Dream playing so well. Plus, the Mystics and Dream have been similarly strong lately, both winning 5 of their last 6 games. It's possible that Reese might not hit those high numbers today, so betting on her to get under 14.5 rebounds and assists seems smart. 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 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.
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The bet on Lauren Betts scoring over 5.5 points looks promising at -115 odds. Both Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics are in great form, winning 8 of their last 10 games. The Dream have been particularly strong, scoring an impressive 95.9 points a game in their last 20 outings. Betts has been getting a fair amount of free throws lately, which could help her score more easily. The main risk is that the Mystics also have a solid defense, so it might be close. Still, Betts has a good shot to hit the over here. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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 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.
Rhyne Howard Under 18.5 Points (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Rhyne Howard has been on fire lately, helping the Atlanta Dream score an impressive average of nearly 96 points in their last 20 games. However, in this matchup against the Washington Mystics, it might be tougher for her to reach over 18.5 points. Both teams are playing well, winning 5 of their last 6 games, but Howard could face a lot of defensive pressure given how closely matched these teams are. On top of that, the Mystics have been known to limit scoring opportunities. They typically force more turnovers and give away fewer free throws than usual. This could mean fewer chances for Howard to rack up points. While she's capable of a big game, the risk is that the defense might just keep her under that total. 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 Washington Mystics. 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.
