Over 163.5 Total Points (-108)

Odds available at William Hill at time of publishing

The Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and averaging almost 96 points a game in their last 20. They've shown they can score big, especially at home. The Washington Mystics are also in great form, winning 8 of their last 10 and putting up around 84 points a game. With both teams in such good scoring shape, it's likely we'll see plenty of points. Betting on the total points to go over 163.5 seems smart since our numbers suggest a combined total around 167.2. The only real risk is that both teams might have a slower game, but given their recent scoring, that seems unlikely. Let's hope for an exciting shootout! 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 Over 18.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Angel Reese has been a key player for the Atlanta Dream, especially with how well she scores and assists. The Dream have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and averaging almost 96 points per game. This means there are plenty of chances for Reese to rack up both points and assists in this matchup against the Washington Mystics, who are also performing well with 8 wins in their last 10 games. The main risk here is that both teams are in strong form, which could lead to a tighter game than expected. However, with Reese's current scoring and assist ability, betting on her to go over 18.5 points and assists looks promising. It's a solid pick given her performance and how the game is shaping up. 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.

Jordin Canada Over 17.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Atlanta Dream have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive average of nearly 96 points per game in their last 20. Jordin Canada is in a good spot to help keep that momentum going, especially since the Dream are playing at home in the Gateway Center Arena. With their high-scoring ways and Canada's role in the offense, betting on her to score over 17.5 points and assists feels promising. The Washington Mystics are also performing well, winning 8 of their last 10, but they have shown some weaknesses in rebounding. That can put pressure on them, allowing Canada more chances to rack up points and assists. The most concrete risk here is that both teams have strong defenses, which could limit scoring opportunities. Still, Canada has the chance to shine in this matchup.

The Dream have been scoring a lot lately, averaging nearly 96 points over their last 20 games, which should create plenty of chances for Betts to get on the scoreboard. While Betts is expected to get good opportunities, one risk is that the Mystics have also been strong defensively. Still, with the way the Dream are playing and the volume of points they're putting up, it feels like Betts has a solid shot to reach that over.
