Over 164.5 Total Points (-105)
Odds available at BetMGM 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 -105 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.50 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.
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.
Angel Reese Over 15.5 Points (-110)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
Angel Reese has been a bright spot for the Atlanta Dream, and they're on a hot streak, winning eight of their last ten games and scoring a lot. With the Dream averaging nearly 96 points over their last 20 games, it's likely Reese will get plenty of chances to score. However, the Washington Mystics are also playing well, winning eight of their last ten. It could be a close matchup, but betting on Reese to score over 15.5 points seems promising given her recent form. Just keep an eye on how the Mystics defend her. 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. 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.
