Connecticut Sun +28 on the Line (-455)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
For the Connecticut Sun to cover a spread of +28 against the Minnesota Lynx, they need to keep the game close. The Lynx have been scoring a lot, averaging over 91 points in their recent games, while the Sun have struggled, winning just 1 out of their last 6 games. However, the Sun are playing at home, which can give them a little boost. The biggest risk is that the Lynx have been winning comfortably, so it could be tough for the Sun to stay within that spread. It was priced at -455 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.20 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.

Aaliyah Edwards is in good form, and with the Connecticut Sun struggling to score lately, she'll need to step up. The Lynx have been lighting it up, averaging over 91 points a game, so that creates a good chance for Edwards to find opportunities to score. Plus, the Sun's defense has been shaky, allowing more chances. The biggest risk here is that Connecticut has only won 1 of their last 6 games, which shows they're not playing their best. Still, with the right looks, Edwards should be able to get over 11.5 points. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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.
Natasha Howard Over 10.5 Rebounds and Assists (+110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Natasha Howard has been a solid contributor for the Minnesota Lynx, who are scoring a lot more than the Connecticut Sun lately. The Lynx have won 7 of their last 10 games, while the Sun have struggled, winning only 2 of their last 10. With Howard's ability to rack up rebounds and assists, betting on her to get over 10.5 combined looks good. The most concrete risk here is how close these teams are right now, especially with Howard going against a Sun team that has found it tough recently. Still, with the Lynx scoring around 91 points per game, Howard should have plenty of chances to help her team and hit that mark. 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 has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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.

For Kayla McBride to score over 17.5 points tonight, she needs to keep up her scoring rhythm against the Connecticut Sun. The Lynx have been hot lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games and averaging over 91 points, which means there will be plenty of chances to put points on the board. Plus, the Sun have struggled recently, allowing teams to score freely. Just remember, the Sun can be tricky at home, and they've been known to fall behind early. Still, McBride looks set to shine tonight. 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.
