Connecticut Sun +24.5 on the Line (-400)
Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing
The Connecticut Sun need to keep the game close against the Minnesota Lynx tonight. With the Lynx winning 7 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 91.3 points per game, this could be tough. However, the Sun have a chance to stay competitive, especially since they've been known to start games slowly, trailing by an average of 14 points in recent matchups. The Lynx may also struggle on the road, making this a good opportunity for the Sun to cover the spread. Just keep in mind the Lynx's strong form could push the game in their favor. It was priced at -400 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.50 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.
Olivia Miles Under 19.5 Points (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Olivia Miles has been playing well lately, but the Connecticut Sun's defense can be tough. They've allowed a lot of three-point attempts, which could limit her scoring chances. Miles might face a challenge since the Sun have only won 3 of their last 10 games and often fall behind early, making it harder for her to get points. The Minnesota Lynx are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games, which could mean they focus more on defense against Miles. Although our numbers show this bet is close to a coin flip, it's worth noting that Miles hasn't been a high scorer in games against strong defenses. That makes betting under 19.5 points a solid choice for this matchup. 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.

For Kayla McBride to score over 18.5 points tonight, she needs to keep up her solid form against the Connecticut Sun. The Lynx have been on fire lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games and scoring a whopping 91.3 points a game. McBride has been a key player in this success, and the Sun have struggled defensively, giving up a lot of points and letting teams shoot a high number of three-pointers. However, the Sun have a chance to turn things around, as they have won 3 of their last 10 games and often come out fighting after falling behind. With both teams being so close in their recent performances, it could go either way. Still, with Minnesota's scoring ability, McBride is likely to find opportunities to score tonight. It was priced at +108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $20.80 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.
Courtney Williams Under 16.5 Points and Rebounds (-106)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Courtney Williams has been struggling a bit lately, and this matchup against the Minnesota Lynx might not help her. The Lynx have been strong defensively, winning 7 of their last 10 games and allowing fewer points than most teams. They also have a solid ability to limit scoring, which makes this a tough spot for Williams. The Connecticut Sun have had a rough time lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. With the Lynx playing so well, there's a good chance Williams could fall short of the 16.5 total points and rebounds. One risk is that the Sun often fall behind early, which could limit her opportunities to rack up stats. It was priced at -106 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.40 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 Connecticut Sun v Minnesota Lynx. 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.
