Connecticut Sun +22.5 on the Line (-556)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

As the Dallas Wings host the Connecticut Sun at the College Park Center, all eyes will be on a matchup that promises intensity and strategic play. The Wings have struggled to find their rhythm lately, particularly against high-caliber teams like the Sun, who thrive on exploiting defensive lapses. Connecticut's fast-paced offense, led by their dynamic playmakers, can capitalize on any slippage from Dallas, stretching the lead in a hurry. Our model suggests a narrow margin, but considering the Sun's recent ability to dictate tempo and control the boards, an alternate spread of 22.5 seems enticing. The Wings will need to dig deep to match Connecticut's energy, and with the Sun's depth and experience, they're well-equipped to thrive in hostile territory. Expect the Sun to assert their dominance, making this alternate spread a compelling bet as they look to build momentum heading into the postseason. It was priced at -556 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.80 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.

Under 176.5 Total Points (-179)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

As the Dallas Wings prepare to host the Connecticut Sun at College Park Center, this matchup presents a compelling case for the under. Both teams have shown a tendency to grind out games, particularly against strong defensive squads. The Sun, known for their robust defensive strategy, will likely stifle the Wings' scoring opportunities, while Dallas has struggled to find consistent offensive rhythm this season. Additionally, the pace of play is expected to lean toward a slower tempo, focusing on half-court sets rather than fast breaks-crucial for keeping the score in check. The model leans heavily toward a total around 167.8 points, aligning with the teams' recent performances. With both clubs prioritizing defense and showing a penchant for low-scoring battles, betting the under seems like the savvy play here. Expect a tight contest that keeps the scoreboard quiet. It was priced at -179 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $15.60 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.

Paige Bueckers Under 27.5 Points and Assists (-127)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As the Dallas Wings prepare to face off against the Connecticut Sun, all eyes will be on Paige Bueckers, the rising star whose versatility often dazzles. However, tonight's matchup presents a unique challenge. The Sun's defense is renowned for its tenacity, particularly in the perimeter, where Bueckers tends to thrive. With the Sun focusing on shutting down her scoring lanes, the opportunities for her to rack up points and assists could be stifled. Moreover, Bueckers is still integrating into the Wings' system, and with a projected output hovering around 24.2 for points and assists, the under on 27.5 feels like a savvy play. Expect her to encounter a physical game, potentially leading to fewer chances to shine. With Connecticut's defensive prowess and a bit of adjustment time needed for Bueckers, the under is a smart bet in this high-stakes clash. It was priced at -127 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $17.90 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 Dallas Wings v Connecticut Sun. 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.
