Dallas Wings +4.5 on the Line (-114)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Dallas Wings have been on a roll lately, winning 5 of their last 6 games and scoring a solid 89.4 points per game. They've also won 7 of their last 10, showing they know how to put points on the board and keep up the pressure. Betting on the Wings to cover a spread of 4.5 seems promising, especially since they're playing at home where they feel comfortable. The Golden State Valkyries have also been strong, winning 5 of their last 6, but they've faced tougher opponents recently. The Wings are rated to have a good chance here, and our numbers predict a close game, with a final margin expected to be around a point. The biggest risk is simply how evenly matched these teams are, which makes this an exciting bet. It was priced at -114 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.80 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. 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.

Both the Dallas Wings and Golden State Valkyries are on hot streaks, winning 5 of their last 6 games each. The Wings are scoring a lot, averaging nearly 90 points a game this season. With both teams playing well, this matchup should see plenty of points. Our numbers predict a combined total around 167, which is above the line we're betting on. The biggest risk here is that both teams have faced tough opponents lately, which could impact their scoring. Still, I think the Over 151.5 has a good chance to hit. It was priced at -167 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.00 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 likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.
