Under 175.5 Total Points (+110)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Dallas Wings have a solid scoring advantage lately, but when they face the Los Angeles Sparks, the total points are likely to stay low. Our numbers suggest the combined score will be around 170, which is well below the 175.5 mark. The Sparks have struggled on the road, and both teams are not great at rebounding, which can limit scoring opportunities. The biggest risk is how close these teams are in win percentage, making it a tight matchup. Overall, betting on under 175.5 seems like a smart pick. 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 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.

Awak Kuier Under 9.5 Points (-110)

Awak Kuier has been showing some strong defensive skills lately, grabbing an impressive average of 8 rebounds and blocking shots at nearly twice her usual rate. Playing at home in the College Park Center, the Dallas Wings will look to keep things tight against the Los Angeles Sparks. With Kuier's solid form, she seems poised to put up fewer than 10 points in this matchup. However, one big risk is how close these two teams are in overall scoring ability. If the Sparks find their rhythm early, it could challenge Kuier's chances to score. Still, with the way she's been playing, betting on her to stay under 9.5 points seems like a smart move. 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.

Paige Bueckers Under 27.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Paige Bueckers has been putting up some impressive numbers lately, scoring around 23 points per game and making more three-point shots than usual. However, she has struggled a bit with assists, averaging less than two in recent games. That's a key reason why betting on her to score under 27.5 combined points and assists seems smart right now. The Dallas Wings will be facing the Los Angeles Sparks, and both teams are known for their strong defenses. With Bueckers playing against a tough matchup, there's a solid chance she won't hit that 27.5 mark. Keep in mind, she might still have a great game, but the matchup could prevent her from reaching those numbers. 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.

Rae Burrell Over 14.5 Points (-110)

Rae Burrell is set at over 14.5 points, and the odds look decent at -115. Our numbers suggest this is a close call, which means there's a fair chance she could hit this mark. Burrell has been taking fewer three-point shots lately, but she's been getting to the basket more often, which can help her score. The Dallas Wings will be looking to dominate at home, and Burrell could play a big role in that. Just remember, the Sparks have a solid defense, so that's a real risk to consider. 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.
