Jessica Shepard Under 26.5 Points and Rebounds (-114)

The bet on Jessica Shepard to score under 26.5 points and rebounds looks solid at these odds. Our numbers show she's been in a bit of a slump lately, averaging only about 20 points and rebounds combined over her last few games. She's also been struggling with assists, which could mean less scoring help from her teammates. Looking at the matchup against Portland Fire, they have been tough on defense, and Shepard hasn't been getting as many free throws or offensive rebounds lately. The biggest risk here is that she might surprise everyone and step up her game, but overall, this pick seems like a smart choice based on her current form. It was priced at -114 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.80 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model likes this one a lot.

Paige Bueckers Under 27.5 Points and Assists (-118)

Paige Bueckers has been struggling a bit lately, with her recent numbers showing fewer points and assists than usual. In her last few games, she has averaged around 6.6 assists and under 27.5 combined points and assists, which suggests she might not hit that mark against the Portland Fire. The Fire's defense can be tough, and they often force turnovers, which could make it harder for her to find her rhythm. While our numbers show she's a strong favorite to go under this total, the biggest risk is that Bueckers could have a breakout game since she's capable of surprising performances. However, considering her recent form and the matchup, betting on her to score under 27.5 points plus assists seems like a smart pick. It was priced at -118 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.50 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Bridget Carleton Over 4.5 Rebounds (-108)

Bridget Carleton needs to grab over 4.5 rebounds tonight for this bet to work. She's been doing well lately, with her team showing strong scoring form and her recent stats looking good, especially with blocks and turnovers. Carleton usually plays hard and has been pulling in decent rebounds, making this a reasonable pick. The biggest worry is that her offensive rebounds have been a bit lower than usual. Still, with the way she's been performing, she has a solid chance to hit that mark against the Portland Fire. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 if it lands.
