On Tuesday 27 October 2026, Golden State Valkyries play Atlanta Dream in the WNBA. Our model likes 5 bets here. The one it likes most is Over 149.5 Total Points, priced at -110 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.
Over 149.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream both score a lot of points, making this matchup exciting. The Valkyries have been on fire lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games and averaging over 80 points. The Dream are even hotter, winning 9 of their last 10 and scoring around 93 points per game. With both teams playing well, it should lead to a high-scoring game. Betting on the total points to go over 149.5 seems smart because our numbers suggest a combined score around 158.4. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are closely matched, and if one goes cold, it could hit the under. However, given their recent scoring runs, this bet has a good chance to pay off. 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.
Golden State Valkyries -0.5 on the Line (-118)
Odds correct at time of publishing
For the Golden State Valkyries to cover the spread tonight, they need to win by at least one point against the Atlanta Dream. The Valkyries have been strong lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 80 points on average in their last 20 matchups. They are playing at home, which can give them a nice boost. However, the Atlanta Dream are not to be underestimated, having won 9 of their last 10 games and averaging 92.8 points in their last 20. This matchup is very close, so while the Valkyries have momentum, the risk is that the Dream can put up big numbers and keep it tight. It was priced at -118 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.50 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. 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.
Angel Reese Over 27.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds of -110 on Angel Reese to score over 27.5 points and rebounds look solid. Golden State Valkyries have been in good form, winning 7 of their last 10 games and averaging over 80 points. Meanwhile, Atlanta Dream has been even stronger, winning 9 of their last 10 and scoring nearly 93 points a game. This matchup should see plenty of scoring. Angel Reese has been playing well, and with both teams scoring high, she has a good chance to hit that mark. The biggest risk is how closely matched both teams are right now, so it could be a tight contest. But with the recent scoring trends, it seems like a great opportunity for Reese to shine. 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.

Tiffany Hayes has been playing well, but her numbers dip a bit when she plays in daylight. Recently, she's been averaging around 2.2 assists away from home and only 8.3 points in those games. The Golden State Valkyries have been strong defensively, allowing less scoring over their last few games. While both teams are on winning streaks, scoring under 13.5 points for Hayes seems likely given her recent performance. The risk here is that she could have a standout game, but with the way Golden State is defending right now, it feels like a solid bet for the under. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 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.

Jordin Canada has been on fire lately, scoring an average of 14.2 points in night games. The Golden State Valkyries have been winning a lot, but they face a tough Atlanta Dream team that also scores high, averaging 92.8 points over their last 20 games. Canada's ability to assist and score makes this bet look promising. However, the Dream are on a roll too, so it could be a tight game. Still, with the way Canada has been playing, betting on her to score over 11.5 points seems like a solid choice. It was priced at +108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $20.80 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.
That is how our model reads Golden State Valkyries v Atlanta Dream. 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.
