Dallas Wings +8 on the Line (-108)

Odds available at LowVig at time of publishing

The Golden State Valkyries have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and 5 of their last 6. They've faced tough teams, but the Dallas Wings are also strong, with 7 wins in their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 89.2 points per game this season. This matchup looks pretty balanced, so taking Dallas Wings with the points seems smart. With the Valkyries being favored by 8 points, that's quite a cushion for the Wings, who are playing well. The most concrete risk is how close these teams are in recent form, making it tricky to predict a blowout. The Wings have shown they can keep games close, so this bet could pay off nicely. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 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.

Cecilia Zandalasini Over 9.5 Points and Assists (+110)

Cecilia Zandalasini has been on a roll lately, helping the Golden State Valkyries win 8 of their last 10 games. With her team scoring an impressive average of 89.2 points per game this season, it looks promising for her to reach over 9.5 points and assists. The Valkyries have faced tough competition, but Zandalasini's recent form suggests she can keep delivering. The only concern is that the Dallas Wings are also playing well, winning 7 of their last 10. Still, this matchup gives her a good chance to shine. 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.

Gabby Williams Under 3.5 Assists (+110)

Odds available at William Hill at time of publishing

Gabby Williams has been struggling with her assists lately, averaging under three in her recent games. The Golden State Valkyries are on fire, winning eight of their last ten, but Williams is still facing a tough matchup against the Dallas Wings, who have also been winning. Both teams have strong defenses, and with the Valkyries playing at home, they might focus more on scoring than setting up assists. There's a real chance Williams could get stuck under 3.5 assists since she hasn't been hitting that mark often. It's a risk, but the odds are appealing for this bet. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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.

Jessica Shepard Over 15.5 Rebounds and Assists (+110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

The Golden State Valkyries have been on fire, winning 8 of their last 10 games and 5 of the last 6, showing they know how to score and assist. Jessica Shepard is a big part of that success as the Valkyries face off against the Dallas Wings, who have also been strong, winning 7 of their last 10. With both teams playing well, Shepard should have plenty of chances to rack up rebounds and assists. The risk here is that the matchup is very close, so it could go either way. Still, the chances of hitting over 15.5 look good! 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 has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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.
