Dallas Wings +7 on the Line (-110)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The Dallas Wings and Golden State Valkyries both come into this game hot, each winning five of their last six matches. The Wings are scoring a solid 89.1 points per game, while the Valkyries are putting up 82.3. This matchup is tight, and the Wings have a decent shot to keep it close, especially since our numbers suggest the final margin could be just a couple of points. Taking the Wings with a 7-point cushion is a smart move. With both teams having similar recent success, it's possible that the Wings could surprise us and keep the game within that spread. The biggest risk is that the Valkyries are playing at home, which can give them an advantage. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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. 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.

Jessica Shepard has been a key player for the Golden State Valkyries, contributing significantly to their scoring and rebounding. She's been part of a strong team that has won 5 of their last 6 games, and they score an impressive 82.3 points per game. The Dallas Wings also come in hot, winning 5 of their last 6, and they score even more at 89.1 points a game. This matchup is tight, which is why the bet on Shepard getting over 24.5 points and rebounds feels like a good chance. Just keep in mind that both teams are playing really well, so it could be a close one. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands.

Cecilia Zandalasini has been a key player for the Golden State Valkyries, especially as they score over 82 points a game. She's been getting plenty of opportunities to rack up points and assists, which makes this bet for over 9.5 a solid choice. The Valkyries are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games and 5 of their last 6, so they should keep the momentum going at home. However, the Dallas Wings are also in good form, winning 7 of their last 10 and scoring an impressive 89 points a game. Both teams are playing well, but with Zandalasini's current scoring chances, she has a good shot at hitting that mark. Just keep in mind that the Wings can put up a fight, so it won't be easy.
