Veronica Burton Under 21.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Veronica Burton has been in decent form lately, but she faces a tough matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. They've been winning a lot, taking 8 of their last 10 games and scoring well, which means they're playing strong defense too. Burton's chances to rack up points and assists might be limited, especially since the Valkyries allow fewer three-point attempts than most teams. The risk here is that Burton can be inconsistent, especially when facing a team that forces tough shots. With the Valkyries allowing fewer scoring opportunities, betting on her to have under 21.5 points and assists seems like a good pick. It's not a sure thing, but the numbers look good for this bet. 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.

Cecilia Zandalasini Under 11.5 Points (-116)

The odds for Cecilia Zandalasini to score under 11.5 points look solid. The Golden State Valkyries have been on fire, winning 8 of their last 10 games and averaging a big lead of over 10 points in their recent matchups. Zandalasini's recent performance suggests she might struggle, as she's typically getting fewer points than expected and faces a tough Portland Fire defense that forces turnovers well. The Portland Fire are known for making it hard for opponents to get into a rhythm, and they have a strong overall record, winning 5 of their last 10. Zandalasini will have to contend with this pressure, which could limit her scoring. With these factors in mind, there's a reasonable chance she might stay under that points total today. It was priced at -116 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.60 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.
