Toronto Tempo +23.5 on the Line (-526)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

As the Golden State Valkyries host the Toronto Tempo at Chase Center, this matchup promises to be a thrilling clash of styles. The Tempo, known for their fast-paced play, thrive on quick transitions and high-scoring opportunities. Given their ability to push the ball and stretch defenses, they can exploit the Valkyries' occasional lapses in communication and defensive rotations. With our model projecting a narrow final margin of about 2.7 points favoring the Valkyries, taking Toronto at an alternate spread of 23.5 feels enticing. The Tempo's offensive prowess can easily keep them within striking distance, especially if they capitalize on turnovers and push the tempo. Plus, the Valkyries' home-court advantage might not be as formidable as anticipated, with their defense facing a stern test. Expect a close contest where Toronto's explosive scoring could very well cover that spread, making this a savvy play for those looking to capitalize on the dynamics of this exciting encounter. It was priced at -526 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.90 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. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a clear 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.
