Toronto Tempo +26.5 on the Line (-714)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
As the Golden State Valkyries gear up to host the Toronto Tempo at the Chase Center, this matchup is ripe for intrigue. Both teams lean into a high-octane style, with the Tempo showcasing a potent offense that thrives on pace and transition buckets. Given the Valkyries' relatively porous defense, we can expect Toronto to exploit those gaps and find scoring opportunities aplenty. Our projections suggest a close battle, with a margin hovering around 1.8 points in favor of the Valkyries. However, with the Tempo's ability to stretch defenses and a superior transition game, they're well-positioned to cover that alternate point spread of 26.5. The Valkyries may hold home-court advantage, but Toronto's dynamic play could just tip the scales. Expect a thrilling contest where the Tempo's offensive firepower ultimately makes a decisive impact. It was priced at -714 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.40 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.
Under 173 Total Points (-154)

As the Golden State Valkyries welcome the Toronto Tempo to the Chase Center, we're poised for a clash that may not light up the scoreboard. Both teams have shown a penchant for deliberate play, often slowing the pace to control the flow of the game. The Valkyries thrive on their defensive tenacity, while the Tempo aren't exactly known for their offensive fireworks either. When you factor in their recent matchups, it becomes clear that scoring has been at a premium, with both squads struggling to find the rhythm needed to break the 173-point mark. The model projects a combined total closer to 167, aligning with the trend of lower-scoring affairs. Expect this one to be a gritty battle, with defense taking center stage over the offensive fireworks. Betting the under feels like a savvy play in what promises to be a tactical showdown. It was priced at -154 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.50 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it.
