Toronto Tempo +25.5 on the Line (-769)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

As the Golden State Valkyries host the Toronto Tempo at the Chase Center, we're in for a matchup that promises intensity and strategic play. The Valkyries thrive on a fast-paced offense, but the Tempo, with their relentless defense, will look to disrupt that rhythm. Given our model's projection showing a razor-thin margin of just 1.8 points favoring the Valkyries, it's clear this game could swing either way. With the point spread sitting at a generous 25.5 for Toronto, it's a fascinating opportunity. The Tempo's ability to adapt, coupled with their strong perimeter shooting, could see them not only keeping pace but potentially outgunning the Valkyries in critical moments. Their defensive prowess might just stifle Golden State's scoring, allowing for a tighter game than many expect. Betting on Toronto to cover that spread seems like a prudent wager in what promises to be a nail-biter. It was priced at -769 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $11.30 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. 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. Our model likes this one a lot. 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 175.5 Total Points (-189)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

As the Golden State Valkyries host the Toronto Tempo at the Chase Center, expect a clash of contrasting styles that could stifle scoring. Both teams have shown a tendency to prioritize defense, with the Valkyries ranking among the top in limiting opponent field goal percentage. Meanwhile, Toronto's offense has struggled to find consistency, often bogged down in half-court sets. Pace will play a crucial role in this matchup; both squads seem content to grind out possessions rather than race up and down the floor. Our model projects a combined total of around 166.9 points, suggesting that this game could very well be a defensive struggle. With both teams focused on locking down their opponents, taking the under on 175.5 points feels like a savvy move. It's a game where every bucket counts, and the scoreboard may not light up as brightly as one might expect. It was priced at -189 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $15.30 if it lands. 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 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.
