Under 176.5 Total Points (+114)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Connecticut Sun have been struggling lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. They've also allowed opponents to take a lot of three-point shots, but they do a decent job of limiting rebounds. With the expected total points for this game sitting around 171.7, betting on under 176.5 seems like a solid choice, especially since our numbers rate this matchup as nearly even. The biggest risk is how close both teams are in recent performance, making any outcome possible. But with these factors in mind, this bet looks promising. It was priced at +114 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21.40 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. 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.

Connecticut Sun +24.5 on the Line (-294)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Indiana Fever have been struggling lately, and they might have a tough time against the Connecticut Sun. The Sun have only won 3 of their last 10 games, but they typically allow fewer rebounds than most teams, which could help them control the game. Since 2019, they've let opponents grab around 32 rebounds a game, while the Fever might struggle to take advantage of that. With the Sun at 24.5, it looks like a good chance for them to cover the spread, but it's worth noting that the Fever are at home and can always surprise. It was priced at -294 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.40 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. 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.

Aaliyah Edwards Over 12.5 Points (+110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

For Aaliyah Edwards to score over 12.5 points tonight, she needs to find her rhythm early against the Connecticut Sun. While the Sun have struggled recently, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, they also allow teams to shoot plenty of three-pointers and grab a decent number of rebounds. This means Edwards could get good opportunities to score, especially if her teammates create space for her. Edwards has been playing well, averaging more points than usual lately. The fact that the Sun give up around 32 rebounds a game could help her get extra chances for put-backs or assists leading to easy buckets. However, the close nature of this matchup means she could face some solid defense. Still, with her recent scoring form and the Sun's defensive issues, it looks promising for her to hit that over. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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.

Diamond Miller Under 13.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Diamond Miller has been playing well, but the matchup against the Connecticut Sun could be tricky. The Sun allow fewer rebounds than the league average, which doesn't help Miller's chances to rack up points and boards. Plus, Indiana Fever has won 6 of their last 10 games, showing they can score, but Miller might not get as many opportunities with the Sun's tough defense. The risk here is that both teams are playing closely, making it hard to predict how Miller will perform. With the Sun allowing fewer rebounds than most teams and Miller facing a tight game, betting on her to go under 13.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart choice. This matchup is close, but sometimes less is more! 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. 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.

Saniya Rivers Over 14.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

The Indiana Fever have been doing well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games, while the Connecticut Sun have struggled, winning only 3 of their last 10. Saniya Rivers has a good chance to shine with her scoring and playmaking ability. The Fever allow opponents to shoot plenty of threes and grab a decent number of rebounds, which could help Rivers rack up her points, rebounds, and assists. However, the close matchup means this bet is a risk, as both teams can be unpredictable. Overall, I feel confident about Rivers going over 14.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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.

That is how our model reads Indiana Fever v Connecticut Sun. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
