Under 175.5 Total Points (+110)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The odds are offering a good chance on the total points being under 175.5 for the game between the Indiana Fever and the Washington Mystics. Both teams have shown solid defensive play lately, and our numbers suggest they might combine for around 169.9 points. The Fever have won 7 of their last 10 games and are playing well, averaging 6.3 points more than their opponents in recent matchups. However, the Mystics are not far behind, winning 6 of their last 10 and averaging 4.6 points ahead. The close competition could lead to a lower score than expected. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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 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.
Indiana Fever to Win (-213)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Indiana Fever are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games and coming out ahead by an average of 6.3 points in the last 12 we've looked at. They have a solid home court advantage at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which can make a big difference. The Fever also tend to limit their opponents' three-point shots, which could be key against the Mystics. The Washington Mystics have also been doing well with 6 wins in their last 10 games, but they only come out ahead by 4.6 points per game over the same stretch. Both teams allow similar three-point attempts, but with the Fever playing at home and their recent form, they look like the stronger pick here. The biggest risk is that the Mystics have been competitive too, making this a close matchup. It was priced at -213 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $14.70 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a clear 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.
Indiana Fever +1.5 on the Line (-256)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The Indiana Fever are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games and outscoring teams by an average of over 6 points recently. They've been strong at home, and they're up against the Washington Mystics, who have also won 6 of their last 10 but only come out 4.6 points ahead in their recent games. With the Fever allowing a similar number of three-point attempts as the Mystics, this matchup feels tight. However, the Fever's recent form gives them a good chance to cover the spread. The Mystics could make this close, so it's not a sure thing. It was priced at -256 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.90 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. 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.
Kiki Iriafen Under 9.5 Rebounds (+110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Indiana Fever are on a nice run, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They've been good at grabbing boards too, allowing opponents to shoot a lot of threes, which can sometimes lead to fewer rebounding chances. Kiki Iriafen, on the Fever, might find it tougher with the Mystics also allowing a decent number of three-point shots. Betting on Kiki to grab under 9.5 rebounds seems reasonable here. The game is rated like a coin flip, meaning it could really go either way. The biggest risk is how close the two teams are in rebounding stats, making it hard to predict exactly how many boards she'll pull down tonight. 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.
Sonia Citron Under 21.5 Points and Assists (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Sonia Citron has been playing well lately, but she might struggle to hit the mark in this matchup. Both teams have been solid, with Indiana Fever winning 7 of their last 10 games and coming out ahead by over 6 points on average. However, Citron's scoring and assisting could be limited, especially since opponents have been allowed to shoot a lot of threes, and both teams have similar defensive stats. The biggest risk with this pick is how closely matched these teams are. The Washington Mystics have also won 6 of their last 10 and have been tough on defense. With both teams allowing similar three-point attempts, it could be a challenge for Citron to rack up the points and assists needed to go over 21.5. Still, our numbers suggest a good chance for the under. 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.
Caitlin Clark Under 13.5 Rebounds and Assists (-109)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Caitlin Clark from the Indiana Fever is facing off against the Washington Mystics, and she's been having a good run lately. However, both teams have been letting their opponents shoot a lot of three-pointers, which can mean fewer chances for rebounds and assists. Indiana has won seven of their last ten games and has been solid overall, but Clark's numbers suggest she might not hit the mark on this bet. This pick is for under 13.5 rebounds and assists combined. The matchup is pretty close, and while Clark has been strong, the Mystics' defense might limit her opportunities. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are allowing similar amounts of three-point attempts, which can lead to fewer rebounds. It's a bit of a toss-up, but this could be a smart bet based on how things have been going. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 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.
That is how our model reads Indiana Fever v Washington Mystics. 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.
