Toronto Tempo +10.5 on the Line (+112)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

The Toronto Tempo have been struggling lately, but they're set to face the Indiana Fever, who have a tough travel schedule. Betting on Toronto to cover the spread of +10.5 looks promising since our numbers suggest they might only lose by about six points. The Fever have a slightly better win rate, but with the long trip and the Tempo at home, they could keep it closer than expected. One big risk is that the Fever have been showing better overall form. Still, this might be a good chance for Toronto to surprise. It was priced at +112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21.20 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. 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.

Under 204.5 Total Points (-417)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Toronto Tempo and Indiana Fever face off at Coca-Cola Coliseum, and both teams are struggling with scoring lately. Our numbers suggest a combined total of about 165 points, which is well below the line set for this game. The Tempo has a tough travel distance advantage, having played more recently, while the Fever's scoring has dipped significantly. The biggest risk is that these teams are closely matched in record, so surprises can happen. Still, we think the total will stay under 204.5 based on their current form. It was priced at -417 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.40 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. 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.

Aliyah Boston Over 16.5 Points (-110)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

Aliyah Boston has been really active lately, making a lot of free throws and grabbing steals, which shows she's playing well. We're betting on her to score over 16.5 points against the Indiana Fever. She's been consistent with her scoring and can take advantage of the Fever's defense. The matchup is pretty tight, so while she has a good chance to hit that point total, the Fever could put up a strong fight. It's a close call, but Boston's recent form makes this bet worth a shot. 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. 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.

Kelsey Mitchell Over 2.5 Assists (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Kelsey Mitchell has been showing some great playmaking lately, averaging over 5 assists in her recent games. This is well above the usual mark for her, and it looks like she's finding her teammates in the right spots to score. The Toronto Tempo's defense has been a bit shaky, which could give her plenty of chances to dish out assists. While the Indiana Fever has been improving, they still face a tough matchup against the Tempo. The potential risk here is that the game could be closer than expected, limiting scoring opportunities. Still, we feel good about Kelsey Mitchell going over 2.5 assists in this game. 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.

Makayla Timpson Under 8.5 Points (-108)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

You can get odds of -104 for Makayla Timpson to score under 8.5 points in the game against Indiana Fever. Our numbers show she's been scoring more than usual lately, averaging around 12 points in recent games. However, her current form isn't guaranteed, and there's a chance she could hit that number against a tough defense. One thing to keep in mind is that Timpson has been making fewer field goals and getting to the free-throw line less often than typical lately. This matchup is rated close to a coin flip, so it's wise to remember that it could go either way. If the Fever can keep up their defensive pressure, it might be a challenge for her to reach that 9-point mark. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 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 Toronto Tempo v Indiana Fever. 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.
