Toronto Tempo +12 on the Line (-108)

Odds available at LowVig at time of publishing

Toronto Tempo has been struggling lately, and their recent form shows they need to bounce back. However, they are playing at home, which usually gives teams a little boost. The pick is for Toronto Tempo to lose by less than 12 points against the Indiana Fever. Our numbers suggest they have a good chance to keep it close, with a predicted final score difference of about 6 points. One thing to note is that the Fever have a slightly better winning percentage and have traveled less distance for this game. That could give them an advantage. Still, Toronto's home court is a factor, and they'll be eager to show up for their fans. This bet could definitely lose, but it seems like a solid chance for a close game. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 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. 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.

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.

Caitlin Clark Over 36.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-109)

Odds available at BetOnline at time of publishing

The odds for Caitlin Clark to score over 36.5 points, rebounds, and assists look promising. She's been in solid form, racking up an average of almost four three-pointers lately, which helps boost her overall stats. Plus, her recent plus-minus rating shows she's impactful on the court. However, one risk is that she's been making slightly fewer free throws than usual. Still, with her strong offensive skills, this bet has a good chance of hitting. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 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.

Makayla Timpson Under 17.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-109)

Odds available at BetOnline at time of publishing

The odds for Makayla Timpson to score under 17.5 points, rebounds, and assists look pretty fair at -106. Our numbers show she's been doing well lately, averaging about 12 points, which is above her usual. However, she's also been grabbing more offensive rebounds and making more free throws than normal, which could push her total up. Still, the matchup against the Indiana Fever is tricky. They are a solid team defensively, and Timpson's ability to make an impact may be limited. Plus, she has been averaging only a few steals and turnovers are down, meaning her chances to create extra opportunities might not be there. It's definitely a bit of a gamble, but the numbers suggest it's a good spot for this pick. 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.

Kelsey Mitchell Over 30.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-108)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Kelsey Mitchell has been playing really well lately, with a strong average of over 30 combined points, rebounds, and assists in recent games. She's been making about 5.2 free throws, which shows she's getting to the line often and being active. This matchup against the Indiana Fever gives her a good chance to keep that momentum going, especially since the pace of the game should be up. However, the risk is that both teams are closely matched, so the game could be tighter than expected. Still, with her recent form and the home crowd backing her at Coca-Cola Coliseum, betting on Kelsey to score over 30.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists seems like a solid option. 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.
