Toronto Tempo +19.5 on the Line (-227)
Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing
Toronto Tempo has been struggling lately but will look to bounce back at home. They are facing the Indiana Fever, who are also not in great form. With a strong favorite rating, betting on Toronto Tempo to stay within 19.5 points seems reasonable. Plus, the Tempo have the benefit of playing at home, which can help them keep the game close. One risk is that the Fever have better recent performance, making this a tricky matchup. It was priced at -227 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $14.40 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.
Under 199.5 Total Points (-370)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
At the Coca-Cola Coliseum, the Toronto Tempo are struggling, having won just 1 of their last 10 games and typically losing by over 12 points in their recent matchups. They don't do well at forcing turnovers either, managing to create them less often than their opponents. The Indiana Fever also have their own issues, allowing over 33 rebounds per game. With both teams not scoring much lately and our numbers predicting a combined total of around 165, betting on under 199.5 points seems smart. It was priced at -370 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.70 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.

Isabelle Harrison has been stepping up her game lately, and with Indiana Fever winning 7 of their last 10, she's in a good spot to score. The Fever have been strong, coming out ahead by about 6 points on average, while Toronto Tempo has struggled, losing most of their recent games and trailing by over 12 points in the last 12. This matchup is close, but Harrison might find opportunities to shine, especially since the Fever allow plenty of three-point attempts. The biggest risk is that both teams are pretty even in terms of scoring chances. 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.

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.
Caitlin Clark Over 32.5 Points and Assists (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The odds are set at -115 for Caitlin Clark to score over 32.5 points and assists. Our numbers see a good chance for this to happen, especially since she's been making about 3.8 three-pointers per game lately, which is a solid boost for her scoring. Plus, her recent play has her contributing a lot to the game, with a plus-minus of 4.8, meaning her presence really helps her team. The main risk here is that she's not getting many offensive rebounds, so she'll need to rely on her shots and assists to hit that mark. 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 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.
