Toronto Tempo +12.5 on the Line (-112)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The Toronto Tempo have been struggling a bit, but they still have a good shot against the Indiana Fever. They are playing at home, which usually gives teams a boost. Our numbers suggest Toronto could lose, but only by about six points, making the +12.5 spread look appealing. The Fever have a slightly better record, but the gap isn't huge, and they've had to travel quite a distance to get here. That journey can wear out a team, especially if they've been on the road for a while. The biggest risk here is that both teams are pretty close, so it could go either way. But with that spread, I think Toronto can keep it tight. It was priced at -112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.90 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. 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 202.5 Total Points (-400)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
At the Coca-Cola Coliseum, the Toronto Tempo is facing the Indiana Fever. Both teams have struggled lately, and our numbers suggest they might not score a lot, with an expected total of around 165 points. The Tempo has a tough time on offense, and with a big travel distance for the Fever, they might be a bit worn out. Given how close these teams are in terms of win percentage, this game could end up being low-scoring. So, betting on under 202.5 points feels like a smart choice. Just keep in mind, these games can be surprising! It was priced at -400 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.50 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.

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 -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.

Aliyah Boston has been showing some impressive skills lately. She's been getting to the free-throw line more often, making four free throws in her last few games when the average is just over two. Plus, she's been active on defense, racking up about two and a half steals in those same games, which shows she's really involved. Betting on her to score over 16.5 points looks solid, especially since the game against Indiana Fever is rated close to a coin flip. However, it's worth noting that both teams are evenly matched, which means it could get tight. If Boston gets into foul trouble or if the Fever play strong defense, things could get tricky for this pick. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 if it lands.

Caitlin Clark Over 27.5 Points and Rebounds (-109)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Betting on Caitlin Clark to score over 27.5 points and rebounds is looking promising at these odds. Our numbers show she's been in solid form, making about 3.8 three-pointers recently, which helps boost her overall score. Plus, her plus-minus rating of 4.8 suggests she's contributing a lot to her team's play. One concern is that she's only been getting around 0 offensive rebounds lately, which makes it a little tough to hit those combined totals. Still, with her scoring ability, she has a good chance to get over that mark. 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.
