Toronto Tempo +17.5 on the Line (-185)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

The Toronto Tempo have been struggling lately, but they are still expected to keep things closer against the Indiana Fever. Betting on the Tempo to lose by less than 17.5 points seems like a solid move since our numbers suggest they could be only about 6 points behind in the end. Just keep in mind that the Fever could surprise, but Toronto might surprise everyone by keeping it tight. It was priced at -185 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $15.40 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 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 201.5 Total Points (-400)

At the Coca-Cola Coliseum, the Toronto Tempo face off against the Indiana Fever. Our numbers suggest a total points score of about 165.6, which is well below the line set at 201.5. Both teams have struggled to find their scoring rhythm lately, and the Fever's recent form has not been great either. With a travel distance difference of over 2,300 kilometers, the Fever might be feeling the fatigue from their journey. While betting on the under looks strong, keep in mind that both teams can surprise you on any given night. 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.

Sophie Cunningham Under 5.5 Points (-111)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Sophie Cunningham has been struggling lately, and the Toronto Tempo have only won once in their last ten games. They're averaging a tough time on the court, coming in about 12 points behind in their recent matchups. This means Cunningham might not get the chances she needs to score. On the flip side, the Indiana Fever have been doing well, winning seven of their last ten games and coming out ahead by about 6 points. They allow a decent number of three-point attempts, but with Cunningham's recent form, the risk is real that she won't hit her scoring mark tonight. Taking the under on 5.5 points seems like a smart move given the matchup. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 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.

Lexie Hull Under 0.5 Three-Pointers Made (-109)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Lexie Hull has struggled lately, and the Toronto Tempo have not been in great form, winning just 1 of their last 10 games. They are consistently behind by a lot, averaging over 12 points less in their recent matches. On the other hand, the Indiana Fever are doing well, winning 7 of their last 10 games and coming out ahead by over 6 points in their last 12. Given these trends, betting on Lexie Hull to make under 0.5 three-pointers feels like a solid choice. The Tempo's tough times may limit their scoring opportunities, and Hull hasn't been finding her rhythm from behind the arc. The most concrete risk here is how close the teams are playing; a sudden change in momentum could swing things unexpectedly. 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.

Caitlin Clark Under 8.5 Assists (+107)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Caitlin Clark's assists line is set at under 8.5, and that's an interesting spot to consider. The Indiana Fever have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games and coming out ahead by 6.3 points on average in the last 12. In contrast, the Toronto Tempo have struggled, only winning 1 of their last 10 and falling behind by 12.2 points per game. This difference in form could mean the Fever are scoring efficiently, making it tougher for Clark to rack up assists. While Clark is a talented player, the Fever allow opponents to shoot a lot of threes, which may not lead to her finding open teammates as much. The biggest risk here is how close her assists have been to that line lately. With the Fever playing well and the Tempo struggling, this could end up being a tight game for Clark's passing numbers. It was priced at +107 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $20.70 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.

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.
