Under 162.5 Total Points (+110)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Washington Mystics have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring an average of 84 points. The Atlanta Dream are also hot, winning 9 of their last 10, but they faced a tougher schedule than the Mystics. With both teams playing well, this game could still see fewer points. Our numbers suggest a combined total closer to 156, so betting on under 162.5 points makes sense. The main risk is that both teams could surprise us and score higher than expected. 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.

Washington Mystics +4.5 on the Line (-120)

The Washington Mystics have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive average of 84 points. They're playing at home, which often gives a nice boost. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream are also strong, winning 9 of their last 10, but they've faced tougher opponents. This matchup is really close, and our numbers suggest it could go either way. The biggest risk is that the Mystics are projected to lose by a small margin, but they've been playing well enough to keep it tight. Taking Washington Mystics +4.5 looks promising. It was priced at -120 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.30 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. 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.

Angel Reese Over 15.5 Points (+110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

For Angel Reese to score over 15.5 points tonight, she needs to find her rhythm early against the Atlanta Dream. She's been strong at night, averaging 19.1 points in her last ten games. Playing at home, the Mystics have been scoring well, and Reese has the ability to capitalize on that energy. Both teams are in good form, with the Dream winning nine of their last ten games, but their schedule has been tougher than the Mystics'. That said, the competition could make it a close game. If Atlanta manages to keep things tight, it might limit Reese's scoring chances. Still, with her recent performance, there's a good chance she can push past that mark. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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.

Kiki Iriafen Under 10.5 Rebounds and Assists (+110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

For this bet to work, Kiki Iriafen needs to grab fewer than 10 rebounds and assists combined. Both the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream have been on a roll lately, with each team winning 5 of their last 6 games. However, the Mystics have a strong scoring average of 84 points a game this season, which could limit Iriafen's playtime and opportunities to rack up stats. The risk here is that both teams have been playing well, making it hard to predict how the game will unfold. Iriafen has been solid, but with both teams fighting for a win and not needing to rely on her as much, there's a good chance she'll stay under that 10.5 mark. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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.
