Sonia Citron Under 19.5 Points and Rebounds (-102)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

When the Washington Mystics host the Dallas Wings, all eyes will be on Sonia Citron as she aims to make an impact. However, with our model projecting her for around 14.6 points and rebounds combined, betting the under on 19.5 feels like a savvy move. The Wings' defense has been surprisingly stout, especially when it comes to limiting contributions from role players, which puts Citron in a tough spot. With the Mystics likely leaning on their stars, Citron may find herself sharing the spotlight rather than shining. Additionally, the pace of play in this matchup could limit possessions, reducing the opportunities for her to rack up stats. All things considered, the trends suggest a quieter night for Citron, making the under a compelling option as the Mystics look to solidify their playoff positioning. Keep an eye on the flow of the game; it might just play out in our favor. It was priced at -102 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.80 if it lands. 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.

Kiki Iriafen Under 9.5 Rebounds (-112)

Odds available at William Hill at time of publishing

As the Washington Mystics prepare to face the Dallas Wings at the CareFirst Arena, all eyes will be on Kiki Iriafen and her rebounding prowess. While she's shown flashes of brilliance this season, the matchup suggests she may fall short of the 9.5 mark. With the Wings boasting a strong frontcourt, they've been able to box out effectively, limiting opponents' second-chance opportunities. Furthermore, the Mystics tend to spread the floor, which can pull Iriafen away from the paint, decreasing her chances of grabbing those crucial boards. Our projection aligns with this narrative, estimating her closer to 7.4 rebounds. Given the defensive schemes in play and how both teams are trending, it's reasonable to lean toward the under here. Expect a competitive battle, but don't be surprised if Kiki finds herself just shy of that 9.5 threshold. It was priced at -112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.90 if it lands. 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.

That is how our model reads Washington Mystics v Dallas Wings. 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.
