Connecticut Sun +13.5 on the Line (+110)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
For the Connecticut Sun to cover the spread, they need to keep the game within 13.5 points against the Atlanta Dream. The Sun have been competitive lately, and our numbers suggest they might lose by about 10 points, which is close enough to give them a good shot at covering the spread. The Sun also have a slight advantage in overall performance, despite the travel distance being a bit more than the Dream's. The main risk here is the Dream playing at home, where they can really feed off their crowd. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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. This one is priced as an outside chance. 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 170 Total Points (-110)

The total points line for the game between the Atlanta Dream and Connecticut Sun is set at 170, but our numbers suggest it should be lower, around 166.1. Both teams have been playing tightly contested games lately, and the close matchup means they might struggle to score high.
Travel could also play a factor, as the Sun have traveled quite a bit further than the Dream. With both teams being evenly matched and the potential for a lower-scoring game, this pick leans toward the under. Just remember, one big run from either team can always change things.
