Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty
- Spread: New York Liberty -3.50, Las Vegas Aces +3.50
- Total: 171.50
The New York Liberty are favored by 3.5 points at home against the Las Vegas Aces. Looking at the trends, the Liberty are an absolute force against the spread (ATS) overall with an 8-2 record and an impressive 52.69% ATS ROI. Their home ATS record is equally strong at 5-2 with a 37.44% ROI, indicating they consistently cover lines when playing in front of their home crowd. The Aces, while 4-2 ATS on the road with a 27.34% ROI, face a tough challenge in New York. For the total of 171.50, the Aces’ overall trend leans Over (6-4), but the Liberty have a strong lean to the Under, particularly at home (1-6 OU). This suggests a potential conflict, but the Liberty’s dominant home Under trend could be a significant factor.
Chicago Sky vs. Dallas Wings
- Spread: Dallas Wings -9.50, Chicago Sky +9.50
- Total: 171.50
The Dallas Wings are significant favorites at -9.50 against the Chicago Sky. The trends heavily favor Dallas. Their overall ATS record is 7-3 with a 32.06% ROI, and they are perfect 4-0 ATS at home with an outstanding 87.94% ROI. This suggests the Wings are highly reliable when covering large spreads at home. The Sky, on the other hand, are struggling immensely, with an overall ATS record of 2-8 (-62.21% ROI) and a dismal 0-3 ATS record on the road (-100.00% ROI). For the total of 171.50, the Sky’s overall trend leans Over (6-4), while the Wings are 4-6 overall to the Under. At home, the Wings are 1-3 OU, which, combined with their defensive capabilities, might pull the game Under despite the Sky’s tendency to hit the Over.
Seattle Storm vs. Phoenix Mercury
- Spread: Phoenix Mercury -7.50, Seattle Storm +7.50
- Total: 162.50
The Phoenix Mercury are 7.5-point favorites against the Seattle Storm. Both teams have struggled ATS recently. The Mercury’s overall ATS record is 2-8 (-61.39% ROI), and they are 0-3 ATS at home (-100.00% ROI). This indicates a significant issue with covering spreads, especially at home. The Storm are also poor ATS, with an overall 4-6 record and a perfect 0-5 ATS record on the road (-100.00% ROI). Given both teams’ inability to cover, this spread of -7.5 for Phoenix looks particularly challenging for the Mercury based on their home ATS trends. The total is set at 162.50. Both teams’ overall trends lean Under (Storm 4-6 OU, Mercury 3-7 OU). The Mercury’s home games also lean Over (2-1 OU), while the Storm’s away games lean Under (2-3 OU). The strong overall Under trends from both teams suggest the game could stay below the total.
Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream
- Spread: Atlanta Dream -5.50, Indiana Fever +5.50
- Total: 174.50
The Atlanta Dream are favored by 5.5 points at home against the Indiana Fever. The Dream’s overall ATS record is 6-4 with a 15.41% ROI, suggesting they are a profitable ATS bet. At home, their ATS record is 2-2, which is neutral, with a -3.46% ROI. The Fever have an even 5-5 overall ATS record but are 2-3 ATS on the road with a -22.21% ROI. This suggests the Dream are the slightly better ATS play, but their home ATS performance isn’t overwhelmingly dominant. For the total of 174.50, both teams lean Over overall (Fever 6-4 OU, Dream 6-4 OU). The Fever’s home games have gone Over 4-1, and the Dream’s home games are 3-1 Over. This strong combined tendency towards high-scoring games makes the Over an attractive prospect for this matchup.
Minnesota Lynx vs. Golden State Valkyries
- Spread: Minnesota Lynx -2.50, Golden State Valkyries +2.50
- Total: 164.00
The Minnesota Lynx are favored by 2.5 points on the road against the Golden State Valkyries. The Lynx are a fantastic ATS team, boasting an 8-2 overall record with a 52.66% ROI, and an equally impressive 4-1 ATS record on the road with a 54.18% ROI. This indicates strong value in betting on the Lynx to cover. The Valkyries, conversely, have an even 5-5 overall ATS record but are 4-3 ATS at home with a 9.20% ROI. While the Valkyries perform reasonably well at home ATS, they are up against a dominant Lynx team. For the total of 164.00, both teams lean Over overall (Lynx 7-3 OU, Valkyries 7-3 OU). The Lynx are 3-2 OU on the road, and the Valkyries are 6-1 OU at home. This overwhelming trend from both sides strongly points towards this game going Over the total.
Toronto Tempo vs. Connecticut Sun
- Spread: Toronto Tempo -2.50, Connecticut Sun +2.50
- Total: 168.00
The Toronto Tempo are 2.5-point favorites on the road against the Connecticut Sun. The Tempo have struggled ATS, with an overall 3-7 record (-43.12% ROI) and a particularly poor 1-4 ATS record on the road (-61.82% ROI). The Sun are in a similar ATS slump, with an overall 2-8 record (-61.39% ROI) and a 2-2 ATS record at home. However, it’s worth noting their away ATS record is 0-6. Given the Tempo’s struggles to cover on the road, the Sun catching 2.5 points at home might be appealing despite their overall poor performance. For the total of 168.00, both teams show a trend towards the Over overall (Tempo 6-4 OU, Sun 6-4 OU). The Tempo are 3-2 OU on the road, and the Sun are 2-2 OU at home. These trends suggest a likelihood of the game surpassing the total.
Washington Mystics vs. New York Liberty
- Spread: New York Liberty -12.50, Washington Mystics +12.50
- Total: 167.50
The New York Liberty are massive 12.5-point favorites at home against the Washington Mystics. As highlighted in the earlier game, the Liberty are an elite ATS team, with an 8-2 overall record (52.69% ROI) and a 5-2 home ATS record (37.44% ROI). They consistently cover spreads, even large ones. The Mystics, in contrast, have a 4-6 overall ATS record (-25.04% ROI) and a 2-4 ATS record on the road (-37.02% ROI). They struggle to cover, especially away from home. This matchup strongly aligns with the Liberty covering the large spread. For the total of 167.50, the Liberty’s overall trend leans Under (4-6), with a pronounced 1-6 Under trend at home. The Mystics are 5-5 overall OU and 3-3 OU on the road. The Liberty’s strong home Under trend is the more influential factor here, suggesting the game will stay Under the total despite the high spread.
