Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty
- Betting Lines: Las Vegas Aces +3.00, New York Liberty -3.00, Total 172.50
- Trend Analysis: The New York Liberty are favored by -3.00 at home against the Las Vegas Aces. The Liberty come in with a dominant overall 8-2 SU record (16.75% ML ROI) and an impressive 8-2 ATS record (52.69% ATS ROI). At home, their ATS record is 5-2 with a 37.44% ROI. The Aces, while strong overall (7-3 SU), have a less convincing 5-5 ATS record. However, when playing away, the Aces boast a 4-2 ATS record with a healthy 27.34% ROI, suggesting they perform well as road underdogs. The total is set at 172.50. The Liberty’s home games have trended Under (2-5 O/U), while the Aces’ away games are evenly split (3-3 O/U). Given the Liberty’s strong home ATS performance and the Aces’ ability to cover on the road, this spread might be tightly contested.
Dallas Wings vs. Seattle Storm
- Betting Lines: Dallas Wings -9.00, Seattle Storm +9.00, Total 165.50
- Trend Analysis: The Dallas Wings are substantial favorites at -9.00 on the road against the Seattle Storm. The Wings have been strong overall (7-3 SU, 7-3 ATS, 32.06% ATS ROI). Their away ATS record is a decent 3-2 with a 13.75% ROI. The Seattle Storm have struggled immensely with an overall 0-10 SU record (-100.00% ML ROI) and a 3-7 ATS record. However, remarkably, at home, the Storm have a 3-1 ATS record with a very strong 42.19% ROI, despite being 0-4 SU. This suggests they often keep games closer than expected in front of their home crowd. The total is 165.50. The Storm’s home games have trended Under (1-3 O/U), while the Wings’ away games are 3-2 O/U. The Storm’s surprising home ATS trend against a large spread makes them an interesting underdog bet.
Phoenix Mercury vs. Indiana Fever
- Betting Lines: Phoenix Mercury +6.50, Indiana Fever -6.50, Total 176.00
- Trend Analysis: The Indiana Fever are favored by -6.50 at home against the Phoenix Mercury. The Mercury have struggled significantly, with an overall 3-7 SU and 3-7 ATS record (-41.86% ATS ROI). On the road, they are 2-4 ATS with a -35.64% ROI. The Fever have an overall 5-5 SU record but are 4-6 ATS. At home, the Fever are 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS, with a -5.53% ATS ROI, indicating inconsistent covering ability even in wins. The total is set at 176.00. The Mercury’s away games have heavily trended Under (1-5 O/U), while the Fever’s home games have trended Over (3-1 O/U). This game presents a clash of O/U trends. The Mercury’s poor ATS performance makes covering a +6.5 spread difficult, even against an inconsistent Fever team.
Toronto Tempo vs. Atlanta Dream
- Betting Lines: Toronto Tempo +13.50, Atlanta Dream -13.50, Total 177.00
- Trend Analysis: The Atlanta Dream are significant favorites at -13.50 against the Toronto Tempo. The Dream are performing exceptionally well, with an overall 7-3 SU and 7-3 ATS record (35.22% ATS ROI). Their home performance is even stronger, at 3-1 SU and 3-1 ATS with a 46.05% ATS ROI. The Toronto Tempo have an overall 4-6 ATS record with a -24.03% ROI, and an away ATS record of 2-3 with a -23.64% ROI. The total for this game is 177.00. Both teams show a strong propensity for high-scoring games: the Dream’s home O/U is 4-0, and the Tempo’s away O/U is 4-1. Given the Dream’s dominant ATS form at home and both teams’ strong Over trends, the spread looks challenging for Tempo, and the Over could be a strong consideration.
Chicago Sky vs. Connecticut Sun
- Betting Lines: Chicago Sky -3.50, Connecticut Sun +3.50, Total 167.00
- Trend Analysis: The Chicago Sky are favored by -3.50 on the road against the Connecticut Sun. Both teams are in poor form. The Sky are 1-9 SU overall with a dismal 2-8 ATS record (-62.21% ATS ROI). Their away performance is even worse, at 0-4 SU and 0-4 ATS with a -100.00% ATS ROI. The Sun also have an overall 1-9 SU record and a 2-8 ATS record (-61.39% ATS ROI). At home, they are 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS, showing only slightly better results. The total is 167.00. Both teams have strong overall Over trends (Sky 6-4 O/U, Sun 7-3 O/U). The Sky’s inability to cover spreads on the road, even as a small favorite, makes the Sun +3.5 an intriguing play, despite the Sun’s own struggles.
New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks
- Betting Lines: New York Liberty -5.50, Los Angeles Sparks +5.50, Total 180.50
- Trend Analysis: The New York Liberty are favored by -5.50 on the road against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Liberty are red-hot, with an overall 8-2 SU and 8-2 ATS record (52.69% ATS ROI). Their away performance is particularly impressive, with a perfect 3-0 SU, 3-0 ATS, and 3-0 O/U record, generating an 88.27% ATS ROI. The Sparks have an overall 5-5 SU and 5-5 ATS record but struggle significantly at home, where they are 1-3 SU and 1-3 ATS with a -52.27% ATS ROI. The total is high at 180.50. The Liberty’s away games have consistently gone Over (3-0 O/U). Given the Liberty’s dominant road ATS and O/U trends, and the Sparks’ home struggles, the Liberty covering the spread and the Over hitting seem like strong possibilities.
Washington Mystics vs. Minnesota Lynx
- Betting Lines: Washington Mystics +14.50, Minnesota Lynx -14.50, Total 169.50
- Trend Analysis: The Minnesota Lynx are massive favorites at -14.50 against the Washington Mystics. The Lynx are a powerhouse, with an overall 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS record (51.83% ATS ROI). At home, they are undefeated (5-0 SU) and consistently cover (4-1 ATS, 51.15% ATS ROI). The Mystics have a 5-5 SU record but are 4-6 ATS overall and 2-4 ATS on the road with a -37.02% ROI. The total is 169.50. Both teams lean towards the Over; the Lynx’s home O/U is 4-1, and the Mystics’ away O/U is 4-2. The Lynx’s exceptional home ATS record against the Mystics’ poor road ATS performance suggests the Lynx are well-positioned to cover this significant spread, and the Over is also a strong trend for both teams.
Golden State Valkyries vs. Las Vegas Aces
- Betting Lines: Golden State Valkyries +4.50, Las Vegas Aces -4.50, Total 166.50
- Trend Analysis: The Las Vegas Aces are favored by -4.50 at home against the Golden State Valkyries. The Aces have a strong overall 7-3 SU record but are only 5-5 ATS. Crucially, at home, the Aces have a positive SU record (3-1) but a poor ATS record (1-3, -52.27% ATS ROI), indicating they often win but do not cover large spreads at home. The Valkyries have a 6-4 SU record but are 4-6 ATS overall and 1-2 ATS on the road with a -36.36% ROI. The total is 166.50. The Aces’ home games have trended Over (3-1 O/U), while the Valkyries’ away games are 1-2 O/U. Given the Aces’ home ATS struggles, the Valkyries might offer value as a +4.5 underdog, assuming they can keep the game within the margin.
