Golden State Valkyries vs. Phoenix Mercury
The Golden State Valkyries enter this matchup as a strong favorite with a spread of -5.50 and a total set at 156.00. The Valkyries show exceptional form, boasting an overall Against The Spread (ATS) record of 8-2 (53.01% ROI) and a dominant Moneyline (ML) record of 9-1 (61.69% ROI) in their last ten games. Their away performance is even more impressive, going 5-0 ATS (91.41% ROI) and 5-0 ML (73.38% ROI). Regarding totals, Golden State trends heavily towards the Under, with an overall Over/Under (OU) record of 2-8 and an away OU record of 1-4.
Conversely, the Phoenix Mercury are listed as the 5.50-point underdog at home. Their overall ATS record stands at a losing 4-6 (-24.39% ROI), with their home ATS performance also struggling at 2-3 (-23.64% ROI). Their Moneyline trends are more balanced overall (5-5, 20.27% ROI), but at home, they have a losing 2-3 ML record (-37.46% ROI). The Mercury also show a slight lean to the Under with an overall OU record of 4-6 and a home OU record of 2-3. The lines reflect Golden State’s dominant recent form, particularly their strong ATS and straight-up performance, while the low total aligns with both teams’ Under tendencies.
Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings
The Dallas Wings are slight favorites at -1.50 against the Atlanta Dream, with the game total set at 179.50. Atlanta’s recent trends are concerning, with a very poor overall ATS record of 2-8 (-61.39% ROI) and an overall ML record of 4-6 (-51.89% ROI). Their away performance mirrors these struggles, at 2-3 ATS (-22.77% ROI) and a dismal 1-4 ML (-75.29% ROI). They do show a slight overall lean to the Over with a 6-4 OU record, but their away OU is 2-3.
Dallas, despite being the favorite, presents a mixed bag of trends. Overall, they have a profitable 6-4 ATS record (14.19% ROI) and a winning 7-3 ML record (3.80% ROI), with an even 5-5 OU record. However, their home trends are notably weaker, with a poor 1-3 ATS record (-52.27% ROI) and an even 2-2 ML record (-38.89% ROI). The tight spread of -1.50 indicates a closely contested game, perhaps influenced by Dallas’s strong overall trends being somewhat mitigated by their less impressive home ATS performance against Atlanta’s overall struggles.
Portland Fire vs. Las Vegas Aces
The Las Vegas Aces are heavy favorites at -11.50 against the Portland Fire, with a total of 179.50. Portland’s trends indicate a struggling team, with an overall ATS record of 4-6 (-22.77% ROI) and an away ATS record of 2-6 (-51.19% ROI). While their ML ROI is surprisingly positive despite losing records, their straight-up wins are infrequent (3-7 overall, 3-5 away). Critically, Portland trends strongly to the Over, with an overall OU record of 7-3 and an away OU record of 6-2.
Las Vegas, on the other hand, shows strong performance with an excellent overall ATS record of 7-3 (31.47% ROI) and a winning 6-4 ML record. At home, they maintain a profitable 3-2 ATS record (12.96% ROI) and a winning 3-2 ML record. Like Portland, the Aces also trend heavily towards the Over, posting an overall OU record of 7-3 and a home OU record of 3-2. The large spread reflects the Aces’ consistent ATS success and Portland’s difficulties, while the total is supported by both teams’ strong propensity for higher-scoring games.
New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks
The New York Liberty are favored by -4.50 against the Los Angeles Sparks, with a high total of 183.50. New York has struggled ATS recently, with an overall 4-6 ATS record (-24.03% ROI) and an away ATS record of 2-4 (-37.02% ROI). Their ML records are also losing (4-6 overall, 1-5 away). However, they have a very strong tendency towards the Over, with an 8-2 overall OU record and a 5-1 away OU record.
The Los Angeles Sparks enter this game with significant struggles, reflected in their overall ATS record of 2-8 (-62.83% ROI) and ML record of 2-8 (-52.50% ROI). Their home performance is slightly better but still not dominant, with an even 2-2 ATS record (-7.07% ROI) and a 2-2 ML record (18.75% ROI). They lean to the Over with a 6-4 overall OU record, and an even 2-2 home OU record. The spread favors the Liberty as the generally stronger team, despite their own ATS struggles. The high total is well-supported by both teams’ strong Over trends, particularly New York’s.
Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm
Indiana Fever are significant favorites at -8.50 against the Seattle Storm, with a total of 184.50. The Fever come in hot, with a profitable overall ATS record of 6-4 (16.12% ROI) and a winning 7-3 ML record (26.03% ROI). Their away performance is even more impressive, going 3-1 ATS (44.26% ROI) and 3-1 ML (68.75% ROI). Indiana also has a very strong lean to the Over, with an 8-2 overall OU record and a 3-1 away OU record.
The Seattle Storm have generally struggled, holding a losing 4-6 overall ATS record (-24.03% ROI) and a very poor 2-8 ML record (-36.50% ROI). Interestingly, their home ATS record is strong at 3-1 (43.18% ROI), but their home ML record is still losing at 1-3. Overall, Seattle’s totals are even at 5-5 OU. The spread heavily favors Indiana, aligning with their excellent form both ATS and straight-up, especially on the road. The high total is largely driven by Indiana’s pronounced Over tendencies, while Seattle’s home ATS strength against a larger spread is a notable contrarian indicator.
Toronto Tempo vs. Minnesota Lynx
The Minnesota Lynx are massive favorites at -14.50 against the Toronto Tempo, with a total set at 184.50. Toronto’s recent performance is weak, with an overall ATS record of 3-7 (-42.69% ROI) and a very poor 2-8 ML record (-46.50% ROI). Their limited away data (0-1 ATS, 0-1 ML) also suggests struggles. Toronto leans to the Over with a 6-4 overall OU record.
Minnesota boasts an excellent overall ML record of 8-2 (2.05% ROI) but an even 5-5 ATS record (-4.94% ROI). Their home ATS record is notably poor at 1-4 (-62.61% ROI), despite a winning 4-1 home ML record. The Lynx are a strong Over team, with an 8-2 overall OU record and a perfect 5-0 home OU record. The extremely large spread reflects Toronto’s overall struggles and Minnesota’s strong straight-up performance. However, Minnesota’s poor home ATS record against such a large line, contrasted with their strong SU wins, is a key trend to consider. The total is very high, consistent with both teams’ and especially Minnesota’s strong Over tendencies.
Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics
The Washington Mystics are favored by -6.00 against the Connecticut Sun, with a game total of 158.00. Connecticut has a profitable overall ATS record of 6-4 (14.19% ROI) and an even 5-5 ML record with significant ROI (51.64%). However, their away ATS record is a poor 1-3 (-53.26% ROI). They are even on overall totals (5-5 OU) but lean to the Over on the road (3-1 OU).
Washington struggles ATS with an overall 3-7 ATS record (-42.80% ROI) and a home ATS record of 2-4 (-35.83% ROI). Despite this, they have a strong winning overall ML record of 6-4 (56.39% ROI) and an even stronger 4-2 home ML record (62.32% ROI). They tend to go Under, with an overall OU record of 4-6, and are even on home totals (3-3 OU). The spread favors Washington based on their winning record, despite their struggles covering the spread. The low total is generally aligned with Washington’s Under lean, although Connecticut’s away Over trend presents a counterpoint.
