Dallas Wings vs. Atlanta Dream

• Paige Bueckers, Over 18.5 Points at -128

In the first game against the Dream, Bueckers was not as active as she has been since. In that game, she has a usage rate of 18.6%, tied for third-best on the team. But in the three games since, her usage rate has been the second highest on the team at 25.6

The Wings learned their lesson by not getting Bueckers more involved in the first game against Atlanta. They will not make the same mistake again. Atlanta will make her work for it, but this is a number she should be able to cover.

• Angel Reese, Over 13.5 Rebounds at -102

After blowing up with 14 and 16 rebounds in the first two games of the season, Angel Reese came back down to Earth with just nine against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. With time to analyze her game and rest since then, she’ll be ready to go against the Dream tonight.

For anyone else, this total would be ridiculous. But for Reece, it is perfectly fine. She’ll want to bounce back after a bad game against the Aces against a Dallas team she’s already dominated.

Golden State Valkyries vs. Indiana Fever

• Caitlin Clark, Over 8.5 Assists at +104

Clark has gone over this total in three of the four games she has played in. Against a Golden State team that is holding opponents to a league low 74.5 points, it will be as important for her to create scoring opportunities for others as to make shots herself.

It is not going to be easy to do against this defense, but with capable shot makers like Kelsey Mitchell and Aaliyah Boston making her look good, she can go over this total. Clark is listed on the injury report as a game-time decision and probable to play.

•  Janelle Salaun, Under 2.5 Made 3-Pointers at -158

My first thought was to go with the over, because Salaun is a solid 3-point shooter and the Fever can’t play defense. Yes, I wanted to go with the over even though she only made two in her last game and one in the game before.

But then I double-checked the stats and saw Indiana now has the No. 4-ranked defense according to rating and against 3-pointers (teams make 31.2% of their attempts). Yeah, she is not making more than two in this game.

Connecticut Sun vs. Seattle Storm

• Flau'jae Johnson, Under 13.5 Points at -125

I wanted to take the over for the former LSU standout, but then I took a closer look at how she’s been playing. Her usage rate is third best on the team at 23.6%, so she gets involved. However, she doesn’t make shots. She has an effective field goal percentage of just 30.6%.

So, even though she gets involved in the game, she’s not making many shots (no more than three on any given night). Don’t count on her to do better in this game, even against a poor defensive team like Connecticut, even though Dominique Malonga is out again.

• Natisha Hiedeman, Over 1.5 Made 3-Pointers at -138

She failed to make a single shot from 3-point range in her first two games, including one vs. Connecticut. In her third game, she only made one. However, if the last two games are any indication, the team wants her to take perimeter shots (she went 3-6 vs. Indiana and 3-9 vs. Connecticut on Wednesday). 

Teams are making 34.6% of their 3-point attempts vs. the Sun.
