Vegas Play of the Day: Atlanta of the WNBA at Chicago

Wed, Jun 24, 2015 (11:46 a.m.)

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Atlanta Dream at Chicago Sky, Total Over 158: $440 to win $400: Don’t laugh — there’s money to be made with women’s basketball.

The Chicago Sky is one of the highest-scoring teams in the WNBA, with four of its six games this season going over the points total. The team scored 93, 95, 98 and 95 points in those games. And against Tulsa on June 6, it surrendered more than 100 points.

Atlanta, though, struggles to scores and is just 2-7-1 in total overs this season, forcing linemakers to set a favorable 158 total. That’s a great number for Chicago, considering star Elena Delle Donne — the league’s best player — averages a league-best 29.3 points per game.

Standings: Bern (84-73-1, $11,405), Keefer (82-85-2, $8,442), Brewer (71-89-3, -$815)
