Picks and prices

Odds of at least 1.70 only · highest odds first · results checked

A line is the number a bookmaker sets, e.g. 13.5 points; Over means more than it, Under fewer. Odds 1.93 pay 1.93 for every 1 staked. 'Posted at' is the price we found when we published the pick; after the game it is compared with the last price before the start.

Why the better price matters

In our past tests, simply taking the highest price offered for a line earned more than any of our own forecasts did.

In that test (25 Aug 2026), taking the best price returned about 2.8 more for every 100 staked than the price we posted did.

The players

8 players checked · 4 whose past record points the other way from the bookmakers' price · 0 out · 0 with too few games

Rate: the share of this season's games in which the player finished above tonight's line. S beside a name marks an expected starter.

Against this opponent, 0 of 8 players have performed clearly differently and 0 show a slight hint

Context only A player's rate describes the past; it is not a tip and has not been tested as one. Expected minutes come from RotoWire, a lineup news service.

Lineups

Starting lineup confirmed () · RotoWire, a lineup news service, as of game start

Playing time

4 players are expected to play at least 5 minutes more or fewer than in the last 5 games. For 4 players (Russell, Johnson, Key, Bankole) we have no real minutes estimate, only a default.

Boston: expected to play 32 minutes, averaged 23.0 in the last 5 games, about 9.0 more than usual

Timpson: expected to play 28 minutes, averaged 19.9 in the last 5 games, about 8.1 more than usual

Cunningham: expected to play 25 minutes, averaged 17.2 in the last 5 games, about 7.8 more than usual

Sykes: expected to play 20 minutes, averaged 25.4 in the last 5 games, about 5.4 fewer than usual

Our check: these minute estimates (RotoWire) are typically off by about 4 minutes.

Rest

Both teams had at least two days between their last game and this one.

Bookmakers

The reference bookmaker, Pinnacle, offers 11 of the 56 lines; the rest rely on other bookmakers.

One team is expected to win by 10 or more. In past games like this, players went over their lines 65.9% of the time; this does not mean the opposite is a good bet.

When a player is out, that player's lines are removed: in our past results this helped. Guessing which teammates benefit was also tested and lost money, so nothing else on this page is adjusted for it.

Her 19% usage rate kept her efficient as a facilitator, allowing her to orchestrate offense without needing to score.

The under cashed comfortably as she stayed true to her role as a facilitator (6 ast) rather than a rebounder.
Kelsey Mitchell Over 24.5 PTSWIN +0.79ubet −126 → close −126 · CLV +0.0¢ · bet_clv:333644 · priced_lineedges · captured 2026-08-18T00:00:00Z · grade_v2 C · p_hit 53.1% · actual 29 · 24.4 min · startedMitchell's elite 68.8% FG and 66.7% 3PT shooting efficiency, combined with 34% usage rate and 24 minutes, generated the 29 points needed to clear the 24.5 line. Her 84% true shooting percentage was the key driver—she simply couldn't miss tonight.

Her 61% true shooting and high-volume rebounding opportunities in a competitive game kept her scoring punch above the betting line despite modest overall usage.

Her 16-rebound night kept her engaged in the game flow and ensured sufficient shot opportunities to clear the under.

Her three turnovers further constrained her ability to generate additional assists from her 28 minutes on the court.
Caitlin Clark Under 10.5 ASTWIN +0.72ubet −138 → close −161 · CLV +3.7¢ · bet_clv:330404 · priced_lineedges · captured 2026-08-18T00:00:00Z · grade_v2 B · p_hit 55.6% · actual 7 · 33.3 min · startedClark's playmaking was throttled by a season-high 7 turnovers and limited floor time with three fouls, preventing her from reaching double-digit dimes despite 33 minutes of heavy offensive usage. The turnover burden—tied to aggressive offensive load and foul trouble—disrupted rhythm and reduced her ability to set up teammates at her usual rate.
Aneesah Morrow Under 7.5 REBLOSS −1.00ubet −125 → close −127 · CLV +0.4¢ · bet_clv:330413 · priced_lineedges · captured 2026-08-18T00:00:00Z · grade_v2 C · p_hit 54.0% · conversion_unlucky · actual 16 · 28.7 min · startedMorrow doubled the over/under with 16 rebounds in 29 minutes, dominating the glass with a massive rebounding effort that far exceeded her modest 16% usage rate. Her 16 boards came despite modest scoring (14 points on solid 55% shooting), indicating she was deployed primarily as a rebounder and pick-and-roll finisher rather than a high-volume offensive option.
Makayla Timpson Over 6.5 PTSWIN +0.79ubet −127 → close −132 · CLV +0.9¢ · bet_clv:330414 · priced_lineedges · captured 2026-08-18T00:00:00Z · grade_v2 C · p_hit 54.4% · actual 8 · 32.2 min · startedTimpson's perfect 4-for-4 shooting from the field made the difference, converting all her attempts in 32 minutes of playing time to easily clear the 6.5-point line.

Her rebounding production dramatically outpaced her modest 16% usage rate, indicating she was crashing the glass consistently rather than playing a ball-dominant role.
