Vegas Play of the Day: Dallas at Atlanta in the WNBA

We’ve entered the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.

Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won the 2015-2016 season, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.

Dallas Wings at Atlanta Dream, Total Over 170: $550 to win $500: The Dallas Wings are second in the WNBA at 85.7 points per game and covered the points total over in 14 of 15 games through June 28.

While the past three Dallas games have gone under, that’s partially because oddsmakers had to inflate the total to balance out the Wings’ high-scoring. In it most recent game against Phoenix, for instance, the total was 180 — extremely high for a 40-minute game.

Atlanta is a minus-2.5 betting favorite in the game, meaning it will have to score with Dallas to win. The small spread also indicates the game will be close, which should bring free throws — points with the clock stopped — toward the end.

Current Standings: Current Standings: Keefer (3-0, $11,261), Bern (0-1, $9,600), Brewer (0-2, $8,930)
