Dating back to the regular season, Bueckers has four or more boards in nine of her last 10 games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cq\">She\u2019s going to play a ton of minutes on Friday with the Wings\u2019 season on the line, and the Valkyries haven\u2019t exactly been dominant on the glass this season, ranking seventh in the WNBA in rebound percentage.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cv\">I will take a shot on Bueckers to reach her season average for the third consecutive game in this series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries OVER 157.5 Points (-110)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d5\">On paper, this series should have seen two low-scoring games to this point, but we\u2019ve gotten the complete opposite.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"da\">The Wings and Valkyries combined for 184 points in Game 1 (Golden State reached triple-digits) and 208 points in an overtime matchup in Game 2. They easily hit the OVER on the total in both games, yet it remains under 160 for Game 3.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"df\">Now, there are a ton of reasons why oddsmakers are expecting low-scoring games between these teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"dk\">The Wings and Valkyries both hit the UNDER more than any other team in the WNBA (26 times) in the regular season, and they rank No. 15 (Golden State) and No. 13 (Dallas) in pace. On top of that, the Valkyries had the No. 1 defensive rating in the league in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"dp\">Now, through five meetings this season, these teams have combined for 171, 170, 148, 184 and 208 points. They\u2019ve cleared this total four out of five times, and they rank No. 1 (Golden State) and No. 4 (Dallas) in offensive rating this postseason despite playing at the slowest pace in the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"du\">With the season on the line for both squads, I think this total is a little too low, especially since we\u2019ve already gotten an overtime game in this series. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"e3\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"e8\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ed\">Claim the latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/draftkings-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
