Earlier today, I shared in my WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 why I\u2019m fading Howard in Game 5:\u00a0<\/p>\n Rhyne Howard takes a ton of 3-pointers for Atlanta, and she shot 35.5 percent from deep during the regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, in the postseason, that hasn\u2019t been the case. Howard is shooting 29.3 percent from 3 on just 6.4 attempts per game, and she\u2019s yet to clear this line in the Finals.<\/p>\n In four games, Howard has gone 2-for-9, 1-for-5, 1-for-2 and 2-for-8 from deep, and she only has one game this postseason with three or more made 3-pointers.<\/p>\n During the regular season, the Valkyries were No. 1 in the league in opponent 3-point percentage and opponent 3s made per game. I\u2019m gladly taking the Dream star to fall short of this line in Game 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dream vs. Valkyries Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n There has only been one game in this series that has gone over 149.5 total points (Game 3), and the Dream scored 97 points on their own in that matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n Outside of that, there hasn\u2019t been a single other instance where a team reached 80 points, and both of these teams are shooting well under 40 percent from the field in this series.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Valkyries and Dream both finished the regular season with top-five defenses, and the Valkyries have played at a slow pace all season long, which limits scoring for both sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n I don\u2019t see much changing in Game 5, especially in Golden State. 16 of the Valkyries\u2019 28 home games have hit the UNDER, and Games 1 and 2 finished with 132 and 144 combined points.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bettors should continue to expect defense-first games the rest of this series.<\/p>\n Pick: UNDER 149.5 (-110 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Find Peter Dewey’s\u00a0WNBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
