The WNBA slate for August 10, 2026, promises an electrifying evening of basketball with two intriguing matchups. Whether you're a casual fan or a dedicated bettor, these games are full of storylines that could shape the postseason picture.
Toronto Tempo at Atlanta Dream
First up, the Toronto Tempo head south to face the Atlanta Dream. The Dream, boasting a solid 19-12 record, are well-poised to secure a playoff spot, but the Tempo, despite their 10-21 season, have been known to surprise.
Our model favors the Dream with a predicted score of 89.8 over Toronto’s 81.0, giving Atlanta a 61% chance of victory. The home team's dynamic duo, Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, are expected to lead the charge with projected performances of 18.3 and 16.3 points respectively. Howard’s ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor is complemented by Angel Reese’s dominance on the boards, with a predicted 14.8 rebounds.
For Toronto, Marina Mabrey will need to shine, with projections of 15.5 points, and Aneesah Morrow’s inside presence could be a key factor if the Tempo are to defy the odds. The Vegas spread at -13.0 suggests a comfortable win for Atlanta, but basketball is often full of surprises.
Chicago Sky at Seattle Storm
Meanwhile, the Chicago Sky face off against the Seattle Storm in what promises to be a nail-biter. Both teams are fighting for pride more than playoff spots, but that doesn’t diminish the stakes for the evening.
The matchup is incredibly tight, with our simulations giving the Storm a slight edge with a 52% win probability and a predicted score of 86.8 to Chicago’s 85.4. The game could hinge on the performances of Kamilla Cardoso for the Sky and Dominique Malonga for the Storm, both projected to post double-doubles with Cardoso expected to grab 12.2 rebounds and score 17.3 points.
Flau'jae Johnson and Natisha Hiedeman will be key for Seattle, combining for over 27 points, and their ability to control the tempo will be critical. For Chicago, veteran Courtney Vandersloot’s playmaking might just tip the scales if the game comes down to the wire.
