4. Best Same-Game Parlay
Leg 1: New York Liberty -4.5 (-110)
Leg 2: Over 166.5 (-110)

Why This Works:
- Liberty -4.5: Their 66.9% adjusted win rate and recent 9-point win over Las Vegas suggest they’ll cover.
- Over 166.5: Combined scoring trends (168 avg) and Atlanta’s rebounding/turnover discipline should fuel a high-scoring game.

EV Validation:
- Leg 1 EV: +11.9% (spread).
- Leg 2 EV: +3.5% (over/under).
- Correlation Risk: Low. A Liberty win by 5+ points doesn’t inherently correlate with Over/Under, but both legs benefit from Atlanta’s scoring volatility.

Parlay Odds:
- Individual legs at -110 → Parlay pays +260 (approx. 28.57% implied).
- Combined EV: (61.9% * 50%) / 28.57% ≈ 108.6% → +8.6% edge.

Final Verdict
Bet: New York Liberty -4.5 & Over 166.5
Odds: +260
Rationale: The Liberty’s adjusted win rate (66.9%) and the Over’s 50/50 line with upward scoring trends create a high-conviction parlay. Atlanta’s rebounding and Gray’s playmaking could fuel the Over, while New York’s defense should secure the cover.

"The Dream may dream of an upset, but the Liberty are here to turn their hopes into a nightmare. Bet the parlay, or bet your life—either way, the math is sound." 🏀🔥
