Seattle Storm +7.5 on the Line (+110)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Las Vegas Aces have been on a roll, but the Seattle Storm are tough to beat at home, especially with the Aces traveling quite a bit further for this game. The Storm's scoring and rebounding have shown improvement, making it likely they can keep this match closer than the 7.5 points. Our numbers think they have a good chance to cover this spread, especially since the expected final margin is only about four points. The biggest risk is that the Aces are still a strong team, and they could pull away if the Storm don't keep up their recent form. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Under 182.5 Total Points (-278)

At Climate Pledge Arena, the Seattle Storm are taking on the Las Vegas Aces. Our numbers suggest a low-scoring game, predicting a combined total of around 156.9 points, which is well below the line of 182.5 points. The Storm have struggled lately, showing a significant negative scoring difference, while the Aces are also not known for high-scoring games. With both teams not in great scoring form and the Aces traveling quite a distance, this could be a tight match with fewer points than expected. Just remember, both teams could surprise us. It was priced at -278 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.60 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it.

Chelsea Gray Under 6.5 Assists (-112)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Chelsea Gray needs to record fewer than 7 assists for this bet to win. She has been on a bit of a run, but the matchup against the Seattle Storm could make it tricky. The Storm have been solid defensively, grabbing more defensive rebounds lately, which might limit the chances for assists. Also, Gray has had a tendency to dish out fewer assists in recent games. With the Storm focusing on shutting down plays, it's possible she won't reach that mark. The most concrete risk is that this matchup is pretty close, and both teams are coming in with something to prove. Let's see if she can keep the numbers down tonight! It was priced at -112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.90 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Jackie Young Under 32.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-112)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Jackie Young has been struggling a bit lately at the Climate Pledge Arena. Her recent stats show she's been averaging only about 3.6 rebounds and just a few assists, which is below her usual numbers. This matchup against the Seattle Storm could be tough for her since they play solid defense and limit scoring opportunities. With her recent performances and the fact that she's been getting called for fewer fouls, it seems like she might not hit that 32.5 mark for points, rebounds, and assists. The most concrete risk is that she could surprise us, but her current form suggests she might not reach that total. It's a good chance to consider betting on the under. It was priced at -112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.90 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Dominique Malonga Under 29.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-106)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Dominique Malonga plays for the Seattle Storm and has been putting up some decent numbers lately. However, when looking at her recent performance, she's averaging just under 30 combined points, rebounds, and assists. With the Las Vegas Aces coming to town, this matchup at Climate Pledge Arena could be tougher for her. The Aces are known for their solid defense, which could make it hard for Malonga to hit that mark. While our numbers show she has a good chance to stay under this total, the biggest risk is that both teams are pretty close in their recent form. If she has an exceptional game, she might surprise us, but the odds are leaning toward her staying under 29.5 combined stats today. It was priced at -106 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.40 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

That is how our model reads Seattle Storm v Las Vegas Aces. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
