Dominique Malonga Under 28.5 Points and Rebounds (-111)

At the Climate Pledge Arena, Dominique Malonga of the Seattle Storm is set to face off against the Las Vegas Aces. Our numbers suggest there's a good chance Malonga will score fewer points and grabs fewer rebounds than the 28.5 line. Recently, she has been averaging just over five free throws, which shows she's getting to the line but not always converting those into high scoring. While Malonga has been solid on defense with her blocks and steals, her scoring and rebounding numbers haven't been as impressive, especially against a tough Aces team. The biggest risk here is that she could have a breakout game, as her performance can be unpredictable. Overall, it looks like this could be a good spot to take the under on her combined total. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 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.

Natisha Hiedeman Under 15.5 Points and Rebounds (-111)

Natisha Hiedeman has been struggling lately, and the Seattle Storm have only won 2 of their last 10 games. They also give up a lot of rebounds, averaging 35.5 per game, which could limit Hiedeman's chances to rack up both points and boards. The Las Vegas Aces are in better form with 6 wins in their last 10, but they still allow opponents to take quite a few three-pointers, which may affect Hiedeman's scoring. Betting on Hiedeman to score under 15.5 combined points and rebounds feels solid given the way she's been playing. The Storm's recent struggles and the Aces' ability to control the game could mean Hiedeman finds it tough to hit that number. The biggest risk is that it's a close matchup, and if the game is competitive, she might get more chances than expected. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

A'ja Wilson Under 35.5 Points and Rebounds (-109)

A'ja Wilson has been playing well lately, but the Seattle Storm are tough at home. The Storm have been known to limit opponents' scoring, especially in their own arena, which makes it a challenging night for players like Wilson. While she usually contributes a lot, her recent numbers show she's averaging fewer rebounds and points than expected. One big concern is that Wilson has had a drop in her offensive rebounds and blocks lately. This could mean fewer opportunities for her to score or grab boards. With the Storm's strong defense, it's likely she'll struggle to hit that 35.5 mark tonight. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 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.

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.
