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. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.

Jackie Young Under 4.5 Rebounds (+108)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Jackie Young and the Las Vegas Aces are facing off against the Seattle Storm at Climate Pledge Arena. The Aces have been struggling a bit with their rebounding lately, averaging only about three defensive rebounds over their last few games, which is lower than what you'd usually expect. This trend makes it reasonable to think Jackie might grab fewer than five rebounds in this matchup. While Jackie is a talented player, she's also dealing with some competition for boards from her teammates. If she continues to average around three to four rebounds, hitting the under on 4.5 seems quite possible. Just remember, if the Aces turn up their intensity or if Jackie has an unexpected breakout game, it could go the other way. It was priced at +108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $20.80 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. 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.
Chelsea Gray Under 14.5 Points and Rebounds (-112)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
For Chelsea Gray to score less than 14.5 points and rebounds combined tonight, she needs to have a quieter game. The Seattle Storm have been pretty good at limiting opponents' scoring lately, and Gray's recent numbers suggest she might struggle. She's been averaging more defensive rebounds than usual, which could mean less time on the offensive side of the ball. One thing to watch is that both teams are close in skill level, so this could go either way. If the Aces push the pace, Gray might get more opportunities, but her recent form points to a lower total. Remember, this doesn't guarantee a win, but the chances look decent for Gray to stay under that number 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.
Dominique Malonga Under 28.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-106)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Dominique Malonga has been playing well lately, but her scoring and overall production have been a bit below average. In her last five games, she's had a typical performance of just a little over 28 combined points, rebounds, and assists, which means this bet is right on the line. The Seattle Storm are facing the Las Vegas Aces, who are known for their strong defense, making it harder for players to rack up stats. While Malonga has been trying to get to the free-throw line more, her scoring from beyond the arc has dipped. With a close matchup and the Aces' solid defense, there's a real chance that Malonga might not hit that 28.5 mark. It could be a tight game, and every little bit counts. 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.
