On Thursday 27 August 2026, Seattle Storm play Toronto Tempo in the WNBA. Our model likes 5 bets here. The one it likes most is Under 176.5 Total Points, priced at -110 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.
Under 176.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Seattle Storm and Toronto Tempo are both struggling with their scoring lately, which makes this pick interesting. Our numbers suggest they might only combine for around 173 points, which is less than the line of 176.5. Both teams also have some travel fatigue, with Toronto traveling a long distance for this game. With the scoring form and travel considered, betting on the total points to go under 176.5 feels like a solid choice, but it's a close call, so don't expect an easy win. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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 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.
Toronto Tempo +7.5 on the Line (-135)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
Toronto Tempo has been in solid scoring form lately, while Seattle Storm has struggled, creating a tough matchup for them. This bet on Toronto to win by 7.5 points looks promising because our numbers suggest they have a good chance to cover that spread. However, Toronto has had to travel a long distance, which could make things tricky for them. Overall, it seems like a smart pick for this game. It was priced at -135 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $17.40 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. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Awa Fam Under 5.5 Rebounds (+110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Seattle Storm have been struggling lately, winning just one of their last ten games. They give up a lot of rebounds, allowing opponents to grab about 35.5 boards per game. Awa Fam, playing for the Storm, will have a tough time against the Toronto Tempo, who are also not in great form but tend to force turnovers and disrupt plays. The odds are close to even, which shows this could go either way. With both teams having issues lately, the risk for Fam getting more than 5.5 rebounds is real. If the game stays tight and the rebounding battle is fierce, he might not hit that mark. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. 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.

For Dominique Malonga to score over 20.5 points tonight, she needs to keep up her strong form. Recently, she's been hitting more free throws and making more three-pointers than usual, which shows she's feeling confident. Plus, she's been getting a good number of assists and offensive rebounds, helping her stay involved in the game. The biggest risk is that the game could be close, meaning fewer chances to score if the team plays more cautiously. Still, with her current scoring ability, this bet has a good chance of hitting. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. 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.
Kiki Rice Under 22.5 Points and Assists (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Kiki Rice has been struggling lately, and with the Seattle Storm allowing a lot of points and rebounds, it could be tough for her to shine. The Storm have only won 1 of their last 10 games, which shows they're not in great form. They also give up a lot of rebounds, meaning there might be fewer chances for Kiki to rack up points and assists. On the other hand, the Toronto Tempo has been solid in forcing turnovers. With only 1 win in their last 10, they also seem to be struggling, but their defense could make it hard for Kiki to get going. Since the teams are closely matched in their recent performances, there's a real chance Kiki might not reach 22.5 combined points and assists today. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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 Toronto Tempo. 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.
