Seattle Storm vs Toronto Tempo Prediction & Picks (Dominique Malonga Key Factor): Smart Betting Angles

The Seattle Storm have really struggled lately, winning just 1 of their last 10 games. They also give up a lot of rebounds, allowing 35.5 per game since 2019. This can lead to more scoring opportunities for the other team. On the other side, the Toronto Tempo have also won only 1 of their last 10 and have been losing games by an average of 10 points lately. With both teams having a hard time scoring and a tendency to struggle in games, betting on under 177 total points makes sense. Our numbers suggest a combined total closer to 173.3, which shows it could be a low-scoring game. The biggest risk is that both teams might surprise us with a better offensive performance than expected. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 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 Over 31.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)

Dominique Malonga needs to rack up points, rebounds, and assists to hit over 31.5 tonight against the Toronto Tempo. She's been getting to the free-throw line a lot, making almost five shots from there in recent games. Plus, she's been grabbing more offensive rebounds than usual, which gives her extra chances to score or assist. Malonga has also been hitting three-pointers and getting more steals lately, showing she's active on both ends of the court. The only risk is that the Tempo may keep the game close, which could limit her playing time. Overall, though, she has a solid chance to hit this mark at home in front of the fans. 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.

Flau'jae Johnson Under 7.5 Rebounds and Assists (-112)

Flau'jae Johnson has been a bit quiet lately when it comes to grabbing rebounds and making assists. In her recent games, she's only been averaging around three defensive rebounds and just eight points, which is lower than usual. At Climate Pledge Arena, she might face some tough competition from the Seattle Storm, who are known for their solid defense. The chance of her hitting more than 7.5 rebounds and assists looks pretty close to even. The biggest risk here is the fact that she's not been very active on the court lately, with her recent stats showing she's been struggling to make a big impact. While it's possible she could surprise us, it feels safer to bet on her staying under this mark. It was priced at -112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.90 if it lands.

Kiki Rice Under 22.5 Points and Assists (-108)

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 -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.
