Under 177.5 Total Points (-110)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Seattle Storm are playing against the Toronto Tempo, and both teams have been struggling lately. The Storm's recent games show they haven't been able to score a lot, and our numbers suggest a combined total score of around 173.3 points. That's lower than the 177.5 point line, making the under a solid pick. Travel might play a role here too, as Toronto has to travel over 2,600 kilometers to get to Seattle. Plus, both teams are dealing with a rest difference, which could affect their energy levels on the court. With these factors considered, betting on the total points to stay under 177.5 looks promising, but remember, the game could always surprise us! 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.

Toronto Tempo +4.5 on the Line (-106)

Seattle Storm has been struggling lately, especially with their recent scoring and rebounding. Meanwhile, Toronto Tempo is showing some promise and has a good chance of keeping the game close. Betting on Toronto to stay within 4.5 points feels like a smart move. The Tempo has been putting in solid performances, and even though they have to travel quite a bit, they could surprise the Storm. One concrete risk is that Seattle could find their rhythm at home and pull ahead, but Toronto has shown they can compete. It was priced at -106 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.40 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.

Kiki Rice Under 8.5 Rebounds and Assists (+108)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Kiki Rice has been on a roll lately, making a solid impact for the Seattle Storm. In recent games, she's been racking up more points and assists than usual, but her rebounds have been a bit lower compared to her overall play. At the Climate Pledge Arena, she might shine in points and assists but could struggle to grab those extra boards. Betting on her to get under 8.5 combined rebounds and assists feels like a smart choice. The numbers show she's been averaging about a mix of 4.6 assists and only 3.8 rebounds, which puts her right around this number. The biggest risk is that she could have a breakout game and grab more rebounds than expected, but with her recent performance, this bet looks promising. 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 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.

Isabelle Harrison Under 16.5 Points and Assists (-108)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Isabelle Harrison has been struggling to find her rhythm lately, which makes this bet pretty interesting. In her recent games, she's been averaging fewer points and assists than usual. With her scoring form not quite where it should be, and the Seattle Storm's strong defense putting the pressure on, it seems likely that she won't hit the mark of 16.5 combined points and assists. The most concrete risk here is that Harrison could surprise everyone and have a standout game, but the numbers suggest that's not very likely. With her recent averages showing only 2.4 assists and not much scoring, it feels like a smart move to bet under 16.5. It's a good chance to take, especially when considering how well the Storm defend. It was priced at -108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.30 if it lands.

Ezi Magbegor Over 8.5 Points (-106)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Ezi Magbegor has been showing some solid scoring lately, and this game against the Toronto Tempo looks like a good chance for her to shine. With her ability to score, grab rebounds, and block shots, she has the tools to get over 8.5 points. The Storm will want to maximize their scoring at home, and Magbegor will likely be a key player in that effort. One concern is that both teams are close in skill level, making the outcome tricky. However, with Magbegor's recent form and the Storm's home advantage, this bet feels promising. If she finds her rhythm early, it could lead to a great night for her scoring. 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 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.
