Dominique Malonga Under 22.5 Points and Assists (-127)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
As the Seattle Storm gear up to face the Portland Fire at the Climate Pledge Arena, all eyes will be on Dominique Malonga, but I believe there's value in betting the under on her combined points and assists at 22.5. While Malonga has shown flashes of brilliance this season, she's likely to face intense defensive pressure from the Fire, who have been particularly effective at shutting down opposing playmakers. Our model sees her landing around 17.2 in this matchup, and that figure feels right given the context. The Storm's offensive system has been more about ball movement and team scoring, which could limit Malonga's individual contributions. Plus, with Seattle likely to leverage their depth, Malonga might not play as many minutes as she usually does. All signs point to a night where she may not hit that lofty mark, making the under a compelling play. It was priced at -127 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $17.90 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. 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.
