Friday’s Best WNBA Picks & Bets: Storm vs. Aces
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook | All bets are for 1 unit
The Storm (16-14) and Aces (16-14) are tied in the standings, so this is a big game. These teams have met three times this season, with Seattle going 2-1 SU/ATS in the first three meetings, while the over has cashed in two of three.
In the only previous battle at Michelob ULTRA Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on June 20th, Seattle won 90-83 as a 3-point underdog as the over (160.5) cashed. Nneka Ogwumike rolled up 25 points with 12 rebounds, while Gabby Williams went for 18 points and 12 boards in that victory.
In the loss to the Storm on June 20th, A’ja Wilson was good for 20 points, 14 rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals across 34 minutes. She is averaging 18 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots per game in three meetings against Seattle this season.
Seattle acquired Brittney Sykes, and it is uncertain if she’ll be able to make her debut today. Officially, she is a game-time decision. She is needed, as the Storm have dropped three in a row while going 0-3 ATS in the span. The over is 3-1 in the past four games, as the defense has allowed 85+ points in three of those four outings.
Las Vegas swept a home-and-home with the Golden State Valkyries, while going 4-1 SU/ATS in the past five games. The over is 4-2 in the past six outings.
We’ll side with the Aces on their home court, while going high on the total.
Picks: Aces -1 (-112) & Over 163.5 Points (-110)
