New York Liberty vs Seattle Storm Total Over/Under Prediction- WNBA Best Bets

The Liberty was the best two-way squad during their first nine games, but that’s no longer the case. They have conceded 89 or more in five of the last eight games. On the other hand, they have usually hovered in the early 80s mark.

Meanwhile, the Storm has typically held teams to the early 80s, but are prone to low-scoring games, considering their iso-heavy style at times. Thus, we can watch a potential low scorer here. There is a high chance the score can go under here and this can be a grinding affair.

Total: Under 168.5 for -118 at BetMGM

New York Liberty vs Seattle Storm Player Props Predictions- WNBA Betting Picks

Breanna Stewart U 20.5 points: Stewart has tallied 20.5 points per game this season. She has scored 21 or fewer points in four of the last five games. I expect the Storm defense to hold her under 20 like they did in the last meeting (18 points).

Nneka Ogwumike O 18.5 points: The Storm forward has tallied 17.4 but has scored 20+ points in eight out of 18 games. She scored 26 against the Liberty during the last meeting and I see her getting “Over” the mark again.

Natasha Cloud O 6.5 assists: Cloud has been the primary playmaker for the Liberty, averaging 6.5 APG. She has dished at least 6 helpers in six straight games. I see her going “Over” again.

Main pick: Natasha Cloud O 6.5 assists for-110 at BetMGM

New York Liberty vs Seattle Storm Spread Prediction

The Liberty are 2-4 over the last six games, showcasing their vulnerabilities. On the other hand, the Storm are prone to inconsistent patches too, having lost two of their last four after a three-game winning streak.

The Liberty’s inside defense has crumbled without Jonquel Jones and the Storm can exploit that. Meanwhile, the Storm are also vulnerable on the offensive end. Thus, there are plenty of holes for both to attack. At any rate, I see a strong Storm effort here and they might upset NY here.

Spread/Money Line Pick: ML: Storm at BetMGM

I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
