Analyzing Thursday’s Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (7-11) and Seattle Storm (10-6) meet Thursday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 2-0

After a dismal 1-8 straight-up (SU) start, the Fever have started to piece things together. They’ve won 4 of the past 5 games, while covering the spread in all 5.

Indiana visited Seattle already this season, falling 85-83 May 22, but it was able to cover as 5.5-point underdog as the Over (167) cashed. The Storm also won in Indianapolis May 30, prevailing 103-88 as a 5.5-point favorite, again — with the Over (167.5) connecting.

Seattle G Jewell Loyd dropped 22 points, 6 assists and 2 triples in the May 30 win in Indianapolis. On the flip side, rookie Indiana G Caitlin Clark had 20 points with 9 assists and 3 treys, while F NaLyssa Smith posted 23 points and 10 boards. F Aliyah Boston also had a double-double, finishing with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Storm have lost 2 of the past 3 games, while also going 1-2 against the spread (ATS). However, at home, Seattle has won 5 in a row, while covering the past 4 games. The last non-cover at CPA came against the Fever May 22.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 89, Fever 84

Moneyline

Seattle (-480) will cost nearly 5 times the potential return, which is way too risky. Indiana (+350) is playing with a lot more confidence than it was in the previous 2 installments, and the Fever nearly pulled off the road upset in their first visit to Climate Pledge Arena earlier in the season.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back INDIANA +9.5 (-110) as a solid underdog play in Seattle.

The Fever enter with a season-high 5 consecutive covers, while winning 4 of those games outright.

Seattle did rout Indiana at Gainbridge Fieldhouse by 15 points in the most recent meeting May 30, but at least the Fever have been playing much better since then. Clark, Boston, Smith and G Kelsey Mitchell are starting to jell nicely as a team.

Over/Under

OVER 167.5 (-110) is easily the best play on the board.

It’s been all about the Over for Indiana lately, cashing in 8 straight games, and 11 of the past 12 outings, including the most recent meeting with Indiana May 30.

The Storm dropped 103 points on the Fever in the most recent battle, and the Over has cashed in each of the 2 meetings to date. In fact, that 103-point outburst was a season high for Seattle. The Over has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 outings for the Storm, too.

Sun at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 80, Storm 74

Moneyline

BET SUN (+105).

The Sun are 13-2 this season and have only lost 1 game on the road. They are 3-0 in their last 3 games as a single-digit favorite and face a Storm squad that has lost back-to-back games and 3 of its last 5. While the Storm will present a challenge, the Sun have 5 players averaging in double-digits which will prove to be the necessary advantage to win on Sunday.

Against the spread

PASS.

There is better value on the Connecticut moneyline.

Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (9-5) and Las Vegas Aces (6-6) meet Wednesday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 1-0

The Storm have already hit it big in Vegas, winning 78-65 on June 7 in the 1st head-to-head meeting of the season as huge +285 moneyline underdogs. Seattle was a 7.5-point underdog, and the Under (167.5) easily connected.

Seattle lost last time out in Phoenix 87-78 and it is just 2-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 6 contests, too.

The Aces have dropped 4 of the past 5 outings, while going 0-5 ATS in somewhat of a nosedive. The Under cashed (174) cashed last time out on Saturday, but the Over is still 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 83, Storm 79

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-300) will cost 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too risky for a multitude of reasons.

First off, the Aces have dropped 4 of the past 5 games, and it has 6 losses overall. The Aces didn’t suffer their 6th loss last season until their 40th game, which left them 34-6 heading into Aug. 29.

Still, Seattle (+240) already won 2 weeks ago on the Strip but it has had trouble of its own lately, dropping 2 of the past 4 outings.

PASS and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

SEATTLE +7.5 (-120) is worth a look.

Las Vegas cannot be trusted as it has failed to cover in its past 5 outings. That non-cover streak started with the June 7 home loss to Seattle.

The Aces have won 7 of the past 8 meetings in the head-to-head series, but the Storm are 2-1 ATS in the past 3 dating back to last season.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 172.5 (-110) is strong play in this Western Conference tilt.

The Under is 3-1 in the previous 4 meetings in this series, including June 7.

The total has gone Under in 4 of the past 6 games for Seattle, too, including 6-2 in the past 8 road contests.

For Las Vegas, the Under hit last time out against the Liberty, but the Over is still 3-1 in the past 4 games, so tread lightly.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 91, Storm 85

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Aces (-375) moneyline. They have lost just 2 games this season while dominating in each of their wins. While the Storm are on a 5-game winning streak, 2 of those wins came against the Indiana Fever (2-9). who have the 2nd-worst record in the WNBA. The Storm have been dominated in their recent matchups against the Aces, losing 7 in a row.

Against the spread

LEAN STORM +8.5 (-120).

While the Aces hold the advantage, the Storm have played well both overall and against the spread (ATS) this season. They are 6-3 straight up (SU) and ATS this season and have covered in each of their last 4 and their only game while playing as underdogs. The Aces are just 3-4 ATS including 1-3 ATS at home.

Over/Under

BET OVER 166.5 (-105).

Seattle has hit the Over in 3 of its last 5 games and has scored 80 or more points in 4 of its last 5 and 6 of its last 8. Las Vegas has hit the Over in 4 of its last 6 games and has scored 80 or more points in 6 of its 7 games including 88 or more in 5 of its 7. With 3 players averaging 18.9 points per game or more for the Aces, expect an offensive battle on Friday.

Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (4-3) and Indiana Fever (1-7) meet Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (Amazon Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 1-0

The Storm picked up a 77-68 road win against the Chicago Sky Tuesday, covering as 2-point favorites as the Under (164) connected. Seattle has picked up 3 straight wins, and it is 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 outings.

That 3-game winning streak by Seattle includes an 85-83 victory over Indiana at Climate Pledge Arena May 22. It is the Storm’s only non-cover during the past 5 games as the Fever cashed as 5-point underdogs and the Over (167) connected.

G Jewell Loyd dropped a game-high 32 points with 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in 38 minutes against the Fever, while F Nneka Ogwumike added 22 points and 9 boards on an efficient 10-of-15 shooting.

Indiana G Caitlin Clark posted 21 points with 7 assists and 7 rebounds in 33 minutes in a losing effort against the Storm, cashing in 2 triples while hitting 7-of-9 from the free-throw line with 2 blocked shots.

Clark is the quickest player in WNBA history to reach at least 100 points and at least 50 assists, doing so in her first 8 games. She scored a career-high 30 points in an 88-82 home loss to LA Sparks Tuesday. She also had 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocked shots, becoming the 1st WNBA rookie and 4th player in history to record a 30-5-5-3-3 stat line.

Unfortunately for the Fever, they will be without C Temi Fagbenle for the next 2-3 weeks due to a left foot injury suffered Tuesday vs. the Sparks. Plus, G Erica Wheeler is out due to personal reasons, leaving the bench short.

Over/Under (O/U): 168.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 87, Fever 75

Moneyline

Seattle (-190) is a little on the pricey side, costing nearly 2 times the potential return.

While Indiana (+155) has won just once in 8 games, and it played Seattle tough in the Pacific Northwest last week, the Fever are down 2 guards for Thursday’s game, and it’s going to be an uphill climb just to keep the Storm within arm’s length.

AVOID.

Against the spread

SEATTLE -4.5 (-110) is a strong play. While it’s easy to get caught up in the fact that Indiana played tough in Seattle, nearly grabbing the road win, a lot has changed in the past 8 days. Indiana will be operating with a short bench, and it cannot be trusted, even at home.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 168.5 (-110) is worth a look in this battle in Indianapolis.

While the Over cashed in Seattle in the 1st meeting, it barely hit with 168 combined points and an O/U line of 167.

With Indiana dealing with a short bench, it likely will struggle on offense due to some fatigue.

Seattle Storm at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seattle Storm at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (3-3) and Chicago Sky (2-2) tangle Tuesday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Sky won 3-1 in 2023

The Storm won back-to-back games for the 1st time this season, topping the Indiana Fever Wednesday and the Washington Mystics Friday — both at home. Seattle is just 1-2 straight up (SU) and 2-1 against the spread (ATS) on the road in 3 tries so far, while cashing the Under in each of the previous 2 road contests.

The Sky were flying high with back-to-back road wins as underdogs before losing 86-82 at home to the undefeated Connecticut Sun Saturday. Chicago did cover though as a 5-point underdog. The Sky are 3-0 ATS in the past 3 games. Chicago was a 4.5-point dog in an 83-74 victory at the Dallas Wings May 18, and was a big 16.5-point underdog in a 90-81 upset victory at the New York Liberty Thursday.

Chicago rookie F Angel Reese is off to a hot start, averaging 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, while hitting 35.7% from the field through 4 games. G Marina Mabrey leads the Sky with 19.3 PPG to go along with 7.0 RPG, 5.5 APG and 2.0 SPG.

Over/Under (O/U): 165.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storm at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Sky 85, Storm 82

Moneyline

CHICAGO (+135) is worth playing at home as a slight underdog.

Chicago played well on its home floor in the home opener, albeit in a loss to unbeaten Connecticut (5-0). The Sky took the Sum to the mat, falling 86-82 in the closing minutes. This Chicago team showed it can beat anyone when it shocked the Liberty at Barclays Center last week. The Sky should be able to win a battle of .500 teams Tuesday.

Against the spread

Chicago +3.5 (-115) is a good play if you’re a little more of a conservative bettor and can’t bring yourself to back the home team straight up.

As mentioned, the Sky have covered the past 3 games — all as underdogs, On the flip side, the Storm are just 2-3 ATS in 5 games as favorites.

Over/Under

OVER 165.5 (-115) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed in the past 2 games for the Storm, while the total has cashed high in 3 of 4 games for the Sky. The Over cashed in 3 of 4 head-to-head meetings last season, and is 4-1 in the past 5 dating back to Aug. 9, 2022.

Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (0-4) and Seattle Storm (1-3) meet Wednesday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Fever won 2-1 in 2023

The Fever have dropped all 4 games to date, but Indiana is getting a lot closer. After losing by 21 or more points in each of the 1st 2 games, Indiana covered the spread in the past 2 outings, both rematches. That includes an 88-84 loss at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the Connecticut Sun on Monday night, cashing as 5.5-point underdogs as the Over (164) connected.

No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell each scored a team-best 17 points in the loss to the Sun, while Clark hit 3 triples to go along with 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

The Storm dropped a 74-63 game at New York on Monday, but covered as 14-point underdogs as the Under (165.5) connected. The total has gone low in 3 of 4 games, and like Indiana, it has covered the past 2 outings after opening 0-2 against the spread (ATS).

The Storm have a couple of players listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s tilt, as rookie G Nika Muhl (personal) is considered probable, while F Nneka Ogwumike (ankle) carries a questionable tag. She missed the past 2 games of the road trip after rolling her ankle in the 2OT loss in Minnesota last weekend.

Fever at Storm odds

Moneyline (ML): Fever +200 (bet $100 to win $200) | Storm -250 (bet $250 to win $100)
Against the spread (ATS): Fever +5.5 (-110) | Storm -5.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 163.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 81, Fever 77

Moneyline

The Storm (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit of risk. While Muhl is likely to be able to suit up, Ogwumike is less of a certainty. The team beat a winless Washington team without her, but produced a season-low 63 points in New York without her services. If Ogwumike cannot go, Seattle is super risky.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The FEVER +5.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly in this road contest.

Indiana has looked much better in the past 2 games than it did in the 1st 2 outings. Clark appears to be getting much more comfortable, and she has started to chop down her turnovers after committing 10 in the opener at Connecticut. She is still going to have a lot of miscues, as she handles the ball a lot. But she also makes several triples per game, too. She’ll help keep Indiana competitive in this game.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 163.5 (-105) is a solid play in this battle.

The Storm has cashed the Under in 3 of 4 games to date, including its only home game back on May 14, an 83-70 loss to Minnesota.

The Fever have hit the Over in the past 2 games, but it averaged just 68.5 in the 1st 2 games, hitting the Under in each of those contests. Look for the Fever to come down somewhere in the 70s in this outing.

Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Storm (11-25) make the 2nd stop on a 4-game road trip against the Las Vegas Aces (31-6) Saturday. Tip-off from Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Aces odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Storm might be eliminated from postseason contention, but Seattle hasn’t stopped fighting. It is coming off a 72-61 win in Los Angeles as a 7-point underdogs last time out as the Under (159.5) cashed. The win snapped a 3-game losing streak, and the cover ended an 0-2-1 against the spread (ATS) slide. The Under was also the first in 5 games for Seattle.

The Aces topped the visiting Washington Mystics last time out by an 84-75 score, although Las Vegas was unable to grab the cover for the 6th consecutive contest. The Under is 2-1 in the past 3 outings, too.

These teams last met in the Pacific Northwest, with the Aces pulling out a 79-63 win, while the Storm cashed at most shops as a 16.5-point underdog. The Under (171) also connected in that one. That was the closest pass for the Storm, as Seattle lost the first 2 meetings this season by 33 or more points.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Storms at Aces picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 91, Storm 71

Moneyline

The Aces (-2000) will cost you a pretty penny, as a bettor would need to risk $100 for every $5 of profit with a Las Vegas victory. There is just no reason to ever bet such a heavy moneyline favorite. Even if you were to include Vegas in a multi-team parlay ticket, betting such a strong favorite sucks the value right out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

The ACES -16.5 (-115) are a strong play laying the points on their home floor.

The Storm +16.5 (-105) has been eliminated from the postseason chase. While Seattle was impressive last time out in L.A., that’s against a lowly Sparks team, and not the top team in the WNBA. Las Vegas will step on the gas in the 2nd half, grabbing the easy win and cover.

Over/Under

The UNDER 169.5 (-110) is the lean in this 4th meeting of the regular season.

While the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Storm, the Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games following a straight-up win, and 6-1 in the past 7 tries after a cover in the previous outing. The Under is also 4-1 in Seattle’s past 5 trips to The Strip.

Aces at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 97, Storm 76

Moneyline

The Aces (-3333) will cost you more than 33 times your potential return, which is obviously a foolish bet. No one could need $3 that badly that you would be willing to risk $100.

PASS.

Against the spread

The ACES -17.5 (-110) heads to the Pacific Northwest Thursday and should smash the Storm for the 3rd time this season.

Vegas has now only won and covered both of the previous meetings, winning by an average of 37.0 points per game. The Aces have won 5 straight in the series while covering each of the past 4 outings and have won and covered the past 4 trips to the Emerald City.

Over/Under

OVER 170.5 (-110) is the lean.

The Under cashed in the most recent meeting on The Strip in mid-June, although the Over did connect in the season opener in the Pacific Northwest back in May.

The Over has hit in each of the past 4 meetings in Seattle, while the Storm has cashed the Over in 12 of the past 17 home games. The Over is also 5-1 in the past 6 road outings for the Aces.
