WNBA Odds, Picks & Predictions: Thursday (7/6)

There’s only one game on the WNBA slate. But it should be a good one.

The Seattle Storm will look to earn a big upset when they visit the Connecticut Sun tonight. The Sun have lost two straight games but are still 12-5 on the season. The Storm might take on the Sun at the perfect time.

Let’s break the game down below.

Seattle Storm vs. Connecticut Sun

The Connecticut Sun defeated the Seattle Storm on the road, 85-79, earlier this season. Now they’ll be home, but that first game wasn’t as easy of a victory as it should have been. Jewell Loyd added 33 points against Connecticut to will the Storm. But she didn’t get much help from her teammates, and the Storm eventually lost.

That’s been a common theme this year.

The Storm held Connecticut to 27.8% from downtown and got to the foul line eight more times. Don’t expect the Storm to see the foul line nearly 30 times tonight.

Seattle still has a hard time scoring. The Storm added only 66 points against the Liberty in their most recent game and have averaged under 80 points per game. They’ve also shot under 40% from the field and allowed teams to score 86 points.

The Storm have played better on the road this year. They’ve gone 2-9 at home but are 2-3 on the road. But they’ve also had way more games at home to begin the year, so it’s a weird stat to look at right now. We’ll see how everything settles when Seattle plays many road games next.

On the other hand, the Sun just lost their last two games to the Aces and Liberty. Those losses were expected, but Connecticut got five more days of rest to prepare for this one.

One of these teams will end their small little losing streak.

But I’ll take the Under. I don’t think the Storm have what it takes to get to 80 points tonight on the road against a well-rested Sun squad.

Bet: Under 164.5 (-110)
