SEATTLE STORM PREDICTIONS: WNBA TEAM ANALYSIS

The Storm will be taking on a Fever squad that is coming off a gut-wrenching defeat to the Chicago Sky.

• Prior to their loss against the Sky, Indiana was riding a four-game winning streak, which saw them beating the likes of the Washington Mystics and the Atlanta Dream.
• Left-handed point guard Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded Indiana’s offense against the Sky with 24 points while Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark poured 18 and 17 points respectively.

Indiana will need all the help they can get to return to the win column as they take on a Seattle team that has beaten them twice this season. Will Seattle continue its run of success against Indiana or will the Fever finally get over the hump and score that elusive win?

Let’s look at how the Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm betting lines stand.

Best WNBA Odds Today for Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm

• The Seattle Storm is an eight-point favorite against the Indiana Fever. Bet365 offers the best price for punters in this market at -110.
• Indiana has won four of their last five games. Bet365 has them at +325 to return to the win column and win five of their last six.
• Seattle and Indiana are among the best scoring teams in the league. Bet365 has them at -110 to hit the over 166.5 point totals.

Why will the Indiana Fever cover the spread?

Indiana heads into the match against Seattle as eight-point underdogs, for a good reason. The Storm has beaten twice this season with the last being a 15-point defeat.

But the Fever is a completely different team the last time they faced Seattle as evident in their wins against the Dream and the Mystics.

The Fever, in fact, beat teams by an average margin of 8.5 points during that four-game win run.

• Although they lost against the Sky last Sunday, Indiana was able to cover the spread as they came into the match as +2.5 underdogs.
• Overall, Indiana is currently 5-0 ATS (against-the-spread), which makes the +8 spread at -110 quite interesting.
• Indiana has also been shooting like a house on fire from the field, making 44% of their shots, which is good for fourth in the league.

Sweet-shooting guards Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are expected to carry the scoring cudgels for the Indiana Fever along with forward Aaliyah Boston, who is a constant double-double threat every night.

• In the past five games, Boston has recorded three doubles, including a monster 27-point and 13-rebound effort in a win against Atlanta.

Indiana has also gotten some strong support despite the absence of Temi Fagbenle with forward Nalyssa Smith pouring in 11.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. Against Chicago, Smith was phenomenal, dropping 12 points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes of action.

Why will the Seattle Storm cover the spread?

The Seattle Storm returned to the win column in style, beating the powerhouse Connecticut Sun 72-61 on Sunday. After being down early, the Storm went on a scoring barrage in the second quarter and never looked back to secure their first win since June 11.

• Balanced scoring propelled Seattle into the victory with all of its five starters, finishing in double figures.

They will lock horns with an Indiana team they have dominated throughout this season.

• When they last faced one another, Seattle blew past Indiana 103-88 in front of their home fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
• After a back-and-forth first half, the Storm pulled away in the third outscoring the Fever 34-18 en route to the victory.

This time, the Storm will be playing in front of their home fans. All season long, the Storm has been pretty good in the Emerald City, boasting a 5-1 (win-loss) card when playing at home.

• They have also beaten teams by an average margin of 16.4 points at home, which is more than an eight-point cushion than the bookies currently offer.

Despite the absence of MacKenzie Holmes, the Storm has been getting production from multiple players with Jewell Lloyd, Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Ezi Magbegor all averaging in double figures.

Indiana is expected to bank on those four to deliver this Thursday and continue their winning momentum when it takes on an Indiana squad raring to get back into the win column.

Final Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm WNBA Predictions Today: Over 166.5 (-110)

The Seattle Storm covering the spread is not yet a foregone conclusion, especially now that the Indiana Fever has gained some sort of confidence and is learning to string along victories in succession.

That said, I’m going on the over-under markets and hammering the over 166.5 at -110 in this game.

Scoring has been second nature for both of these teams with Seattle ranked fourth in the league at 83.1 ppg and Indiana in the sixth spot at 80.5 ppg. In their past two meetings, both teams also combined for an average total of 179.5 points.

If that is not good enough, both teams are also shooting above 40% from the field this season and within 30% from the three-point territory, which means they have players who can score in successive fashion more quickly than others, making the over 166.5 a value bet at these current odds.
