Atlanta @ Seattle picks

Brittney Griner has missed two games with a left knee injury but is set to make her return to the hardwood ahead of the weekend. Griner intimidates players with her size as a rim protector and has favorable stats against Ezi Magbegor despite her 1-7 record in head-to-head matchups. Griner is averaging 17.7 points on 56.1% shooting against the Seattle Storm forward. She’s a viable third option with two-way impact and can be one of the main reasons the Atlanta Dream cover against one of the WNBA’s most stout defenses.
