Kamilla Cardoso o9.5 Total Rebounds (+110)
Kamilla Cardoso picked up 12+ boards in three games so far in August, including going for 13 rebounds against the Storm in their Monday meeting. That number isn't surprising, as Seattle ranks only 10th in rebounding rate (48.6%). Cardoso will get to a lot of missed shots tonight, and I like her rebounding prop at even money or better.
o176.5 (-112)
The Seattle Storm have played above 176.5 points in six of their last seven games, while the Chicago Sky have done so in seven of 10 contests. I'm taking the Over this afternoon and would do so up to totals of 177.5.

Caitlin Clark o2.5 3-Pointers Made (-120)
Caitlin Clark has been in and around a 2.5 betting line for 3-point makes against the Dream. She's hit at least three triples in six of her last 11 games, but missed the Over in the five other cases by a single 3-point make each.
o187.5 (-110)
The Indiana Fever own the league’s top scoring offense and have been even better during their current 10-3 run, averaging nearly 100 points while shooting 50.9% from the field and 43.6% from three. The Atlanta Dream are one of the few teams in the league that can match that firepower, averaging 94.5 points over its last 10 and 110.5 in its last two wins over Indiana.

DeWanna Bonner o11.5 Points Scored (-115)
The Fire allow 11.0 made three-pointers per game at a 37.4% clip while conceding 22.9 free-throw attempts. In what I expect to be a 100-possession game, Bonner will find clean perimeter spot-ups and frequent trips to the charity stripe against an overaggressive, foul-prone defense averaging 20.7 fouls per game.
PHO -5.5 (-105)
The Mercury lead the league in fouls drawn (23.0 PFD) while generating 19.7 points per game on 25.8 free throw attempts. Conversely, the Fire commit 20.7 personal fouls per contest, which should make veteran scorers like Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper and DeWanna Bonner smile. Fresh off four days of practice to rest and tighten their half-court schemes, I’m expecting a massive offensive night for the Mercury.
