The Portland Fire and Seattle Storm meet for the fourth and final time this season, and the home team will look to earn its first win against the visitors.
Dominique Malonga has been on a tear, and she’s in line for another monster performance at Climate Pledge Arena tonight.
Read on in my free WNBA picks & Fire vs. Storm predictions to see why Malonga’s big night will spur the Storm to victory on Friday, Aug. 14.
Fire vs Storm prediction
Fire vs Storm best bet: Dominique Malonga Over 20.5 points (+110)
Dominique Malonga has averaged 23.7 ppg across three matchups against the Portland Fire this season, scoring 21+ in each of them. She’s reached that scoring milestone in only 10 of 25 starts, but five of them have been within her last eight contests.
In that eight-game span, she’s T-6 in the league in scoring while averaging 21.8 points and shooting 61.8% from the floor and 39.1% from downtown.
Flau’jae Johnson has scored 16.9 ppg across her last nine, and her absence should mean additional scoring responsibilities for Malonga.
Play up to 24.5 for +270 odds.
COVERS INTEL: Portland ranks in the Top 5 in points, FG%, and 3PM surrendered to opposing centers, setting Malonga up to have a big scoring performance. Her 23.7 ppg scoring average is her highest against any opponent she’s faced multiple times this season.
Fire vs Storm same-game parlay
After sluggish offensive starts to the season, the Portland Fire and Seattle Storm have come to life. Over the last 10 games, both teams rank in the Top 7 in ppg, and both rank in the Bottom 5 in defensive rating. I’ll back the Over to 184.5.
Despite owning the W’s worst record at 7-28, the Storm are tied for the second-best ATS record at 20-15. Dominique Malonga has been on fire, and the Fire have no answer for her.
I’ll back Seattle to break through against Portland and win back-to-back games for just the third time this season.

Fire vs Storm player prop pick
Dominique Malonga Over 9.5 rebounds (-115)
Malonga is averaging 8.7 rpg this season, but she’s corralled 10 per game across her last eight, including 2.5 offensive boards.
The Fire rank dead last in defensive rebound percentage at 65.3%, and Malonga can capitalize on the offensive glass.
Seattle’s second-year center has secured at least nine rebounds in seven of her last eight and 10+ in four of them. A favorable matchup with Portland’s lackluster interior should push her to double-digit rebounds.
