Storm vs Liberty prediction
Storm vs Liberty best bet: Liberty -8.5 (-105)
The New York Liberty beat the Seattle Storm by 12 points earlier this week, and there's no reason to expect a different result tonight. Seattle has now lost nine straight games, allowing opponents to average 96.3 ppg during that streak.
That will continue to spell trouble against a loaded New York offense that put up 95 points in Monday's game. The Liberty rank third in the WNBA in true shooting (59.4%), fourth in offensive rating (111.2), and fourth in overall scoring (90.0 ppg).
New York will have no trouble pulling away from Seattle, and I'd take them to cover at -9.5 or less.
COVERS INTEL: The Storm own a free throw rate of just 16.6%, while the Liberty allow FTs at a league-low 15.6% rate. That means few free points for Seattle as it tries to hang with New York.
Storm vs Liberty same-game parlay
Monday's game managed to come in Under the total by a few points, but let's not get fooled by one result.
The Liberty had previously hit the Over in eight straight contests, and Seattle had done the same in six of seven games. With New York's ability to score and its defensive issues — the Liberty allow 87.6 ppg — the Over is the smart play.
I'm also taking Breanna Stewart to eclipse 22.5 points tonight. Stewart has surpassed this total in five of her last six contests, including a 24-point performance against Seattle on Monday despite taking just 16 attempts.
With New York likely to put up around 100 points again tonight, Stewart will continue to find scoring success.

Storm vs Liberty player prop pick
Breanna Stewart to record a double-double (+130)
While Stewart's scoring prop is a good bet on its own, I'm looking for better value by taking the Liberty superstar to put up a double-double tonight. Stewart boasts double-doubles in three of her last six games, doing so twice since the All-Star break.
Stewart is a near lock to hit double-digits in scoring, so this prop comes down to her rebounds. The Storm rebound at a poor 48.5% rate and allow opponents to grab 35.5 boards per game, second-most in the WNBA.
Stewart should dominate the glass, making her a great double-double pick.
