Only eight games remain in the regular season, and if the playoffs began today, the No. 8 seed Seattle Storm would face the No. 1 seed Minnesota Lynx. The two teams clash at Target Center tonight in what could be a first-round preview.
My Storm vs. Lynx predictions and WNBA picks expect a strong performances from Napheesa Collier on the glass.
Storm vs Lynx predictions
My Storm vs Lynx best bet: Napheesa Collier Over 7.5 rebounds (-130 at bet365)
Napheesa Collier leads the WNBA in scoring, but she’s also a strong facilitator and tremendous defender.
For tonight’s matchup, however, I’m not targeting a scoring or combo line. Instead, I’m rolling with a modest rebound line that Collier should have no problem eclipsing.
On the season, Collier is averaging 7.6 boards, and she’s grabbed eight or more in 16 of 27 appearances overall. She’s averaged 8.1 rebounds at home compared to 6.9 on the road, and Collier has corralled at least eight rebounds in 11 of 16 at Target Center.
The Seattle Storm have surrendered the second-most rebounds per game this season at 35.9, and Collier pulled down nine and 10 rebounds in two head-to-heads.
She’s hit the Over on this line in five straight home games, and I expect Collier to extend that streak in tonight’s favorable home matchup.
Storm vs Lynx same-game parlay (SGP)
Napheesa Collier Over 7.5 rebounds
Nneka Ogwumike Over 26.5 points + rebounds + assists
Over 164.5
Nneka Ogwumike has averaged 27.7 PRA this season, though she’s been even more productive as of late.
Across her last 13 games, she’s posted 30.1 PRA, and hit the Over eight times. She averaged 29.6 PRA across three matchups with the Minnesota Lynx and hit the Over twice.
With at least 27 PRA in three of her last six road games, I expect Ogwumike to have another strong showing tonight,
Over the last two seasons, the Storm and Lynx are 4-2-1 to the Over in seven head-to-head matchups, including three straight Overs.
This season, the Storm have averaged 82.2 points, and the Lynx have averaged 86.7. Over the last 10 games, they’ve averaged 84.9 and 89.1 respectively.
Both teams are top-5 scoring offenses in that span thanks to strong contributors across the rosters, and I expect a high-scoring affair in Minneapolis.
