Two teams that have consumed a whole lot of losing clash in Seattle on Wednesday, when the Toronto Tempo visit the Storm.
The Tempo have just two wins in their last 19 and find themselves 6.5-point road dogs against the last-place Storm, who have just one W over their last 15.
My Tempo vs. Storm prediction and WNBA picks for Aug. 26 will target the total, with two teams that have struggled mightily on the offensive side of the ball.
Tempo vs Storm prediction
Tempo vs Storm best bet: Under 176.5 -108
The Toronto Tempo are averaging just 83.9 points over their last 15 games, which ranks third-lowest in the WNBA.
Offense will be hard to come by as they’ll be down their top three scorers again: Marina Mabrey (adductor), Brittany Sykes (foot) and Nyara Sabally (calf).
Seattle isn’t equipped to exploit Toronto’s league-worst defense, either, ranking fourth-lowest in scoring at 82.9 points while shooting just 42.8%.
The Under has cashed in both meetings this season, with neither game topping 165 points. With both offenses struggling, I see plenty of value in the 176.5 total.
I’d play the Under down to 169.5 points.
COVERS INTEL: Toronto is not the only team dealing with injuries. Seattle’s Natisha Hiedeman (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday. She leads the team in assists at 4.8 per game and is second in scoring at better than 15 points per contest.
Tempo vs Storm same-game parlay
Kiki Rice has gotten extended time while the Tempo battle through the injury bug, logging at least 30 minutes in five of the last six games, but it hasn’t helped her assist totals, as she's had fewer than six dimes in four of the last six games. Seattle doesn’t do a lot of things well, but they are Top 7 in assists allowed per game.
Let’s stick with the PGs and Flau’jae Johnson, who is coming off a 5-for-10 shooting mark from 3-point range against Dallas.
This is as much a bet on Johnson as it is on Toronto’s poor 3-point shooting defense, which allows teams to connect at a 37.1% clip over its last 15 games. The rook should get enough looks to drill a couple of moneyballs tonight.
