The Storm showcases a 34.6 percent proficiency from beyond the arc and a 77.6 percent effectiveness from the free-throw line. On the defensive end, they contend with a 36.5 percent shooting rate from deep and an average of 34.1 rebounds secured per game.
The Storm are underdogs with a price of +185 on the money line. The implied probability of the +185 odds is 35%. Those seem like solid odds, but I don’t like the Storm’s chances in this game.
I would not recommend betting on the Storm to win this game.
From a betting perspective, the Atlanta Dream have struggled to cover the spread in their recent road encounters, failing to cover in their last 4 away games.
Conversely, the Seattle Storm have managed to cover in 4 of their last 5 games and hold a record of 4-1 ATS in their last 5 overall.
Although the Atlanta Dream may seem like logical favorites, their consistency in covering spreads must be addressed. The Seattle Storm have demonstrated a recent resurgence, secured home-court advantage, and exhibited commendable ATS performance.
While a Dream blowout is within the realm of possibility, the Storm’s potential cannot be discounted. Consequently, the prudent choice leans toward the Dream.
The Dream are favored with a price of -225 on the money line. The implied probability is 69% at that price.
I would recommend betting on the Dream despite being on the road.

Total Points
There is tremendous value to be had on game totals. I don’t see this game being a high-scoring affair.
| Team | | | |
| Over 165 Points | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 165 Points | -110 | -110 | -110 |
Additionally, trends point toward the under in both teams’ recent performances, with the under-hitting in 11 of the Dream’s last 12 games and 5 of the Storm’s last 6 games overall.
