The WNBA will take a six-day break for All-Star festivities, but not before delivering a five-game Wednesday slate. Today’s slate tips off early, as the Golden State Valkyries take on the Seattle Storm in the middle of the all-day affair.
My Valkyries vs. Storm predictions and WNBA picks expect the home team to come through with a big win, led by do-it-all guard Gabby Williams.
Valkyries vs Storm predictions
My Valkyries vs Storm best bet: Storm -4.5 (-108 at DraftKings)
The Golden State Valkyries have provided one of the best stories of the WNBA season. The expansion team was not expected to be great in its inaugural run, but the V’s are 10-11 straight up and 13-8 ATS.
Golden State has won and covered in both head-to-head matchups with the Seattle Storm, but in spite of the V’s success, I’m rolling with Seattle here.
Both Golden State and Seattle have fared better at home this year, and the advantage here lies with the Storm. Golden State’s two victories against Seattle came at Chase Center, where the V’s sport a 7.7 net rating. They have been 12.1 points better in the Bay compared to their -4.4 net rating on the road.
Likewise, Seattle owns a 6.8 net rating at home compared to a -0.1 net rating on the road.
Home-road splits figure prominently into today’s pick, and I’m taking the Storm to cover in front of the home crowd and get back in the win column
Valkyries vs Storm same-game parlay (SGP)
Storm -5.5
Gabby Williams Over 22.5 points + rebounds + assists
Under 157.5
Gabby Williams is in the midst of the best statistical season of her career, averaging 13.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, good for 22.8 PRA. She’s racked up at least 23 PRA in 13 of 22 games this season, going for exactly 22 in two more.
Over her last five home games, Williams has averaged 23 PRA and cleared the Over three times.
The Storm are 12-10 to the Over this season, while the V’s are 8-13 to the Under. Over their last five, each team has hit the Under three times, and they’ve hit the Under in both head-to-head matchups.
Golden State sports the fourth-best defensive rating (99.2), and Seattle sports the sixth-best at 99.7. In a clash of strong defenses, I expect a lower-scoring contest.
