Storm Hit Their Stride
The Seattle Storm’s scorching run can be attributed to their “Core Four,” all former WNBA All-Stars: Jewell Loyd, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Nneka Ogwumike, and Ezi Magbegor.
- Loyd spearheads the offense, averaging 18.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. Diggins-Smith perfectly complements her with a well-rounded stat line of 14.8 points and 6.1 assists a night.
Ogwumike brings a potent combination of scoring and playmaking to the forward position, averaging nearly 18 points, 7.3 rebounds, and almost two steals per game.
- Magbegor anchors the defense down low, averaging a near double-double with 13.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.
The Storm are 10-6 against the spread on the season, and 4-2 against the spread at home. The Storm have gone over in three of their last five games.
- The Storm currently have the fifth shortest WNBA finals odds at +1200. They have the talent to win it all this season, but a slow start has oddsmakers a bit apprehensive.

Fever Back on Track
The Fever started the season terribly, but are just now seeming to get back on track. Leading the charge is rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, averaging an impressive 16.3 points and 6.6 assists per game.
Her backcourt mate, Kelsey Mitchell, now leads the team in scoring with 16.4 points per game, and Aliyah Boston is a force on the boards, grabbing an average of 7.9 rebounds per game.
The Fever are on a roll, having won four of their last five games, and recently ending a four game winning streak in a one point loss to the Chicago Sky.
- The Fever have covered in each of their last five games, and the total has gone over in each of them as well. Indiana is 2-4 against the spread on the road in their last six games, and are 5-5 against the spread on the road so far this season.
Caitlin Clark is a force like we’ve never seen when it comes to driving ratings & ticket sales in the @WNBA . “All other games” (any that don’t involve the @IndianaFever )are still +1,100 over 2023.
