Storm vs. Lynx Preview
The Storm face off against the Lynx on Thursday night in what could be a Playoff preview. The Lynx are firmly in first place while the Storm have continued to slide down the standings.
The Lynx were bolstered by the return of Napheesa Collier last game when she dropped 32 points in her first game back from injury. She’s the clear MVP favorite right now and reminded everyone of that.
The Storm are the worst rebounding team in the league by rebound percentage (46.9%) and this presents a good opportunity for Phee to crash the glass. She’s recorded 9+ in 7 straight games against the Storm.
Her combo prop for Points + Rebounds (PR) is set at 30.5, and while the hit rate is not as good for her against the Storm on PR, I think this is the better angle. We have significant upside in each stat and Phee is averaging 33.1 PR this season when she’s played 30+ minutes.
Storm vs. Lynx Prediction
The Storm are sliding, and while the Lynx do not need to push too hard at this juncture, they can lock the 1 seed in soon and coast the rest of the way. I’ll back Phee as she gets her reps in down the stretch.
Best Bet: Napheesa Collier Over 30.5 Points + Rebounds (-114, FanDuel)
