Jim Turvey's Storm vs. Sky Prediction
I've got Kamilla Cardoso under 10.5 rebounds. Obviously, part of this is Angel Reese popping up on the injury report, but I think I like this play regardless. Cardoso is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game in this stretch, while Reese has been off the court. So, I don't mind this even if Reese doesn't play.
I think we're getting a bit of value baked into the unknown here, and it's a play that I'm intrigued by without Reese. However, I will obviously love it if Reese plays. If you look at Cardoso's rebound rate with Reese on the court, it plummets. Ironically, she scores worse with Reese off. They have a nice little two-player game there with Reese creating space for Kamilla. So, I don't want to do PRA as I don't want to do anything with the points.
I don't want any of those that seemingly would be impacted by Reese being back — rebounds are really the target here. Seattle does allow a decent number of rebounds, but I really don't mind that. Cardoso had four rebounds in their most recent outing and nine in the game before that. So, she's been going under this line relatively often. She's had some big rebound games, but with the chance to get Reese back and a number that I think is just a little bit high, I don't mind paying a little bit of juice on 10.5 rebounds.
Best Bet: Kamilla Cardoso Under 10.5 Rebounds
