Storm vs. Valkyries Preview
The Storm, winners of three straight, hit the road to face a Golden State squad that has won back-to-back contests. The Valkyries are just 4-5 on the season, but have made a habit of keeping things close as they are 6-3 against the spread.
Meanwhile, Seattle has also fared well against the numbers, going 6-4 ATS. Since both teams have played well against the spread this season, I'm going to target a player prop for my Storm vs. Valkyries best bet.
Storm vs. Valkyries Prediction
The Valkyries' rotation is going to look a lot different tonight, with Julie Vanloo, Cecilia Zandalasini and Janelle Salaun all headed overseas to compete in EuroBasket.
Salaun is particularly of note as she's the Golden State's third-leading rebounder and a starter whose minutes are now available. That brings us to Billings, who is actually the team's leading rebounder by rebound rate as she's collected 17.3% of potential rebounds. That's basically in line with her career rate and as long as she gets decent minutes, she should clear this total.
Best Bet: Monique Billings Over 5.5 Rebounds (-130)
