Tempo vs. Sky Preview
Action PRO projects Storm guard Skylar Diggins for 16.79 points in their matchup against the Sky tonight, giving us a nice 14.7% edge against the market when compared to her current prop line of over/under 14.5, which is good enough to mark the over with a B+ grade in our system.
Tempo vs. Sky Prediction
Diggins is averaging 12.8 points per game through the first five games of the season, though her production has been somewhat volatile early on. She has surpassed this line just once so far, exploding for 21 points against the Fire in her best offensive performance of the year (so far).
Outside of that outing, Diggins has scored 15, 0, 15, and 13 points, showing that she has consistently hovered right around this number. That consistency near the line is encouraging, considering PRO still expects positive regression heading into this matchup against Chicago.
The veteran guard remains one of Seattle’s primary offensive initiators, and her usage continues to be strong despite the inconsistent scoring totals to begin the season. With the Storm expected to lean on their experienced backcourt and Diggins already flirting with this number regularly, there’s value backing her to clear this line tonight.
Best Bet: Skylar Diggins Over 14.5 Points (-125, bet365)
