|---|---|---|
| Storm –6.5 | Storm –265 / Wings +215 | 169 |
Key Storylines
- The Wings got 44 points from Paige Bueckers against the LA Sparks on Wednesday night. But they still couldn’t beat the Sparks after allowing a buzzer-beater to Kelsey Plum.
- Star guard Arike Ogunbowale remains out for the Wings with knee tendinitis. That will only require more out of Bueckers on the offensive end of the floor.
- Seattle has won two of their last three games after a rough stretch. Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins will need to stay in rhythm to help the Storm get another important win here.
- The Storm are at .500 for this season but need to keep winning in order to avoid dropping out of a playoff position in the West.
Head-to-Head & Betting Trends
- The Storm are 2-1 against the Wings so far this season.
- Road teams are 2-1 in the games between these teams.
- The Storm are 10-8 on the road so far this year.
- Dallas is 5-13 at home in the 2025 WNBA season.
Best Player Props to Watch
| Player | Prop | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Nneka Ogwumike | Over 17.5 points | Ogwumike has scored 45 combined points in her last two games and Dallas lacks interior defense without Li Yueru. |
| Paige Bueckers | Over 19.5 points | Bueckers scored 44 points on Wednesday and should see high usage again in this game. |

Final Thoughts
The Storm need to win this game on the road to avoid putting themselves in further danger of missing the playoffs. I think they will get that win, but it won’t be all that easy. Bueckers should have another big game for Dallas and the Wings should cover the number even if they ultimately fall short against a Storm team playing with a sense of urgency.
