Storm vs Wings Betting Pick
This game will be played at College Park Center at 8:00 PM ET on Friday, June 10, 2022.
Last week, the Dallas Wings went to Seattle and demolished the Seattle Storm in a game that was never all that close. On Friday night, the Storm go to Dallas with revenge on their minds as they hope that some improved health helps them even the season series with the Wings. In our WNBA predictions for Friday night, we examine Storm vs Wings in a game between two teams looking to move up in the standings to improve their future playoff prospects.
Why Bet The Storm:
✅ The Storm lost to the Wings last week in blowout fashion, but they were missing two key players in Ezi Magbegor and Sue Bird. Magbegor is leading the WNBA in blocks per game, while Bird is top-three in assists per game this season, and having them both back will be huge. Combine that with Mercedes Russell having just returned to the court in that loss to the Wings, and she should be more effective off the bench on Friday night.
✅ Seattle is 0-2 on the road so far this season, which may discourage bettors from backing them here. But those two road losses came against the heavy favorites to win the title in the Aces and against the Mercury while Breanna Stewart was out with COVID. Dallas is just 1-2 at home this season, and the Storm should be able to drop them to 1-3 on their home floor.
✅ Rebounding was the key to the first meeting between these teams this season. The Wings outrebounded the Storm 42-31, collecting a ton of offensive rebounds in the process. Magbegor’s return will help even things up on the glass, as the Storm didn’t have a true big to close out possessions with defensive rebounds in the first matchup between Dallas and Seattle.
Seattle Storm
This season has not started off as well as most for the Seattle Storm, as they enter this weekend with a 6-5 record, good for seventh place in the WNBA. On Friday night, they look to kick start their ascent up the WNBA standings with a win over the Dallas Wings. For that to happen, the Storm will need to be much better than they were the first time these two teams met this season.
Seattle shot under 20% from three-point range in that first meeting, and were clearly impacted by the absences of Ezi Magbegor and Sue Bird. Those two will be back in the lineup for the Storm for this game, and the question is whether their returns are enough to help the Storm slow down a Wings offense that is always capable of putting up huge offensive numbers.
Dallas Wings
The Dallas Wings come into this game having lost three of their last four games, sitting at 6-5 and in sixth place in the WNBA standings. The reason the Wings are ahead of the Seattle Storm despite both teams having the same record is the head-to-head tiebreaker between both teams. Dallas crushed the Storm in Seattle in their lone meeting of the season so far, with that win serving as Dallas’ lone win over their last four games.
In this contest, the Wings have a much tougher task ahead of them, even if they are on their home floor this time around. Seattle’s roster is in a much better place from a health perspective, and the Dallas defense will be tested much more consistently by a Storm team that will approach this game with a sense of urgency.
