As the favored team, the Storm are currently set at -10 on the spread, with an over/under of 153.5. The moneyline indicates the Storm as strong favorites at -525, while the Valkyries are positioned at +390 for an upset.
In terms of recent performance, the Storm enter the game on a three-game winning streak, while the Valkyries are looking to build on their own momentum with back-to-back victories. Even though Golden State has a 4-5 record, they have shown competitiveness this season, going 6-3 against the spread.
A challenge for Golden State comes with roster changes, as key players Julie Vanloo, Cecilia Zandalasini, and Janelle Salaun have gone overseas for EuroBasket competition. Salaun’s absence is particularly significant as she is the Valkyries’ third-leading rebounder. This opens opportunities for other players, notably Monique Billings, who is expected to take on a bigger role, especially in securing rebounds.
For those looking for specific betting insights, targeting Billings for over 5.5 rebounds (-130) stands out as a solid bet given her proven ability to grab rebounds, especially with increased playing time available due to roster changes.
Overall, while the Storm are anticipated to maintain their winning momentum, the Valkyries will aim to keep the contest close, adding an intriguing dynamic to this matchup. The game promises an exciting battle under the bright lights of the Chase Center.
