Wings Keep Things Competitive Vs. Spiraling Storm
There is strong reasoning that backs the assumption that WNBA betting sites set this line wrong and are giving too many points to the Storm.
Starting with the Wings and their production through their first seven games, while they’ve gone 1-6 to start the year, they’ve remained competitive with their opponents. In those seven games, they’ve covered +8.5 points five times.
As for the Storm and their betting production, they’ve only managed to cover -8.5 points once. In fact, they’ve gone down a massive spiral in their recent games. After starting the season 3-1, they’ve lost three straight since, bringing them to a 3-4 record.
On offense, there is also a wide gap as the Wings are a top-4 offense in the WNBA while the Storm are a bottom-4 offense. The Wings have a +6.3 advantage over the Storm averaging 85 PPG while the Storm are down at 78.7 PPG.
With all in place, the Wings spread as an underdog is a safe bet to make against a struggling Storm.
