🏆 Who will win Storm vs. Dream?
I like the Dream to beat the Storm by nine points today. The Dream have the fourth-shortest WNBA championship odds, so it makes sense that they would be such a heavy favorite over the Storm, who have the second-longest odds to win outright. However, the spread is too high in this game, so I'll be taking the points as my best bet.
Score prediction: Dream 89, Storm 80
💰 Storm vs. Dream prediction & best bet
Storm +10.5 (-105)
I get it; the Dream are the much better team and should snap their five-game skid, but a 10.5-point spread is aggressive. Atlanta hasn't won a game by 11+ points in six straight outings. The last time it did so was June 20.
It has allowed 81+ points in three straight games, including a 15-point loss to Seattle on June 27. Yes, the Dream will likely win, but not by 11+ points. Storm +10.5 (-105) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting sites. I would make this line Storm +9 (+100) at fair odds.
🔥 Best Storm vs. Dream player prop bet
Natisha Hiedeman Over 14.5 points (-122)
Hiedeman is having a career year with the Storm. She is averaging 15.4 PPG and has gone over this line in nine of her last 11 games. The Dream struggled to defend her the last time they met on June 27, as she scored 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field, including 2-of-5 from beyond the arc. Expect more of the same today.
Hiedeman Over 15.5 points (+101) is actually the best line available among the top sports betting apps, as buying from 15.5 to 14.5 isn't worth 23 cents. However, I'll use Over 14.5 (-122) at FanDuel for my personal tracking since it's a widely available line, and it would be misleading to recommend a bet that most readers can't get down on.
