Storm vs. Wings Prediction: WNBA Picks for Sunday, Aug. 23
My Storm vs. Wings prediction will fade Dallas as a huge favorite before today's matchup at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, on NBA TV.
The Wings are 8.5-point favorites, which feels too high based on their form. They have dropped to the bottom of the WNBA championship odds playoff picture.

🏆 Who will win Storm vs. Wings?
I predict the Wings to win by seven points against the Storm on Sunday. Seattle isn't good on the road as the league's youngest team. The Storm are 2-17 away from home with a net rating of -11. Even though the Wings have struggled of late, they should take care of business today.
Score prediction: Wings 89, Storm 82
💰 Storm vs. Wings prediction & best bet
Storm +8.5 (-110)
This line has climbed two points since opening at +6.5, which has created value on the road side.
Despite Seattle's poor overall record, this team has performed well against the spread. The Storm are 20-15 ATS, marking the fourth-best cover rate in the WNBA.
It's also difficult to trust the Wings as big favorites right now. They are 4-8 since July 20, ranking 10th in net rating at -3.4 (only 2.5 points better than the Storm).
🔥 Best Storm vs. Wings player prop bet
Alanna Smith Under 16.5 points + rebounds (-125)
Wings forward Alanna Smith has returned to the starting lineup, but she could be pushed for minutes once again. Backup big Awak Kuier is coming off a record-breaking seven-block performance against the Indiana Fever. Kuier's defensive presence could be needed to slow down the massive Seattle frontcourt.
Even if Smith's minutes aren't squeezed, she's been a pretty easy fade in her first season with the Wings. Smith has only cleared this points + rebounds line in five of her 29 games this year. Smith is averaging 5.8 points and four rebounds per contest.
With this prop trading as low as 15.5 in the market, I love grabbing bet365's bargain.
🚀 Storm vs. Wings same-game parlay
This Storm vs. Wings parlay has a juicy +600 payout at bet365 despite a pretty simple game script. Dallas can't be trusted as a big favorite, so Seattle should be able to keep the score within three possessions (while still losing). And Smith has multiple paths to losing playing time in an unfavorable matchup. Sign me up.
