Best WNBA picks for Storm vs. Liberty (odds subject to change):

Seattle Storm +5.5 (-105)

The Storm have won five of their last seven games, including an 80-79 win at Atlanta on Thursday. Forward Nneka Ogwumike helped pace the Storm with 24 points, seven rebounds, three steals and two assists in 32 minutes of action. She scored 26 points, while adding seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the first meeting with the Liberty. For the season, she is averaging 17.4 points per game.

“While the Liberty got back on track in the win column in their last game, they still failed to cover against the Sparks – a sign of their continued struggles without Jonquel Jones,” Wetzel said. “Now, they face a Seattle frontcourt with Ezi Magbegor and Nneka Ogwumike that can take advantage of Jones’ absence. Seattle won the first matchup this season by 10, and while this one will be on the road, that’s still an indication of how well the Storm match up with the Jones-less Liberty. Grab Seattle getting nearly two full possessions here.”

Nneka Ogwumike over 6.5 rebounds (-140)

Ogwumike is averaging 7.8 rebounds per game this year. She has grabbed seven or more rebounds in three of the last five games, including the last two. She also had seven boards in the win over the Liberty at Seattle.

“The biggest area where New York feels the lack of Jonquel Jones is in the rebounding department,” Wetzel said. “That should benefit Nneka Ogwumike, who is over this line in 12 of 18 games this season, including the first meeting with New York. The -140 juice is worth the price here, as this will likely close at 7.5. Take it now to make sure you cash on the seventh rebound – a mark Ogwumike has landed on four times this year.”
