Seattle Storm vs New York Liberty betting tips
Skylar Diggins-Smith has been the leader of the Storm this season, averaging 18.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Expect her to continue her brilliant season against the defending champions. Bet on her to go over 20 points against the Liberty, as she is poised for a big game.
Another one to look out for is Nneka Ogwumike, the Storm’s leading rebounder. However, she will be faced by fierce competition inside, as the Liberty also boasts a formidable frontcourt. It is safe to bet on her going under her average of 7.8 rebounds per game in New York.
Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu will also be one to look out for. In her past two games, she hit three three-pointers, picking up her shooting slack in the previous games. Bet on her to hit three triples once more on the home court.
