NBA Best Bets of the Day (12/2)
Alex Christenson
Get ready for an exciting four-game slate in the WNBA Thursday. The highlight of the evening is the two “Old School vs. New School” matchups featuring Angel Reese vs. A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark vs, Skylar Diggins-Smith. We’ll be focusing on the latter for our bets.
Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm
The Storm will look for their third straight win against the Fever. Seattle has been lights out on the home floor, and I expect that to continue against the Fever, who are allowing the most points per game in the WNBA (87.9 PPG). The previous two games in this matchup have been high-scoring, and I expect no different here. I have a four-leg same-game parlay featuring Caitlin Clark, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Ezi Magbegor.
- The Fever allow the second-most points to opposing guards and the sixth-most assists. Diggins-Smith had only 2 points and 5 assists in the first meeting against Indiana but backed that up with an 18-point, 5-assist performance in the second meeting.
- The Fever allow the second-most points to opposing forwards. Magbegor scored 14 and 15 points in the first two meetings against the Fever.
- The Storm are the second best at limiting opposing guards’ assists, but Clark was able to rack up 7 and 9 assists in their previous two head-to-heads.
WNBA Best Bet
