The Seattle Storm (21-19) have been a mystery all season. They break winning streaks and have blown away the #1 seed Minnesota Lynx twice this season.
At the same time, they had suffered elongated losing spells, like their six-game losing streak earlier this month.
On the other hand, the Chicago Sky (9-29) has been in tatters. Chicago has lost three in a row for the sixth time this season.
The power duo of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso has promise, but needs to minimize their turnovers.
Can the Sky use their fantastic duo to pull off a surprise? Here is my favorite Same Game Parlay and the prediction.
Angel Reese is enjoying a fantastic sophomore season. She is tallying 14.4 PPG and 12.6 RPG. The forward has accumulated four straight double-doubles.
Reese has scored 14+ in three of the last five games and has pinned down 10 or more boards in four straight games. I expect her to put up at least 13 points here and grab at least 11 rebounds here.
Thus, another double-double is on the horizon.
Reese O 12.5 Points and O 10.5 Rebounds
Here is an overview of the selections:
Picks | BetMGM Odds |
Reese O 12.5 Points and 10.5 Rebounds | Undefined |
Diggins O 5.5 Assists | Undefined (Projected -120) |
Cardoso O 10.5 Points and 5.5 Rebounds | Undefined |
Spread: Sky +11.5 | -110 |
Diggins is one of the most stellar passers in the league. Her ability to nail long passes and then hand over short passes in tight spaces is something to behold.
The vet playmaker is averaging 6 APG. Diggins has distributed 5+ assists in four of the last seven games. The porous Sky defense can help her hit the mark again.
Diggins O 5.5 Assists
The Sky center has shown remarkable improvements on the scoring front. She has also been a reliable rebounder. Carodoso has tallied 13.4 PPG and 8.2 RPG.
She has collected 16.8 PPG and 9 RPG over the last five games. I expect her to score at least 11 while hauling in at least 6 rebounds.
Cardoso O 10.5 Points and O 5.5 Rebounds
The 5-leg SGP has a lot of requirements, but all are within expectations. There is not a single pick that deviates from the norm, so as to make a secure SGP.
But you can make the best SGP at times and fail because one of the legs was barely missed. Still, this is where the fun lies, too.
Storm vs Sky SGP: Reese O 12.5 Points and O 10.5 Rebounds, Diggins O 5.5 Assists, Cardoso O 10.5 Points and 5.5 Rebounds for +240 at BetMGM
For all their flaws, the Storm are 4-1 in the last five matches. The schedule was easy, but the win against the top-seed Lynx was really impressive.
On the other hand, the Sky has been in dire straits. They have lost a lot, but three of their last four losses were fewer than seven points.
Cardoso, Reese, and Ariel Atkins are fighting hard to improve the win column.
But I think the Storm will give them another jolt as they did 10 days ago in a 94-88 win. At any rate, i still expect the Sky to cover the bloated spread of around 11 points.
Dream vs Wings Prediction: Spread: Sky +11.5 for -110 at BetMGM

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
