Since Brittney Sykes came to Seattle, it has meant lower numbers for Gabby Williams.
She is averaging 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the four games Sykes has been with the Storm, and it makes sense, as Sykes is a big stats player.
Gabby has cleared this total in only one of the games with Sykes and mostly has been going under easily.
Best Bet: Gabby Williams Under 8.5 Rebounds & Assists
