While the Mercury have already beaten the Storm this season (81-59 on May 17 in Phoenix), Seattle is favored by five points here at home in a nice revenge spot.
But rather than a side, RotoGrinders’ Prop Model has keyed in on a player prop for this game’s best bet: Alyssa Thomas (PHX) under 15.5 rebounds and assists at -110.
This rebounds and assists prop for Thomas looks like a strong under wager based on the current data. The line of 15.5 compares favorably based on our WNBA simulations.
The prop projects to hit 56.43% of the time based on the assumptions, and that represents a 7.41% edge.

Pick: Alyssa Thomas Under 15.5 Rebounds + Assists (-110)
