Seattle vs. Chicago – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Seattle -9.5 | Total: 156.5
Seattle Storm Outlook
The Storm (14-10) are hoping to get star guard Skylar Diggins back after personal issues kept her out of Tuesday’s game, where they were crushed 87-63 by Dallas. Without Diggins, Seattle’s offense lacked rhythm, shooting just 30.7% from the field and 4-for-21 from deep.
Nneka Ogwumike continues to carry the load, dropping 22 points on efficient shooting, while Gabby Williams and Ezi Magbegor added some support. Still, the Storm’s perimeter struggles are a major concern. Seattle is 6-4 over its last 10 games and knows this road trip is crucial for keeping pace in the Western Conference playoff race.
Seattle Player Prop Pick: Nneka Ogwumike Over 18.5 Points – Ogwumike is the primary scoring option when Diggins is out, and she thrives in favorable matchups like this one.
Chicago Sky Outlook
The Sky (7-16) have been in freefall, riding a three-game losing streak and coming off a brutal 91-68 loss to Minnesota. Turnovers were the killer, 23 of them despite Angel Reese (11 points, 11 rebounds) and Kamilla Cardoso (10 points, 10 rebounds) posting double-doubles. Guard Kia Nurse led the team with 16 points but emphasized that cleaner entry passes and better spacing are essential to avoid wasting possessions.
Ariel Atkins, who is key to Chicago’s playmaking, sat out the last game with a leg injury, leaving more offensive responsibilities on Nurse and Reese. The silver lining? Reese continues to make history, becoming the first player in league history with multiple 10-game double-double streaks. Chicago needs her to dominate the paint again if they want to cover against a tough Seattle team.
Chicago Player Prop Pick: Angel Reese Over 11.5 Rebounds – Reese has been a rebounding machine all season, especially against teams that settle for jump shots like Seattle.
Prediction & Betting Outlook
Seattle’s defense and interior presence should give them a significant edge, especially if Diggins returns. Chicago’s turnover-prone backcourt is a major liability, and Seattle is well-positioned to exploit it. Look for the Storm to control the pace and pull away late.
Best Bet: Seattle -9.5
Toral: Under 156.5
Final Score Prediction: Seattle 82, Chicago 71
