Thursday Wubble

YTD: 13-10

Sky vs Liberty

The Sky starting to play some good ball with good wins against the Aces, Dream and Mercury in their last 4 games and a lone loss against the Sun. Liberty are spiralling out of control and I cannot touch them one bit. The line might be Sky -12 and a total of 168 but the Liberty has scored 64 in their last 2 games and really have nothing to play for now. Liberty missing just Ionescu who I dont think will return this season and the Sky appear to be missing Parker as of right now. That may change. The Sky have got the next four games vs the Liberty and the Fever so they really could go 4-0 before they face the Storm and Lynx. They are 8-4 and if they are 12-4 after the next four, that would put them in a great position to finish top 4. 

Fever vs Storm

Bad news for the Fever, Tiffany Mitchell is out with a hand/wrist injury and thats a big loss. She was their second leading scorer with 14 points per game and they are already missing Mavunga and Vivians has left the bubble so they are going to be real short tomorrow against the Storm. Storm got Prince back last game and she was looking good on the court. They do have the Aces the following game but they are deep enough with their bench to cover a DD line so I don't think there would be a "look ahead" situation for them as I think they are just taking each game as they come. The Fever did sign Alecia Jenkins which I don't know much about but I doubt she sees too much court time tomorrow. Thinking this line will be Storm -12.5 and 160 total. 

Aces vs Sun

What happened to the Aces in the second half vs the Sky? Completely fell apart and as I said before, they face the Storm after this game. They would want to make sure they are dialled in for this Sun game tomorrow so they can go into that Storm meeting  9-3 as they face the Storm, Wings and then Storm again in their next 3 after this game. They sit in third right now, and as explained above the Sky could really take over the Aces with their easy schedule coming up and the Lynx could also take over Aces in the seedings so a win for the Aces against the mediocre Sun is a must tomorrow. No injuries for the Aces or the Sun. The Sun play the Liberty after this game and this line should be Aces -7 and 165 total.

BOL everyone... Its crunch time now for some teams as they only have 10-11 games left. 

We have some lines...

Sky - 14.5 and 163.5 

Don't have spread for the Storm/Fever game but total of 163.5

Aces -6.5 and 160.5 

Those lines are pretty sharp IMHO. 

My spread guesses were similar  ...my book hasnt loaded lines yet

My book loads lines so late. Don’t have them yet but I looked elsewhere and they’re already big numbers. Sky -15.5, Storm -16, Vegas -7. 

Good luck today. 

Great call yesterday Aussie. For tonight's games, which one you looking mate to cap?

wish i trusted myself with Dream yesterday. barely covered but still don’t see how Mystics were such big favs. i think at this point you just need to bet the Storm and fade the Liberty every single game until they prove otherwise. Aussie not sure if you’ve noticed but in addition to dominating pretty much every full game, Storm have covered 7 straight 1H lines

that girl Magbegor for Storm might be the third best player in this draft class when it’s all said and done. she would be the best player on the Liberty right now and could start for a few other teams at just 20 years old

Thanks mate, was a little closer than expected as the Spars took their foot off the gas but got there in the end. Looking at the Storm/Fever and Aces/Sun game mate. No play on the first game. You just don't know what Sky team will turn up. They have the potential to have 20 turnovers in a game and after solid wins against the Dream and Aces, I cant lay that many points. On the other hand, I also cant take the points because this Liberty team might go down in the short WNBA history as one of the worst teams ever. 

Magbegor is Aussie. Watched her the last two seasons in the WNBL and she is definitely our brightest star coming through the ranks. She has great work ethic and just phenomenal agility and skills. Love watching here play. She chose to go to the bubble this season because she has worked so hard and what a smart decision. Playing alongside the likes of Bird and Stewie will just give her so much more confidence. Can't wait to see what she can do here in Oz in this upcoming season. 

Yeah the Storm has just been ripping teams apart 1H. They come out firing and what is even more impressive is that when Stewie and Howard are having an Off night, the other team mates pick up their slack. Their minutes rotations are great as well for a short, quick season. Rarely do any of the players go over 30 mins per game. Just a great strong team with great bench depth. 

Good luck tonight, Oz!

Goodluck Aussie 

No play on the Storm game, Bird is resting tonight. Canada should draw the start. I liked the over but then Indy just lost their 2nd best scorer which doesn't leave much offense for them. 

 Las Vegas Aces vs Connecticut Sun: Aces -6.5

Bill Laimbeer "I don't think we played with any enthusiasm" after their loss to the Sky. As I write this, the Storm are down 73-65 vs the Fever. If there isn't enough enthusiasm in this game tonight vs the Sun to get them into 2nd spot, only 2 wins behind the Storm (if Storm lose vs Fever) then I don't know what they need. If they lose tonight, they can drop to 4th as the Lynx and Sparks would overlap them. Sun playing well against certain teams like Wings, Fever and they got a nice scalp when they beat the Sky 77-74 but Bill needs to wake him team up for this game. The Aces play the Storm next as well so its real chance if they can win tonight (and hopefully cover) and also maybe, just maybe beat the Storm on Saturday they could be in a really good situation to try and get top seed. If they lose tonight and then also lose against a Storm team coming off a loss, they would be 8-5 with only 9 games to go. So they need to take advantage of these games as they blew it last game against the Sky. 

Now there’s some quality handicapping!

Good luck Oz man, after Laimbeer's squad gave up 82 and 86 to Chitown in 2 losses I gots to believe we see some lock down D tonight so I'ma play Conn TT under 78.5 for some 33 bags 

it's Lima time, it's my time now

WOW a 33 bagger Wagers... haven't seen that for a long time buddy. Lets hope for a nice 85-71 Aces victory 

thanks buddy also throwing a 33 bagger on 3rd qtr over in Blazers game, hope to get it at 58.5 wish me luck mate

I do actually like that play. This 1H has been slow and painful at the best of times. The Lakers were -7.5 before tip, up 9 with 3 to go in the half. If they take a decent lead into the half you can guarantee the Blazers will come out firing 2H, make a game of it and then Lakers pull away. 

Wagers 

You certainly know how to live on the edge... Half a point win. 

Makes the top 5 very interesting

Storm 11-2
Aces 9-3
Sparks 8-3
Lynx 8-3
Sky 9-4

6th spot is now Mercury with a 6-6 record. Tomorrow's game is massive for them if they want to pick up ground. 

Sparks play the Dream tomorrow so that should put them equal with the Aces at 9-3. Lynx has a tough game against the Mercury and then Saturday Storm vs Aces duke it out. Sky like I said before, has the Fever up next and then the Liberty again followed by the Fever. Strange schedule but very winnable for them. 

W for you tonight 

Another W for Aussie. Cheers lad
