CHICAGO +7 ( 3 units )pod
My largest wager of the day will be on the Chicago Sky. I definitely think Indiana laying 7 points is an overlay, they didn't do much in the off season while Chicago added depth in all areas with the biggest addition being 3rd overall pick Courtney Vandersloot. Chicago was one dimension last year playing a slow methodical pace utilizing BIG SYL in the paint, but had no perimeter game. Vandersloot is the real deal, she's been playing along side Sue Bird at the USA WOMENS national evaluation camp. They'll have a lot more options with CV running the point she can knock down shots any time teams decide to double team Fowles.I'm also gonna throw in the revenge factor as INDIANA swept Chicago last season winning all five games. GETTING 7 POINTS IS HUGE IN THIS GAME. THIS LOOKS LIKE AN EARLY ODDSMAKERS ERROR.
PHOENIX + 8 ( 2 units )
Should the Storm be laying 8 points in this game ? I agree they do have huge home court advantage. After all they were 17-0 at home last year finishing the regular season with record of 28-6 but only a modest 17-15-2 ATS. Phoenix has lead the league in the scoring the past five years but their achilles Heel has been their defense. The signing of Nakia Sanford will help them immensely and Marie-Ferdinand Harris will give them a boost coming off the bench. Taurisi was kicked out of Turkey this winter for who knows what, so she is well rested.
CONNECTICUT -4 -115 ( 1unit )
TULSA +8.5 ( 2 units )
good luck as always
