On Thursday 27 August 2026, Seattle Storm play Toronto Tempo in the WNBA. Our model likes 4 bets here. The one it likes most is Toronto Tempo +7.5 on the Line, priced at -135 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.
Toronto Tempo has been in solid scoring form lately, while Seattle Storm has struggled, creating a tough matchup for them. This bet on Toronto to win by 7.5 points looks promising because our numbers suggest they have a good chance to cover that spread. However, Toronto has had to travel a long distance, which could make things tricky for them. Overall, it seems like a smart pick for this game. It was priced at -135 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $17.40 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Awa Fam Under 5.5 Rebounds (+110)
Odds available at BetOnline at time of publishing
Seattle Storm have been struggling lately, winning just one of their last ten games. They give up a lot of rebounds, allowing opponents to grab about 35.5 boards per game. Awa Fam, playing for the Storm, will have a tough time against the Toronto Tempo, who are also not in great form but tend to force turnovers and disrupt plays. The odds are close to even, which shows this could go either way. With both teams having issues lately, the risk for Fam getting more than 5.5 rebounds is real. If the game stays tight and the rebounding battle is fierce, he might not hit that mark. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Jade Melbourne Under 5.5 Assists (+110)
Odds available at William Hill at time of publishing
For Jade Melbourne to get under 5.5 assists tonight, she needs to find fewer open teammates than usual. The Seattle Storm have been struggling, winning only 1 of their last 10 games. They also allow opponents to shoot a lot of three-pointers and grab plenty of rebounds, which could lead to fewer chances for assists. On the other hand, the Toronto Tempo have also had a tough time, winning just 1 of their last 10, and have been falling behind big in games. This could mean less time on the court for Jade to rack up her assists. With both teams facing challenges, the chance of Jade getting under 5.5 assists looks pretty solid, but the risk is that if she gets extra minutes, those assists could add up quickly. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Dominique Malonga Over 21.5 Points and Assists (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Dominique Malonga needs to score points and dish out assists tonight for Seattle to hit the Over on 21.5. She has been on fire lately, averaging more shots and making more free throws than usual. With her recent performance, she's also getting more offensive rebounds and assists, which helps boost her overall numbers. Toronto Tempo might give her a tough time, but Seattle's home court advantage and Malonga's scoring form make this a solid pick. The biggest risk is that the teams are closely matched, so every point counts. Still, she has a good chance to shine tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Seattle Storm v Toronto Tempo. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
