Storm vs Wings Predictions, Picks & Odds – 6-13

The 2024 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup continues Thursday night with a matchup between the Seattle Storm and Dallas Wings in Arlington, TX. 

The Storm have won seven of their last eight games and are 3-1 in the Commissioner’s Cup. The Wings are now 0-4 in the Commissioner’s Cup and have lost five straight games overall. 

My Storm vs. Wings predictions run down the spread and total for this Commissioner’s Cup battle as I give my best WNBA picks for June 13 featuring a Nneka Ogwumike prop.

My best bet
Nneka Ogwumike Over 16.5 points (-128 at FanDuel)

My analysis

The Seattle Storm have four losses this season, but three of those are to the same team – the Minnesota Lynx. Against every other team in the WNBA, they are 8-1. This will be the first matchup of the season against the Dallas Wings and because of their head-to-head loss to the Lynx, the Storm are eliminated from the Commissioner’s Cup.

However, this game still counts towards the regular season record and Seattle is trying to keep up with the top teams in the league, currently sitting at fourth in the league standings. The Storm have one of the better offenses in the WNBA and will look forward to facing one of the worst defenses in the league. The Storm average 82.8 points per game and the Wings allow an average of 85.4.  

The Wings especially struggle allowing two-point field goal attempts and the Storm rank third in the WNBA in that very category on offense. Nneka Ogwumike is especially deadly in that area. She averages 11.6 attempts per game from within the 3-point line and shoots 61.5% on those attempts. This has led to an 18.2 point per game average.  

The Wings also struggle in allowing offensive boards to their opponents and second-chance points. The Storm are the third-best offensive rebounding team in the league and Ogwumike averages 1.8 offensive boards per contest. She is coming off a 26-point performance in which she shot 10 of 14 from inside the arc and had two offensive rebounds against a much tougher opponent in the Las Vegas Aces. 

Last week, Dallas allowed a rusty Brittney Griner to shoot 11 of 15 within the arc and tally up 24 points and five offensive rebounds. They will struggle again with Ogwumike, who averaged 20.8 points per game last year against the Wings for the Aces.

30% boost available

I talked about the Wings’ issues with allowing offensive rebounds, and the leading offensive rebounder for the Storm is Ezi Magbegor. She averages 3.1 offensive boards per game and had six in her last contest against the Aces. She averages 9.4 total rebounds per game, and you can get her total at 8.5 here. 

Finally, let’s finish off the parlay with the Storm to win the game outright. The spread is a little too high for me given that the Wings are at home and have been on the cusp of getting rid of the losing streak with close games. This parlay is eligible for FanDuel’s 30% WNBA profit boost.
