Seattle at Tulsa

Seattle winds up a four-game trip here and has been playing great, winning four of six. They were a dog the last game at San Antonio and won 79-72. The Storm led by as many as 22 and shot 56.9 percent. They are third in the WNBA in points allowed, amazing in that they've played only three home games vs. nine road games. The Seattle Storm is 23-9 ATS playing on one days rest, plus 14-5 ATS in their last 19 Sunday games. Tulsa (3-5) has opened a four-game homestand with three consecutive victories, but this is a weak team not used to winning, so let's be careful about putting them in the roll of favorite. The Shock haven't won four in a row since August of 2009! Despite the mild win streak, Tulsa is still in second to last place. Grab the underdog playing strong defense. In addition, the first half will be high scoring. Seattle is on a 4-1 run OVER the total, and the OVER is 5-0 in their last five road games. This is still a weak Tulsa defense, sixth in the WNBA in points allowed and eighth in the league in field goal shooting defense. Seattle is even worse, at 10th in field goal shooting defense allowing 44.9%. Tulsa is 5-1 OVER the total on one days rest, plus 5-2 OVER the total against a team with a losing record. Tulsa is off a win over Los Angeles scoring 43 first half points and 26 second half points. Meanwhile, Seattle put up 43 first half points against San Antonio the last game to go with 36 second half points. The value is with an uptempo first half.
