The Dallas Wings and Seattle Storm meet Tuesday in WNBA action at the Climate Pledge Arena. The Dallas Wings look for a win after splitting their last 8 games. The Seattle Storm look for a win after winning 10 of their last 13 games.

Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 19.5 points and 2.8 rebounds, while Allisha Gray is averaging 14.2 points and 5.6 rebounds. Marina Mabrey is the third double-digit scorer and Satou Sabally is grabbing 4.8 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 34.9 percent from beyond the arc and 77.3 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 32.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35 rebounds per game.
The Seattle Storm are averaging 80.7 points on 43.1 percent shooting and allowing 76.2 points on 42.9 percent shooting. Breanna Stewart is averaging 21 points and 7.1 rebounds, while Jewell Loyd is averaging 16.4 points and 2.7 rebounds.

The Seattle Storm are allowing 32.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 33 rebounds per game.
The Wings are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. The Storm are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Wings last 6 overall. The over is 5-2 in Storm last 7 overall. The Wings are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Seattle and 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Dallas Wings are good enough offensively to hang around, and they've competed in the games this season against the Storm. However, the Seattle Storm are looking more and more like the teams of the past that made title runs, and now they're starting to cover numbers for a change. The Storm had a period where they couldn't cover, but they've cashed tickets in 4 of their last 5 games. The Seattle Storm appear to be ready to make that push down the home stretch and flex their muscle as possibly the best team in the league. I'll lay the chalk.
