We&#8217;ve seen defenses struggle with fatigue in these spots, leading to higher scoring. The total has already steamed higher on Sunday morning, and we think <mark style=\"background-color:#7bdcb5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">LA\/LVA over 171.5<\/mark> is worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><br><strong>Seattle Storm @ Indiana Fever<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fever: 18-9 O\/U.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Fever have consistently hit the over, while the Storm have been more of an under team. With a Baller System active on the under, we\u2019re opting to pass on this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Chicago Sky @ Phoenix Mercury<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sky: 6-2 1H ATS as road underdogs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teams on the second game of B2B are 14-3 O\/U this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Two angles stand out here. First, the Sky are on the second game of a back-to-back, a scenario that has been a strong indicator for the over. Additionally, there&#8217;s a Baller System active on the over for rematches within a week where the total has increased from the previous game. The last game closed at 162.5 and went well under; yet, this game\u2019s total being set at 166 is telling. Chennedy Carter&#8217;s presence will be a boost for the Sky\u2019s offense, but expect their defense to struggle in the second game of a B2B. We think the <mark style=\"background-color:#7bdcb5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">CHI\/PHX over 167<\/mark> is an interesting look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, there are two Baller Systems active on the Sky. Our observation is that the Sky have been a much better first-half team. They are 6-2 1H ATS as road underdogs, and being on the second game of a B2B, we like the <mark style=\"background-color:#7bdcb5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Sky 1H +4.5 (-110, Caesars) <\/mark>before fatigue sets in during the second half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s WNBA Betting trends.
