Storm vs. Sparks Prediction
Take Dearica Hamby to go under 6.5 rebounds. Oddsmakers have adjusted Hamby’s rebounding numbers significantly over the last 24 hours because this same prop last night was 7.5. Hamby finished with only three rebounds last night, which was her lowest rebound total since an August 25 matchup at Dallas (she also had three rebounds that night). She has been trending down in rebounds for quite a while and seeing as how her and the Sparks just played last night, I’m willing to bet that her minutes will be capped around 29 again.
