We've got to talk about my best bets and my favorite things for you all to keep an eye
00:08
on for tonight's rollout. Now, we talked about the Liberty versus the Storm. I've mentioned
00:15
it a number of times here. I do really like the over. Initially, I had it listed at 163.
00:20
It only bumped up by a point, but I think that it's a shoo-in. You got two teams that
00:24
are obviously able to get the points there. And then you've got one team that can kind
00:29
of slip off defensively. So regardless, I just think that 80-80-plus for both of these
00:33
teams can hit in. Then I have the Storm to cover the spread. Also made that case. They're
00:37
not a team that you want to count out by any means. They have a point to prove right now,
00:41
and they can show up a little stronger in the defensive column sometimes. Something
00:45
they could take advantage of tonight. It wouldn't be a WNBA card without Kaitlyn Clark on it,
00:52
right? So I'm going to take Kaitlyn Clark for a double-double plus value at 100 here.
00:57
I mean, she's been tremendous over the last couple of weeks. She's not only been a pillar
01:01
for her team, but she's been able to help serve up her team. Kelsey Mitchell, for instance,
01:05
to get in the best promising position possible. And then of course, Angel Reese. I'm not going
01:09
to leave her off the card tonight. We're talking about one of the biggest rookie matchups and
01:13
showdowns going on. Reese for rebounds. I think I have her at 14-plus rebounds. And
01:21
another person who's just been so consistent in that column. As I talked about at the top
01:25
of the show, rebounds is one of her largest categories. And when she knows she's going
01:29
against Kaitlyn Clark, she's probably going to get a little hot in that point column also.
01:34
And then closing out my card, I've got the Lynx first quarter winner. This just seemed
01:37
to have a little bit more value to me because like I mentioned a moment ago, yes, you can
01:42
probably go with the mini money line, which is such a tongue twister for me. The mini
01:47
money line, which seems like the easy go-to, but again, the wings can pull in a little
01:51
bit of an upset or slow down the game enough to make it irritating. So I didn't really
01:55
want to play with any point totals on this one. I didn't want to play with the spread
01:59
on this one. It could either be a shoe in game or can get really messy. But as for the
02:03
first quarter, the Lynx coming out and setting a tone. Absolutely. The wings trying to slow
02:07
down the game while they're trying to slow down the game. They're putting their opponent
02:11
in a position to come out hot and at least strike up those points. We've seen the Lynx
02:15
do it in a number of first quarters. So taking them as an outright winner at good value is
02:20
something that I don't think you want to overlook. So this is my play card for the
02:24
night. First play card of WNBA today. A lot of great games to roll through, but you're
02:30
not going to want to miss it as we get through this WNBA season, as we figure out who's going
02:34
to pop to the top for that WNBA championship. So every Friday, you're going to want to be
