00:00We've got to talk about my best bets and my favorite things for you all to keep an eye

00:08on for tonight's rollout. Now, we talked about the Liberty versus the Storm. I've mentioned

00:15it a number of times here. I do really like the over. Initially, I had it listed at 163.

00:20It only bumped up by a point, but I think that it's a shoo-in. You got two teams that

00:24are obviously able to get the points there. And then you've got one team that can kind

00:29of slip off defensively. So regardless, I just think that 80-80-plus for both of these

00:33teams can hit in. Then I have the Storm to cover the spread. Also made that case. They're

00:37not a team that you want to count out by any means. They have a point to prove right now,

00:41and they can show up a little stronger in the defensive column sometimes. Something

00:45they could take advantage of tonight. It wouldn't be a WNBA card without Kaitlyn Clark on it,

00:52right? So I'm going to take Kaitlyn Clark for a double-double plus value at 100 here.

00:57I mean, she's been tremendous over the last couple of weeks. She's not only been a pillar

01:01for her team, but she's been able to help serve up her team. Kelsey Mitchell, for instance,

01:05to get in the best promising position possible. And then of course, Angel Reese. I'm not going

01:09to leave her off the card tonight. We're talking about one of the biggest rookie matchups and

01:13showdowns going on. Reese for rebounds. I think I have her at 14-plus rebounds. And

01:21another person who's just been so consistent in that column. As I talked about at the top

01:25of the show, rebounds is one of her largest categories. And when she knows she's going

01:29against Kaitlyn Clark, she's probably going to get a little hot in that point column also.

01:34And then closing out my card, I've got the Lynx first quarter winner. This just seemed

01:37to have a little bit more value to me because like I mentioned a moment ago, yes, you can

01:42probably go with the mini money line, which is such a tongue twister for me. The mini

01:47money line, which seems like the easy go-to, but again, the wings can pull in a little

01:51bit of an upset or slow down the game enough to make it irritating. So I didn't really

01:55want to play with any point totals on this one. I didn't want to play with the spread

01:59on this one. It could either be a shoe in game or can get really messy. But as for the

02:03first quarter, the Lynx coming out and setting a tone. Absolutely. The wings trying to slow

02:07down the game while they're trying to slow down the game. They're putting their opponent

02:11in a position to come out hot and at least strike up those points. We've seen the Lynx

02:15do it in a number of first quarters. So taking them as an outright winner at good value is

02:20something that I don't think you want to overlook. So this is my play card for the

02:24night. First play card of WNBA today. A lot of great games to roll through, but you're
