The biggest weakness for the Fire in their inaugural season has been their rebounding. They’re last in the WNBA in rebounding rate, grabbing just 43.9% of available rebounds. The worst mark in the league by 2.2%. Let’s try to take advantage of that by betting on Brittney Skyes of the Tempo to go OVER 4.5 rebounds. She’s averaging 4.3 per game, so if she can reach one more than that, we’ll cash this plus-money prop.<\/p>\n
Fire vs. Tempo Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
The Fire are just one game below .500 at 2-3, but their underlying numbers look less than promising. They’re 14th in the league in net rating at -11.4. Only the Connecticut Sun (-15.2) are worse in that metric. The Fire also have a turnover rate of 16.6% and, as I wrote above, have been abysmal at grabbing rebounds.<\/p>\n
That all gives Toronto a significant advantage, especially considering the Tempo are playing on their home court. They have a net rating of -0.2 this season, which is good enough for 10th, but well above the Fire at -11.4.<\/p>\n
I’ll lay the points with the Tempo in this one.<\/p>\n
