Phantom vs. Lunar Owls betting picks and predictions

Lunar Owls -8.5 (-110)

Lunar Owls star Collier is dominating the league in its early run. She leads everyone with 29.3 points and 11.8 rebounds per contest. The four-time All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist was unstoppable against Phantom on the first go-round. 

Collier, Gray, and Diggins-Smith of the Lunar Owls are arguably the best-performing trio in the league.

Gray, a former WNBA Rookie of the Year, is fourth in scoring at 19.2 points per game, while Diggins-Smith, a six-time WNBA All-Star, is going for 15.3 points per game. WNBA veteran Courtney Williams is adding nine points per game.

Meanwhile, Phantom were buoyed by the return of three-time All-Star and 2024 WNBA champion Ionescu. She averaged 22 points in the team’s 1-1 weekend and is right behind Gray and fifth in the league in scoring with 19 points a game. Her 6.3 assists per contest lead the league.

Sabally is eighth in scoring at 17.7 points and is adding six rebounds per game. Griner is going for 15.2 points and 6.2 rebounds a game.

Phantom have lost four games by an average of 17 points. That includes the 24-point pasting by Lunar Owls the last time these two teams met.

Ionescu’s return should aid in that regard, but she has been on the court for the other three losses, including the league’s worst result so far, an 83-48 opening weekend loss to Laces.

Look for Lunar Owls to stay undefeated and cover the spread as 8.5-point favorites.    

Under 142.5 Total Points (-110)

The only chance Phantom have in this contest is keeping Lunar Owls off the scoreboard as much as possible.

Phantom have only topped 142.5 points combined with their opponents once so far.

Lunar Owls has accomplished that in four of six games to date, but did come just under that total when they met Phantom a couple weeks ago. 

It should be close, but look for the teams to post similar totals this time around and total Under 142.5 points.
