Phantom vs. Rose betting picks and predictions

Rose -1.5 (-110)

The Rose have suffered from a bit of bad luck to start this season, losing three games by an average of seven points each. The team is as well-rounded as any in Unrivaled, with five players currently averaging in double figures.

That includes Copper, the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP and four-time All-Star, who leads Rose with 16 points and five rebounds a game.

Six-time All-Star and 2022 WNBA Finals MVP Chelsea Gray complements Copper with 14 points and 6.3 rebounds per. Stevens is averaging 11 points and 6.3 rebounds, Reese is adding 10.8 points and a team-high 8.3 rebounds, and Sykes is contributing 10.5 points a game. 

On the other side, Phantom did pick up its first win last weekend, but it also suffered another double-digit defeat and the team has lost three games by an average of 26 points each.

Two-time All-Star Sabally paces the club with 17.8 points plus 5.8 rebounds per game. Nine-time All-Star Griner is going for 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds. 

Meanwhile, three-time All-Star and 2024 WNBA champion Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty averaged 16 points and 5.5 rebounds in the opening weekend, but she was out for personal reasons last weekend. And that is the X-factor here.

The Phantom are missing Ionescu, as well as Hiedeman (illness) and Marina Mabrey (right calf). If all of those players are again out for this contest, the Phantom may not have the depth to stay with the Rose for the duration.

Look for Rose to cover the spread as a 1.5-point favorite and for the team to pick up its second win of the season.

Over 134.5 Total Points (-110)

This Over/Under line feels a tad low and it’s based on these teams' offensive outputs. The Rose are averaging 69.5 points a game, while the Phantom are lower at 62.

It’s the defensive holes of both squads that lend credence to the Over pick here. The Rose are surrendering 74 points a contest, while the Phantom have allowed more than 80 points a contest on average. 

The defensive shortcomings of both squads should be enough of an opening here. Look for the Rose and the Phantom to total Over 134.5 points.
