Vinyl vs. Lunar Owls betting picks and predictions

Lunar Owls -4 (-115)

Collier, the four-time All-Star and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, is co-founder of the league with Breanna Stewart. She’s acting like she owns it right now. Her 31.7 points per game, puffed up by her 37-point output in the win over Phantom, have her atop the league after three games. Her 11.7 rebounds have her tied for second.

Collier, Gray, and Diggins-Smith are a powerful trio. Former WNBA Rookie of the Year Gray is tied for fourth in scoring at 19 points per game, while Diggins-Smith, a six-time WNBA All-Star, is going for 15.7 points per game. WNBA veteran Courtney Williams is adding 10 points per contest.

The Vinyl match up with a potent Big Three of their own. Former WNBA Rookie of the Year Howard is third in the league with 21 points per game, while Hamby is tied with Gray at 19 points per game. Ogunbowale is tied with Diggins-Smith at 15.7 points per game.

The team could not contain Laces’ leading duo of Kayla McBride and Tiffany Hayes. McBride scored 26 points and Hayes had 22.

The Vinyl will test the Lunar Owls better than the Phantom did this weekend, but there is just no stopping Collier right now. Her production has steadily increased, starting with a 27-point opening night performance in a win over the Mist, followed by 31 points in a 79-70 victory over the Rose, and culminating with a 37-point showing against the Phantom.

This will be a great match up of 3-vs-3 sides, but look for the Lunar Owls to stay undefeated and cover the four-point spread.

Total over 142.5 points (-110)

The Lunar Owls are averaging 82 points a game and the Vinyl are right behind them, averaging 80 points per contest. Defensively, the Vinyl are allowing 75 points per game, and the Lunar Owls, on the strength of Saturday’s win, are allowing 69 per contest.

All three Vinyl games have surpassed 142.5 points, with those three contests averaging nearly 156 total points per.

The three Lunar Owls games are averaging 151 points per, with just one of the three falling short of 142.5 points, and that was the blowout over the Phantom.

With Collier, Gray, and Diggins-Smith humming, and with Howard, Hamby, and Ogunbowale ready to keep pace, this matchup should produce a high-flying offensive performance from both teams.

Look for the Vinyl and Lunar Owls to easily surpass the 142.5-point total tonight.
