It's a Wings game, and while they are known for high-scoring affairs, most of their points tend to come in the second half when opposing defenses start to relax. Meanwhile, the Storm are a strong first-half under team.

Since the Olympic break, the Wings have actually gone 7-5 to the under in the first half, including 6-3 to the under when they are the underdog. On the other side, the Storm are 8-3 to the first-half under, and they are a perfect 4-0 to the under as road favorites, which is their spot today.

Looking at more trends that favor the under, the Wings are 9-2 to their first-half team total under since the Olympic break. Specifically, they are 4-1-1 to the under as home dogs. However, they are 5-1 to their team total over in full games, further proving that their scoring comes heavily in the second half of their games. Additionally, when less rested than their opponent, the Wings are 2-0 to their team total under in the first half.

All signs point to the Storm limiting the Dallas offense early in the game. Plus, with this being the Storm's fifth road game in their last six outings, travel fatigue could impact them as well, slowing the pace to start the game.

I’m taking the 1H under in this matchup.
