Tempo vs. Fire, Julie Allemand, 2026 WNBA Season

The Toronto Tempo’s downward spiral has continued as they enter tonight’s contest on a 12-game losing streak. In desperate need of a turnaround, the Tempo will take on fellow expansion squad, the Portland Fire, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC.

Under 182.5 Points (-110)

In their first season in the WNBA, the Tempo have made a lasting impression as one of the league’s most high-octane squads. With an electric offence and a mediocre defence, Tempo games often turn into a firefight. While this has been the trend for the bulk of the 2026 season, look for this trend to be bucked as the Fire vs. Tempo finishes with Under 182.5 points scored.

In both of their previous meetings this season, the score has been under 182.5 points. In fact, the Tempo have struggled to reach this point total as of late, finishing with Under 182.5 points in six of their last eight games played, which includes their last contest against the Fire. Much of the same can be said about the Fire who’ve finished below this target score in three-straight games, as well as four of their last five.

With both teams leaning toward the Under lately, ride this trend into tonight’s showdown as fewer than 182.5 points are expected in the Fire vs Tempo matchup.

Brittney Sykes 3+ Assists (-180)

While they still haven’t found their way back into the win column, there’s no doubt that the Tempo’s play has been elevated since the return of guard Brittney Sykes. Able to impact the game at every level, look for Sykes to take the reins of the offence as she dishes out 3+ assists against the Fire.

In her lone head-to-head appearance against the Fire this season, Sykes had no problem distributing the ball to open teammates, finishing the clash with five assists. Over her last six games played, Sykes has finished with three or more assists five times, demonstrating her terrific ability to orchestrate for her team in the flow of the offence.

Primed to help nab you an easy boost to your bankroll, back Sykes to continue her stellar passing showcase, piling up 3+ assists in a hurry, and helping provide a winning edge to her Tempo squad.

Kiki Rice Over 20.5 Points, Assists, & Rebounds (+100)

Beginning to hit her stride in the pros, look for Tempo rookie Kiki Rice to showcase her skills to the crowd in Vancouver as she fills up the box score with Over 20.5 points, assists, & rebounds this evening.

Throughout the 2026 season, when Rice has been given enough playing time, she’s absolutely balled out. In the 10 games where she’s played 24+ minutes, Rice has finished nine of those games with Over 20.5 PAR. A high-volume scorer with solid basketball IQ, Rice naturally plays her way into loaded box scores, stuffing the stat sheet as she pulls out all the stops to help bring her team across the finish line.

Set to take on a Fire team that she recorded 27 PAR against in an early season start this year, look for Rice to make up for the missing input of top contributors like Marina Mabrey in the Tempo lineup, finishing with Over 20.5 points, assists, & rebounds, and netting you a juicy +100 payday.
