Connecticut Sun vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. This to me just feels like a first to 80 wins kind of game and I think that it just ends up being lower-scoring because the Sun are not a good basketball team and the Storm are having some serious issues with Dominique Malonga looking like she’s missing this game with a concussion. I think the under cashes here.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Under 168.5
