Golden State Valkyries vs. Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. I think the one thing that mostly translates for Golden State going on the road, away from the Chase Center where they were so good last season, has been their defense and I think they slow down a Storm team that’s been one of the least effective in the WNBA this season. On the flipside, I think the Storm keep this one lower-scoring and whether it’s competitive or one-sided, I still think the under is the way to attack this game so give me the under.
