Portland Fire vs. Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m on the Storm here. It’s crazy having to lay multiple possessions with the Storm, but I think that’s just where we are at in this spot. Seattle’s the team in better form right now and I think the Storm take care of business at home here. Give me the Storm.
