Washington Mystics vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m backing the Storm here. I get the case to be made for an underdog in spots, but there’s been a pattern for the Mystics this season, and that’s that they beat up the bad teams but far more often than not fail to rise to the level of the good teams and the Storm for me are still an above average, maybe top-4 team in the WNBA. I think Seattle defends home court where they’ve been at their strongest by far this season and I think it’s worth laying the points here.
