Toronto Tempo vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Storm here. It’s not easy to lay this many points with a 7-win team, but the Tempo have a slew of injuries to their top talents that are missing for this game and those injuries and absences are going to continue to catch up. The Storm have been a disappointment this season but any opportunity this team gets to make it up to the fans down the stretch, I think they’ll take especially when they’ve been at their best at home this season. I’ll back the Storm in this one.
