Given their star power, the Storm have been underachieving on the offensive end ranking ninth in scoring. Seattle last played on Tuesday. The Storm have used this extra practice time to work on their offense. I'm expecting that to show in this matchup.

The Mercury are averaging 88.3 points a game during their last three games, not including two games against the Lynx, the No. 2 defensive team in the WNBA.

Seattle is better than average on defense, but not in the Lynx's class.
