One major strength for Seattle entering this matchup is rebounding. The Storm own a sizable edge on the glass compared to Connecticut, averaging 41 rebounds per game while the Sun are averaging 32. Seattle also enters with a stronger scoring average after producing 80 points in the opener despite facing a difficult Golden State team.
Connecticut Returns Home Seeking Improvement

The Sun recently lost to New York 106-75 after previously recently lost to New York 79-67 during preseason play.

The biggest challenge for Connecticut entering this matchup is defense.

Connecticut will likely need stronger defensive execution to keep Seattle from controlling the pace offensively.
Seattle Storm vs Connecticut Sun Picks and Prediction
Seattle Storm vs Connecticut Sun Pick
- Pick: Seattle Storm -1.5
Seattle looks like the stronger side entering this matchup despite opening the season with a loss. The Storm hold advantages in scoring, rebounding, and overall matchup projection while Connecticut struggled heavily defensively in its opener. Seattle also showed stronger balance statistically despite the defeat against Golden State. With the Storm expected to control the rebounding battle and Connecticut still searching for defensive consistency, Seattle has value laying the small number on the road.
Seattle Storm vs Connecticut Sun Total Pick
- Pick: Over 161.5
I would lean toward the over in this matchup because both teams enter after high-scoring season openers. Seattle’s game against Golden State finished with 171 total points, while Connecticut’s matchup against New York produced 181 points. Neither defense looked particularly sharp during the opening games, and both teams showed enough offensive production to create another game that pushes beyond the total.
Final Score Prediction: Seattle Storm 84 – Connecticut Sun 78
