Seattle Looking to Build Off Its First Victory
Seattle enters this matchup with a 1-1 record and already owns a road victory after recently winning over Connecticut 89-82. Before that result, the Storm recently lost to Golden State 91-80. Looking further back, Seattle recently won over Portland 91-81 and recently lost to Golden State 78-76 before also recently losing to Las Vegas 74-73 late last season. The recent stretch has shown both competitive performances and some inconsistency, but the offensive production in the win over Connecticut was encouraging.
The Storm are averaging 84.5 points per game while allowing 86.5 points against. Seattle is shooting 43 percent from the field and averaging 36.5 rebounds and 15.0 assists per game. Defensively, the Storm are also producing 6.5 blocks and 7.0 steals per contest through the early part of the season.
One key area for Seattle entering this matchup is interior defense and shot blocking. The Storm hold a major edge in blocks compared to Toronto and have shown they can compete offensively when games open up. The concern has been consistency on defense after allowing 91 points to Golden State earlier in the schedule.

Toronto Searching for Its First Win at Home
Toronto enters this contest with an 0-1 record and an 0-1 mark at home. The Tempo recently lost to Washington 68-65 in a low-scoring game and also recently lost to Minnesota 73-66 and recently lost to Connecticut 83-78 in the earlier stretch provided. Despite the winless start, Toronto has kept games relatively competitive defensively, especially in the most recent matchup where the Tempo allowed only 68 points.
Toronto is averaging 65.0 points per game while allowing 68.0 points against. The Tempo are shooting just 27 percent from the field while averaging 37.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game. Toronto has also averaged 2.0 blocks and 10.0 steals through the opening stretch of games.
The biggest weakness for Toronto has clearly been offensive efficiency. The Tempo are averaging only 65 points per game and shooting 27 percent from the field, both significantly lower than Seattle’s offensive numbers. Defensively, Toronto has remained competitive, but the offense will likely need to improve if the team wants to secure its first victory of the season.
Seattle Storm vs Toronto Tempo Picks and Prediction
Seattle Storm vs Toronto Tempo Pick
- Pick: Seattle Storm +3.5
Seattle looks like the better value in this matchup because the Storm have shown much more offensive consistency through the early games. Seattle is averaging 84.5 points per game compared to Toronto’s 65.0 points per contest, and the Storm also hold the advantage in field goal percentage and blocks. Toronto’s defense has kept games close, but the offensive struggles are difficult to overlook after scoring 68, 66, and 78 points in recent games. With Seattle already owning a road win and carrying the stronger offensive profile into this matchup, taking the points looks like the stronger play.
Seattle Storm vs Toronto Tempo Total Pick
- Pick: Under 166.5
I lean toward the under because Toronto’s games have consistently stayed lower scoring due to offensive struggles and defensive competitiveness. The Tempo are averaging just 65 points per game while allowing only 68 points against. Two of Toronto’s three recent games finished with 133 and 139 total points, which is well below this number. Seattle has shown more scoring ability, but Toronto’s pace and defensive style make this total feel slightly too high based on the recent results provided.
Final Score Prediction: Seattle Storm 82 – Toronto Tempo 74
