Rebuilding Seattle is a big dog off a bad loss. But they will get better, with top draft pick Breanna Stewart joining last season's rookie of the year, guard Jewell Loyd. Stewart, the top overall draft pick, had 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting in her pro debut. Seattle plays hard for this coach, after losing badly at Chicago late last season (93-65), the next game they were a big road dog at Minnesota and lost just 73-67. Seattle outscored Minnesota 21-11 through the first eight minutes of the fourth in that game. Phoenix is home from a disappointing two-game trip, losing at Indiana the last game as five-point favorite. They are #11 in the WNBA in points allowed (96 points per game), #10 in rebounds and ninth in assists. The team isn't in synch yet with the return of Diana Taurasi, after she sat out last season. Take the points on Seattle.
