Phoenix at Seattle

Diana Taurasi is listed as questionable for Phoenix, and Breanna Stewart appears to be out for Seattle as she hasn't played since Sept. 7 due to a foot injury. There has been no report of her progress. However, the defending champions Storm won't go down easily, and they beat the Mercury the last meeting, 94-85, on Sept. 17 while shooting 53.8%. Brittney Griner scored 26 points in that game, but it wasn't enough, and if Seattle can keep the ball out of her hands as New York did on Thursday the Storm will be in good shape. Jewell Loyd exploded for 37 points for Seattle in the last meeting, and she will be the key to this game. The Mercury barely got by the Liberty after losing their final three regular-season games, and they are 0-5 ATS their last five with two days rest. Seattle has covered seven of its past nine as a home underdog. Take the Seattle Storm.
