San Antonio at Seattle

The Seattle Storm had a long stretch of being amongst the elite in the WNBA, and have all the dynamics for being exceptionally strong at home. One of those dynamics is their willingness to play defense. While this team is just 5-8 to start the season, they drew the short straw in regards to scheduling as 10 of their first 13 games have come on the road. They have not lost at home since the season opener, and this team is always strong at home. As a result, the home court value is being diluted with the unbalanced schedule that had them play 10 of 13 on the road. San Antonio is off a big win against LA where they racked up 101 points. They won't get nearly that many vs. the Storm who allows just 74 points per game and that is to a highly-unbalanced schedule, with most of the work done on the road. San Antonio has not won a game all year if they scored fewer than 78 points, and I don't see them getting there tonight. Lay the points on Seattle.
