This Seattle team is picking apart the WNBA and will be the odds-on favorite to cut down the nets come playoff time. They aren't explosive offensively, but precise, and their defense is a cut above which contains their games to medium-sized totals. They have only played to games totaling 167 points or more six times this season, and all but one of them was vs. what I call an "extreme" opponent. Phoenix is one example of a team that simply plays reckless and fast on both ends, and four of the six were vs. them. Tulsa is another extreme - an example of an extremely bad team, which makes five. The only legit game this team played over this many points was vs. New York, and that took 59% shooting from 3-point land by Seattle, and 50+% shooting from the field by New York. Seattle has put so much distance between themselves and the rest of the West that they have been cruising and this is a huge game for Atlanta, and just the presence of Seattle will get them going. I like Atlanta and the UNDER here.
