Seattle at New York

The Seattle Storm has been a top team in the WNBA for several years. They got out of the gate slow, but have now won five straight games. The Achilles heel of this team has been playing on the road, and they will be in trouble in this one. Their five straight wins has most believing that this team is back in form, but this is not the same team they have put on the floor the last several years. Swin Cash and Lauren Jackson are no longer playing, and they were the No. 2 and No. 3 scorers for the Storm last year. That loss has put the burden of the offense on Sue Bird, and here numbers are down shooting, as well as her 3-point shooting. The Storm are subject to scoring droughts. The Liberty are just 4-9 but 1-7 vs. teams over .500 and have a winning record against those that are not. The Storm are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight as a road dog, and the Liberty are well rested for this one and are 11-5-2 ATS on three days or more rest in their last 18. Play on New York.
