Seattle at Sacramento

The Seattle Storm took a big blow when leading scorer and rebounder Lauren Jackson went down to a calf injury. This is a thin Storm team to begin with, and that injury makes the depth even thinner. She takes with her the 20 ppg she has averaged in the three wins vs. Sacramento, and that in itself means that the Monarchs are playing with triple revenge and will be up for this one. The loss of points will hurt the Storm, but will hurt even more is the loss of her rebounding as the Monarchs are the top rebounding team in the league, and after a horrible start, they have played much better. I've gotta go with the motivated home team over an injured, and declining team from a year ago to begin with. Sacramento gets the call here. The Monarchs are also 7-2 to the OVER in their last nine off a day's rest. The Storm is 4-1-1 on the road and the last six to the OVER. I'm going with the OVER in this one as well.
