Tip-off is at 10:00 p.m. ET at Footprint Center in Phoenix. The Seattle Storm (4–4) visit the Phoenix Mercury (6–3), with Seattle favored by about 5.5 points. Both teams are seeking momentum: the Storm are looking to build on their recent win, while the Mercury aim to rebound from injuries and inconsistent play.

  • Seattle has covered the spread in two of three away games and won two games in a row after a 0–3 start.
  • Phoenix may still be without Alyssa Thomas (calf), alongside other role players, reducing their frontcourt and playmaking depth.
  • These teams are 1–1 against each other this season—with Seattle earning a road win after dropping the first matchup

Seattle Storm Player Prop Pick: Nneka Ogwumike

The Storm pride themselves on elite defense, holding opponents to just 79 PPG—4th-best in the league. With veterans like Skylar Diggins-Smith, Nneka Ogwumike, and Gabby Williams, they blend perimeter pressure with reliable interior play. The return of former champion roles boosts their chemistry, making them a balanced and resilient unit.

  • Elite Rebounding: Ogwumike is averaging 9 RPG this season, consistently grabbing 8+ boards.
  • Matchup Edge: Phoenix ranks 2nd-worst in rebounding percentage, offering prime opportunities for Seattle’s frontcourt.
  • Role Stability: With Storm emphasizing defense and physical play, Ogwumike is locked in for high minutes near the rim.

Nneka Ogwumike Over 8.5 Rebounds (-102)

Phoenix Mercury Player Prop Pick: Satou Sabally

Phoenix remains dynamic at home (4–1), powered by rookie Satou Sabally (20.3 PPG, 8 RPG) and a strong defensive rating. Without Alyssa Thomas, their frontcourt depth is tested, but Sabally and Lexi Held, alongside veteran presence, lift their scoring and resilience.

  • Scoring Volume: Sabally averages 20.3 PPG and posts multiple 25+ games each season.
  • Usage Up: With Thomas out, she assumes the primary offensive role, taking more shots and free throws.
  • Mismatch Threat: Seattle’s interior isn’t built to contain Sabally’s athleticism, heightening her scoring outlook.
Pick
Satou Sabally Over 24.5 Points (-110)
