Phoenix Mercury vs Seattle Storm Prediction
We already have notable names listed out for this contest, but I’d check the report later in the day to make sure there’s no more changes. Neither the Mercury nor Storm have anything to play for, as they’re both locked into their playoff seeds. With that said, I’ll lean toward the Mercury at home and the free bucket. The Storm have been shaky on the road, while the Mercury are coming off back to back wins and probably would like to keep the positive mojo going after a couple of rocky weeks. Again, check the injury report later in the day before locking in anything.
