Storm vs Mercury Prediction
The Storm were fantastic at home last season, and they’re one extremely experienced team that’s probably going to win most of the games they’re supposed to win. They should be favored. However, the Mercury have been impressive through two games, and they’re doing this without Copper. Of course, one of those wins was against the Storm, winning 81-59 as a six-point underdog. Sabally and Thomas have hit the ground running and are giving the Mercury some bite offensively. We’ll see if this success can translate to the road, but the Mercury have been arguably the most impressive team through the first week. Give me the points.
