Storm vs Mystics Prediction
The Storm just beat the Mystics a couple of days ago at home as a similar underdog, and I’m supposed to believe this game will be different. The Storm always has a solid home crowd, and they’re coming off their best two showings of the season. Also, the Storm got back Katie Lou Samuelson and Awa Fam, who both played well in their season debuts. They’re only going to get better with more reps under their belt. We backed the Storm in the first meeting between these teams. I’m doing it again. Give me the points.
