Storm vs Sun Prediction
The Storm are still down a handful of players and that’s why this line is this soft. We’re seeing more parity in the league and it’s hard to compete when you’re down so many players. However, the Storm are at home, where they have a solid home court and they’re playing the Sun, who are quickly looking like the worst team in the league. The Sun are coming off their best effort yet, but overall, they haven’t played a lick of defense. Even down five roster spots, the Storm should be able to take advantage of this spot. I’ll keep fading the Sun until they prove me wrong. I’ll lay the bucket with Seattle.
