Wings vs Storm Prediction
The Storm are a profitable bunch despite all of the losses, as they’ve cashed 20 tickets. This team competes, but they’re also awful offensively and are still down Hiedeman, their best consistent scorer. The Wings are coming off a big win over the Fever, and while that does create a letdown spot, this is also a capable team fighting for seeding. If the Wings want to get out of the eighth seed and avoid the Lynx, they need to string wins together. No excuses here against the worst team in the league. I’ll lay the points.
