Seattle Storm vs. Phoenix Mercury

Quick read:

Expect a fast-paced game where possessions extend thanks to rebounding on both ends, with Seattle and Phoenix combining for over 63 rebounds per game. Those extra possessions alone give the offense more chances to pile up points.
Seattle’s 33.4% shooting from beyond the arc paired with Phoenix’s 32.6% marks a mutual willingness to fire from deep, which tends to inflate scoring totals. When both teams shoot like this, a 160-point ceiling isn’t exactly a ceiling at all.
The only hitch is that totals can be quirky if defenses stiffen unexpectedly, but given these shooting and rebounding numbers, the odds of a slow, grind-it-out defensive slog seem low—unless both teams suddenly develop a taste for low-scoring boredom.
