Prediction: Phoenix Mercury VS Seattle Storm 2025-05-23

The Phoenix Mercury, led by the unstoppable Satou Sabally, are looking to stay undefeated as they take on the Seattle Storm. Sabally has been on fire, averaging 26 points per game, including a 27-point performance against the Storm just last week. The Mercury are 2-0, and their defense, which is second in the WNBA in defensive rating, will be key in their rematch against the Storm.

The Storm, led by Skylar Diggins, will try to avenge their season-opening loss and slow down the Mercury's duo. However, without Kahleah Copper, the Mercury will rely on Alyssa Thomas and Sabally, who combined for 47 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in their debut against the Storm.

The odds are in favor of the Storm, with the Mercury as 6-point underdogs. However, considering the Mercury's recent performance and their defense, I'm going to take a chance on the underdog. My best bet is the Phoenix Mercury +6.0 at 1.91 odds. The under has also cashed in six straight meetings between the two teams, making the under 157.5 a tempting bet, but I'm going to stick with the Mercury to cover the spread.

The Storm will try to make adjustments to slow down Sabally, but I think she'll still find a way to dominate. The Mercury's defense will be the key to their success, and I think they'll be able to contain the Storm's offense. Take the Mercury +6.0 and get ready for a thrilling matchup!
