Prediction: Seattle Storm VS Phoenix Mercury 2025-06-07

The Seattle Storm are set to take on the Phoenix Mercury, and I'm here to give you the lowdown. The Storm, led by the dynamic duo of Skylar Diggins (16.8 points, 6.4 assists) and Nneka Ogwumike (16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds), are looking to take down the Mercury, who are missing several key players, including Natasha Mack, Alyssa Thomas, Megan McConnell, and Kahleah Cooper.

Satou Sabally is having a monster season for the Mercury, averaging 20.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, but she's only shooting 40.5% from the field. The Storm, on the other hand, have a more balanced attack, with Gabby Williams chipping in 14.5 points per game.

The Mercury are 3.05 underdogs, with the Storm favored at 1.38. The spread is set at 6.0 points, with the over/under at 154.5. Given the Mercury's injuries and the Storm's balanced attack, I'm taking the Storm to cover the spread. My best bet is Seattle Storm -6.0 at 1.93.

As for the totals, I think the under is a good bet, considering the Mercury's injuries and the Storm's stout defense. Take the under 154.5 at 1.93.

And if you want to bet on some props, I like Nneka Ogwumike to go over 17.5 points at -110. She's been dominating in the paint, and I think she'll continue to do so against the depleted Mercury frontcourt.

So, there you have it. The Storm should take care of business, but don't expect a blowout. The Mercury will keep it close, but ultimately fall short. Take the Storm to cover, the under, and Ogwumike to go over 17.5 points.
