SATURDAY SLAM DUNK CLUB: GOING FOR 9 STRAIGHT WINNERS!
(WNBA) Storm (SEA) vs. Mercury (PHX),
Total: 156.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Win
AT 10:00pm ET, my Slam Dunk selection is on Seattle Storm vs Phoenix Mercury Over. This marks the third encounter between these two rivals this season, with both prior games finishing under the total. However, following break-out offensive performances by both teams in their most recent outings, I anticipate a higher-scoring contest this time. In my previous analysis for Phoenix's last game, where I also favored the over, I noted: "Phoenix faced Minnesota in two of its last three games. Against a non-undefeated opponent in their most recent matchup, the Mercury scored 85 points. In their last home game against a non-undefeated opponent, they scored 94." Phoenix delivered with 86 points, resulting in an 86-77 final that exceeded the low total. With another low total set for this game, I believe it will again prove too conservative. The Storm, coming off an 83-point performance in their last game, further supports the case for a higher-scoring outcome. Both teams top the 80 mark and the final score sails over the low total. Play on the Over.
