Chicago has spent the last two weeks finding new ways to lose games it led. The Sky ran off a 12-0 fourth-quarter run at Las Vegas on July 3 to force overtime, then scored four points in the extra session and lost by eight. Sunday at Dallas they led by eight in the fourth and lost 96-91, with Azura Stevens and Kamilla Cardoso both posting double-doubles in defeat. Courtney Vandersloot said it plainly afterward: they're not making the plays when they need to. Seattle is 6-19 and I'm not going to dress that up. This is a bad basketball team, and a worse one on the road. But they're 13-10 against the spread, and that gap between the record and the number is the whole point here. Natisha Hiedeman has scored at least 15 in four straight, including a career-high 31 on Sunday. The Storm have also won four straight meetings against Chicago, the most recent 79-69. Laying points with a 7-16 club that has handed away two straight fourth quarters is asking for more faith than this market deserves. We're on the Storm with the points this afternoon.

Seattle is on a 10-4 run OVER the total, which included a 94-88 win over Chicago, sailing OVER by 24 points. Take Chicago/Seattle OVER the total.

Seattle at Chicago
8:00 PM Eastern
Seattle has gone OVER four of six, including its 85-82 loss to Phoenix on Sunday, even though the Storm missed 18 of 22 3-point tries. The Mercury shot 48 percent and had five double-figure scorers. Chicago went OVER against Golden State on Friday, but it was due to another poor defensive effort by the Sky, who have allowed an average of 84.8 points in their past four games. Angel Reese is still out with a back injury, and that has hurt the Sky on both ends of the court. Seattle put up 95 points in the only meeting this season on July 24. Take the OVER.
