Las Vegas at Seattle

The Las Vegas Aces won the WNBA Championship and return 4 starters from that group. They also brought in Candace Parker who should provide rim protection. The Seattle Storm has been a playoff fixture for the last 7 years, but this year will be a challenge. They lost Sue Bird to retirement and Breanna Stewart to New York. The Storm is considerably over-matched here, and I think they are going to have to try and slow the game down. Seattle still has a lot of experienced players and they do have a good fan base that will show up. They are also at home so I think they can succeed in shortening the game. Make the play under the total.
