Seattle StormvsPhoenix Mercury

SEA 73/PHX 93

ABCMortgage Matchup Center
The preview

Two of the worst records in the league colliding today as the Seattle Storm (3-13) roll into Phoenix to take on the Mercury (4-12) in what is basically a race to the bottom at 3 PM on ABC. Phoenix gets the nod at home and opens as a 7.5-point favorite, which feels steep when neither squad has figured out how to string wins together this season.

The over-under sits at 161.5, so oddsmakers are at least expecting some buckets even if the defense isn't exactly inspiring fear. Bold call: Seattle steals one on the road — they've been close in a few of these lately and a 7.5-point spread against a team sitting 4-12 is just asking to get burned.
