Seattle is the better team between the two, especially when Seattle is at home. That is where they play their best ball and their defense is more intense. They face a Mercury team that has been floundering for weeks and hasn’t been able to win a string of games. Allen and Osborne are still out for the Mercury. Seattle is still fighting for a playoff spot and they have beaten the Mercury already at home this season. This is a good spot for them as they are playing the better ball and they should win and cover this spread with their lock down defense. Seattle is 5-1 against the spread in its last 6 games when playing Phoenix. Phoenix is 2-4-1 against the spread in its last 7 games on the road.

Best bet: lay the points with Seattle.
