Seattle is the best defensive team in the WNBA. New York is the worst. Normally that would be a wash and I would not choose to get involved with the total.

However, circumstances put me on the Under here.

This is a tough spot for the Storm playing an early start day game on the East Coast. I look for the Storm to put their efforts into defense. This is an important game for them with their next two games being much tougher - road matchups against Washington and Connecticut.

The Liberty should play with intensity, too, trying to get into the postseason.

The Under is 10-4-1 in Seattle's last 15 road games The Under also has won seven of the past 10 times when the teams have played in New York.
