Storm vs Wings predictions

The Seattle Storm, coming into this game with a solid road record, look poised to make a strong showing. Much of the expectation rests on the shoulders of Jewell Loyd, who's been lighting up the scoreboard with an average of 19.8 points per game. Loyd's agility and sharpshooting have been key factors in Seattle's success this season. Assisting forces like Skylar Diggins-Smith, who's been dishing out 6.4 assists per game, could play a huge role in breaking down the Dallas defense. Not to forget, Ezi Magbegor’s rebounding prowess will be crucial in controlling the paint.

Turning our focus to the Dallas Wings, it's clear they'll be leaning heavily on Arike Ogunbowale. Her ability to drop 22.3 points per game can not be overlooked, and she poses a significant threat from both inside and beyond the arc. On playmaking, Ogunbowale also leads her team with an average of 5.1 assists per game, showcasing her versatility. Additionally, having Teaira McCowan under the hoop pulling down close to 8 rebounds per game gives Dallas a fighting chance on the defensive end and provides opportunities for second-chance points.

Though the Dallas Wings are hungry to snap their losing streak, the Seattle Storm seems too robust overall. Their balanced attack and strong defensive plays, led by veterans and strong leaders, likely give them the edge in this matchup. The Storm’s ability to perform under pressure and their experience in key game situations should enable them to maintain their lead in the series. So, despite Dallas's best efforts and home-court advantage, Seattle might just have what it takes to secure another win against the Wings.
