Seattle vs Washington – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Seattle -4.0 | Total: 154.5
Seattle Storm Outlook
The Seattle Storm are looking to avenge their recent loss to Washington and are entering this matchup as the favorites. After back-to-back sluggish performances with just 67 and 63 points against Golden State and Dallas, Seattle exploded offensively with a 95-57 demolition of Chicago. Skylar Diggins led the way with 21 points, shooting 50% from the field and beyond the arc, finally breaking free from her shooting slump.
Seattle’s success hinges on Diggins’ offensive rhythm and the supporting play of Nneka Ogwumike and Ezi Magbegor in the frontcourt. Their interior presence will be critical against a Washington team that previously beat them 74-69 on July 13. If the Storm can dominate the paint and maintain their defensive intensity from Thursday’s win, they have a strong chance to cover the spread.
Seattle Player Prop Pick: Skylar Diggins Over 15.5 Points – Her bounce-back game against Chicago suggests she’s back to her efficient scoring ways.
Washington Mystics Outlook
Washington (11th in scoring at 78.8 PPG) has found some recent offensive life, hitting 80-plus points in consecutive games against the Sparks. However, defensive breakdowns have plagued them, especially in the paint. Los Angeles outscored them 96-70 inside across two matchups, exposing their biggest weakness.
Sonia Citron, the Mystics’ All-Star rookie guard, has struggled recently, recording her first back-to-back single-digit scoring games of the season. To pull off another upset over Seattle, Washington must protect the paint, rebound aggressively, and avoid another disastrous second quarter like the ones that buried them versus Los Angeles (outscored 57-21 combined).
The Mystics proved in their earlier win over Seattle that controlling the boards and scoring inside can flip the game’s momentum. If Citron and the supporting cast heat up offensively, Washington has a shot to cover at home.
Washington Player Prop Pick: Sonia Citron Over 14.5 Points – After two quiet games, she’s due for a bounce-back effort.
Prediction & Betting Outlook
Seattle’s superior star power and renewed offensive rhythm make them the more reliable side. Expect Diggins to set the tone early, while Washington struggles to keep pace if their defensive lapses continue.
Best Bet: Seattle -4.0
Toral: Over 154.5
