Storm vs Sun Betting Pick
This game will be played at Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, July 28, 2022.
The Seattle Storm and Connecticut Sun are both in the thick of the WNBA playoff race. They are aiming for a top-two finish this season, which would give them a huge advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs. On Thursday, they meet in their first games after the mini Commissioner’s Cup break in the WNBA. In our WNBA picks for Thursday, we break down Storm vs Sun as both teams look for a significant win in Connecticut.
Why Bet The Under:
✅ Both of these teams are in the top-three in defensive rating this season. These teams also rank second and third in the league in points allowed per game, as they have excelled in most key defensive metrics this season. Expect both teams to dig in on the defensive end of the floor in this contest to help this contest go under the total.
✅ In addition to the defensive proficiency of both teams this season, both sides play at relatively slow paces. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the WNBA in terms of pace this year. Those slow styles of play, combined with the ability of both teams to lock in on defense, will be great for the under in this matchup.

✅ These teams combined for 153 points in their first meeting in Connecticut earlier this season. They played a higher scoring game in Seattle, but the home court advantage for the Sun here will help them impose their style on the Storm. That should mean another low-scoring, deliberately paced matchup at Mohegan Sun.
Seattle Storm
The Seattle Storm snapped a two-game losing streak in their last time out, beating the Atlanta Dream at home over the weekend. Seattle currently sits in fourth place in the WNBA standings, one game behind the third place Sun. Here, the Storm could pull even with the Sun in a game that has significant seeding implications as the playoffs draw closer.
For the Storm, the ability to beat the Sun from the perimeter is the key to this contest. These teams are more or less evenly matched on the perimeter, especially with Tina Charles now assuming a starting role for Seattle. But the Storm have an edge from the outside, primarily through Jewell Loyd and Breanna Stewart, and will need to take advantage of that to win this crucial matchup.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun swept a two-game series in Minnesota against the Lynx in their most recent action. They did so without Jonquel Jones for one of those games, as she was in health and safety protocols for the first game of that series. Jones is back now, though, and the Sun will need her and the rest of their stars to play well if they want to beat a tough Storm team.
While the Storm have an edge on the perimeter in this game, the Sun have an interior advantage against nearly every team in the WNBA. Their physicality is incredible through the duo of Jonquel and Brionna Jones. Against an aged Tina Charles and a big in Ezi Magbegor who relies more on speed than strength, the Sun have an opportunity to control the interior en route to victory at home.
