Shey Peddy tough left-handed finish SEA vs PHO Dream11

SEA vs PHO Dream11: The WNBA is an amazing league. There are a bunch of wizards who can perform the toughest type of manoeuvres on both ends to get the job done. It is not easy to sustain the momentum in this league as the scoring can be tough as unlike the WNBA, the size difference is huge and the Centers can be as tall as NBA Point Guards at times. Trust me, that only makes it more interesting and relatable as you see 5 foot 6 inches Guard taking it inside hard against much taller players. Anyway, let us jump into the game between the Seattle Storm and the Phoenix Mercury.
The team meet just a couple of days ago as the Mercury beat the Storm 97:77 behind a 22 points night by Tina Charles. The Storm were without Breanna Stewart, who is out due to the annoying COVID-19 and despite a 26-point outburst by Jewell Loyd, the Seattle defense couldn’t keep the Mercury at bay. The Mercury will once again fancy themselves against the Storm, will they be able to get back-to-back wins against the Stewart-less Storm?

Host: Seattle Storm
Visitors: Phoenix Mercury

Match Timing: 15 May, @ 12:30 AM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: Climate Pledge Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Depth issues for Storm, Mercury can be troublesome even without Griner
After suffering a horrendous loss against the Aces in the opening game, the Mercury showed that they have a lot of options at their disposal. Tina had 22 and also clasped 11 rebounds, showing why Mercury fans were excited to have her, meanwhile Diggins-Smith and Taurasi also got their offense going. Off the bench, Diamond DeShields and Sophie Cunningham for a formidable scoring punch while Breanna Stewart as a starter can be a remarkable inside scorer. Shey Peddy is also impressive and in the last game, five players hit the double-digit mark.
This is not the case for the Storm especially without Stewart. Jewell Loyd can perform a number of moves at an offensive threat and her 26-point performance speaks volumes about her. Sue Bird recover after a poor shooting night and nailed four triples while Magbebor looked much more impressive. Gabby Williams hasn’t even shot close to 50% so far and she will need to get it together. Seriously, Storm needs something big from Gabby in this game to match-up to the Mercury.
