Here are my predictions for the Second Round of the 2019 WNBA Playoffs.
Sunday, September 15th
(6) Seattle Storm vs (3) Los Angeles Sparks (22-12)- 3:00, ESPN2: The Storm are coming off a nice First Round home win over the Minnesota Lynx thanks to a great performance by Jordin Canada. The Sparks have had a great year and have a bunch of great players such as Candice Parker, Nneka and Chine Ogwumike, and Chelsea Gray. I think this game will be competitive and Canada, Jewell Loyd, and Natasha Howard will keep the Storm in the game and I think they can win the game, especially if Sparks coach Derek Fisher doesn't make the proper decisions down the stretch. That said, home court will prevail for the Sparks as the Storm will miss Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird.
Prediction: Sparks
(5) Chicago Sky vs (4) Las Vegas Aces (21-13)- 5:00, ESPN2: The Sky are coming off a tremendous all around performance in their First Round win over the Phoenix Mercury who were missing Diana Taurasi due to a hamstring injury and lost Brittney Griner in the middle of the game due to a knee injury. The Aces have had a great season this season with Liz Cambage, A'ja Wilson, and Kayla McBride leading the way. The Sky have a big three of their own in Allie Quigley, Courtney Vandersloot, and Diamond DeShields, but I think the Aces have the better team with a better head coach in Bill Lambeer.
Prediction: Aces
