Phoenix at Atlanta

The oddsmakers are seeing a lot more distance between these cubs than I do. Phoenix is struggling, but still well in contention to defend their title in the West, as just one team stands in at over 500. Atlanta is also struggling, out of the gate at 6-0, and has actually been outscored by opponents since the big start. This is a big game for Phoenix, and they will also be playing with revenge. The losses have mounted for the Mercury, but six games were decided by 3 points or less, or overtime. They are certainly are better than their record, while the jury is still out on this Atlanta club. I'll go with Phoenix here.
