1 unit on Phoenix +9.5 (-105) (risk 1 to return 1.95)
Result:
LOSS

Phoenix roared down the stretch on a 5-1 SU/ATS run behind 6-8 Brittney Griner (21.9 points per game), the only player in the WNBA to average better than 20 points per game. That included a pair of wins as a dog, and an 86-66 victory as a pick 'em. She's a two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, the game’s best shot-blocker, and now an offensive force. Phoenix outrebounded Los Angeles in Game 1 in a contest that was close most of the way, tied 43-43 at the half. Now they are a big dog to a Los Angeles squad that is dealing with an ankle injury to star Candace Parker. The Sparks are 8-17 ATS when playing on one day of rest. This will be the fifth playoff meeting between these teams, with the Mercury holding the edge in series won (3-1) and games won (6-4). Los Angeles is 13-27 ATS after two consecutive home wins by 10+ points and this shapes up as a close one. Grab the points on Phoenix.
