Phoenix at Minnesota

Phoenix got off to a rocky start but is playing up to its talent, winning two of three. The offense has come alive, tallying 93, 99 and 81 the last three. Phoenix is second in the WNBA in points scored, a better team than last season with guard Diana Taurasi back after taking a hiatus last year. She is averaging 20.0 points per game, good for fourth in the league. Phoenix is also getting 14.4 points per game from forward Penny Taylor, who returned to the franchise this season after sitting out 2015. Minnesota heads out on the road after this game for a stretch playing four of five away, so grab the visitors. Take the points on Phoenix and for the Mercury to win straight-up.
