Connecticut at Phoenix

Phoenix has shown signs of life following its coaching change, although the Mercury do come off a 26-point loss at Las Vegas before the break. Only one of Connecticut's past seven wins has been against a team that is over .500, including 84-72 over Chicago on Wednesday. This is the first meeting of the season and the Mercury will lean on Brittney Griner, who is averaging 19.5 points while shooting 60.6 percent from the field. The Mercury have three covers their past six games, including outright wins over Indiana and Los Angeles. We're getting good value with the home underdog here. Make it a Max Play on the Mercury.
