Phoenix will try to get off to a better start tonight after scoring only 26 points in the first half against Los Angeles on Wednesday. The Mercury still made it respectable, losing 83-74, but Phoenix averages 86.7 points on the season. The Mercury did climb within two points after being down 15 in the fourth quarter and Diana Taurasi scored 19 points for Phoenix. Minnesota figures to cool off after shooting better than 50 percent each of its last two games against New York and Dallas, and the Lynx are just 1-5 ATS its last six games versus Western Conference teams. Also, Phoenix is 11-5 ATS with one day of rest and 19-7 ATS its last 26 Friday games dating to previous seasons. Phoenix is a small favorite so play the Mercury on the moneyline.
