Premium Pick
1 unit on Phoenix -7.5 (-110) (risk 1 to return 1.91)
Result:
LOSS

It is hard to go against this Phoenix team that has been denied victory just once in their last 19 games, and that was on the road vs. an equally impressive, and now healthy Minnesota team. The Mercury isn't just winning, they are blowing teams away. Their last 22 wins overall have seen an amazing 18 of them come by 8 points or more. In their last nine wins, no team has come within 8 points of them. San Antonio is just another pedestrian WNBA team that simply does not have the answers to stop Diana Turasi on the outside, or Britney Griner on the inside. Home court is going to be a huge factor in the Western Conference playoffs, and with Minnesota in hot pursuit at just 1.5 games behind, with 1 more meeting between them and Phoenix, a no show here is out of the question for Phoenix. Lay the points on Phoenix.
