Phoenix at Chicago

Phoenix has won and covered three in a row after sweeping a two-game set with Indiana, including a 99-78 rout on Wednesday when the Mercury shot 54.8 percent and Skylar Diggins-Smith led a balanced scoring attack with 17 points and seven players scored in double figures. Phoenix has won its last three by an average of 14.6 points and it's playing better defensively than it has all season. The Mercury are out to avenge a loss in the first meeting this year when Chicago won 73-70 on May 31 when Phoenix wasn't playing nearly as well as it is now. Phoenix has covered five of seven playing with two days rest and the Sky are 6-19-1 ATS dating to last season against teams with losing records and 2-6 ATS their past eight games versus the Western Conference. Look for Chicago to cool off after shooting nearly 60 percent against Connecticut on Wednesday. Play the Mercury ATS as a Max Play and on the money line.
