Phoenix at Los Angeles

Phoenix made the WNBA Finals last season and has turned a corner winning three of four, including an 83-72 win at Dallas as a +7 dog. The offense is fourth in the league in scoring and free throw shooting, and they've won seven of their last 12. Los Angeles failed to make the playoffs last year when they went 12-20 and have been inconsistent this season sitting with a losing mark. The defense is weak, surrendering the second-most points (85.5 ppg), plus ranking ninth allowing opponents to shoot 44.9% from the field. Phoenix won the first meeting 81-74 as a +3 dog last month, and the wagering value is on the defending Western Conference champs to win the game. Play Phoenix on the moneyline.
