Phoenix is a strong defensive team off a bad game. They admitted being fatigued but have had two days of rest to get a breather and make adjustments. Phoenix ranks second in the league during the playoffs in opponent points in the paint. They have home court again and don't want to head to Chicago down 2-0. Phoenix is on a 4-1-1 run UNDER the total at home. During the regular season, they were fifth in scoring, fourth in field goal shooting, third in rebounding, while the defense was fourth in points allowed. Chicago, a .500 team, is in the middle of the pack in rebounding, while the defense allowed the fifth-most points in the WNBA. Phoenix won both regular-season meetings with Chicago including a 103-83 rout on this court. The wagering value is on the home team to win the game a defensive duel. Combine the Mercury (-178) and the UNDER 168.5 (-105) into a 2-team WNBA parlay at +201 odds.
