Chicago at Phoenix

Premium Pick

Chicago is ranked 10th in the 12-team WNBA in scoring and shooting (42.31%), with the defense sixth in points allowed. That defense keeps them competitive, especially on the road where they have a winning record. Chicago has won its last two road games, at Los Angeles yesterday (90-86) and at Las Vegas (93-85) as a +13.5 underdog. They're on a 7-6 SU/ATS run, including a win at Seattle (88-84) as a +10 dog. Phoenix comes home after playing two straight on the road. They're in the role of favorite despite getting outscored on the season. Stars Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner are off a bad game at Indiana dealing with consecutive road contests along with the fatigue of the Paris Games. Phoenix has lost seven of its last nine against Chicago and has failed to cover four of the last six meetings. Play Chicago + UNDER the total.
