Chicago at Phoenix

Premium Pick

This matchup has playoff implications written all over it, and Phoenix will play for the first time since Tuesday's heartbreaking 84-79 overtime loss at Las Vegas. Brittney Griner scored 24 points in the return from her suspension, and the Mercury held the Aces to 36.9 percent shooting. However, the Mercury had trouble shooting the ball itself making only 31 of 83 overall and 7 of 30 from 3-point distance while still taking the game to overtime. Chicago is in a letdown spot after upsetting Washington 85-78 as a 6.5-point underdog on Friday, and the Sky had to travel and now plays with one day of rest. Phoenix is 9-4 at home while the Sky is 6-7 on the road, and the Mercury figures to have a better game offensively than it did on Tuesday. Play the Phoenix Mercury on the moneyline.
