Chicago at Phoenix

A tough situational spot for Chicago, the second game of a four-game trip. It's also their fifth road game in the last six contests. Chicago is 10-23 ATS against the Western Conference, plus 6-13 ATS playing on one day of rest. After a dismal start, Phoenix is playing up to its capabilities after reaching the Finals last season winning three of four, and all three wins were at home. Phoenix is second in the WNBA in points scored, hitting or topping 90 in the three wins. Star Diana Taurasi scored 31 points in the Mercury's 90-75 win over San Antonio on Thursday. She is third in the WNBA in scoring, averaging 20.3 points. Chicago is 2-8 straight up in its last 10 trips to Phoenix, so the home team holds all the cards. Play Phoenix.
