Premium Pick

This is the end of a five-game road trip for Los Angeles. They own a losing record and  they are ninth in the WNBA in scoring, second-worst in points allowed (81.2 ppg). They've dropped three in a row allowing 84, 81 and 98 points. Candace Parker is back from an injury but is rusty, shooting a combined two for 18 the last two contests. Los Angeles is 9-19 ATS against teams who attempt 16+ three-point shots per game. Phoenix has a dominant one-two low post punch with DeWanna Bonner and Britney Griner: Bonner leads the league at 21.7 points per game and Griner is fifth at 16.7 per contest. The team is third in the league in field goal shooting, fourth in three-point shooting, second in free throws (84.9%). And they get great news as Diana Taurasi, the WNBA's all-time leading scorer, makes her season debut. Phoenix is 111-81 ATS versus opponents who are getting outscored by 3+ points per game and this is a great situational spot for the home team. Play Phoenix.
