Minnesota at Phoenix

The Phoenix Mercury are becoming an intriguing team - one they believe can end the dominance of the Minnesota Lynx who are 108-30 in their last 138 games overall. Phoenix has the league's most difficult point guard to handle in Diana Turasi who is not only scoring, she is averaging 6.1 assists per game. She is getting the ball more frequently to Britney Griner, and the combination of the inside-out threat is hard to stop. Phoenix dominated Minnesota on the road less than a week ago, and will be out to prove it was no fluke and that they are a real contender, and get in the head of Minnesota. Phoenix has stepped it up vs. winning teams where they own a 10-4 ATS mark in their last 14. This is definitely a measuring stick for the Mercury as to how far they have come. They will pass the test, so play on Phoenix.
