Premium Pick

New York had its seven-game win streak snapped as Las Vegas finally won 88-75 on Thursday night after being humiliated by the Liberty the previous two meetings. New York now has to play a back-to-back after an exhausting stretch as it has played four games in seven days, including the Commissioner's Cup championship game. Meanwhile, Phoenix has been off since Sunday and the Mercury have won three of five and they covered the last meeting as a 15-point underdog and losing 99-95 on July 5th. Phoenix has gone OVER three of its past four games and the Mercury are 19-6-1 OVER their past 26 games playing with at least three days rest. Also, Phoenix has gone OVER six of eight overall versus opponents with winning records. Phoenix is 6-1 ATS its past seven home games. Take the points with the Mercury and the OVER.
