New York at Phoenix

What can be said about the Phoenix Mercury? They have proven to be the best team in the WNBA this season and have now rattled off 14 straight wins on the season. This could be a spot, however, where they get caught without their "A" game as they have the only other teams with winning records on the season looming ahead in three of their next six games. The Mercury are off two wins at Seattle, who is always tough at home, and Los Angeles, a talented team that would get their focus. Now they face a New York team that has under-achieved, and with a chance to take down a powerhouse, will likely take their "A" game on the road tonight. New York has the defense to slow down the Mercury as they rank second overall in the WNBA in fewest points allowed per game and will do their best to slow the game down. They are also the second best rebounding team in the league who can limit second chance points, and get a few of their own. New York is 20-7 to the UNDER in their last 27 games following a win, and also 20-7 to the UNDER in their last 27 on a day of rest. Phoenix has been slowed down by teams from the Eastern Conference where they are 9-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 13. The Liberty has had success in this series as they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings, and just two of the last eight meetings have eclipsed the total. Make the play on New York and the New York/Phoenix UNDER the total.
