The Phoenix Mercury have made it clear that there is a new sheriff in town. They have poised themselves above the Minnesotaa Lynx in the Western Conference standings, on the strength of an eight game winning streak. They buried this Chicago team at home just over a week ago, so it certainly could be a very flat spot for them here, especially with a rising San Antonio waiting at home in their next game. Chicago continues to get healthy, and while injuries have played a big role in their mediocre season, they will elevate their level of play vs. the WNBA's current best team. Phoenix has a long term history of not playing hard vs. bad teams and are 13-30-2 ATS in their last 45 vs. a team with a losing record. This one plays down to the wire, so the points will be huge. Grab the points on Chicago.
