Phoenix at Chicago

Premium Pick

Phoenix was absolutely humiliated in Game 3 losing 86-50, and now the Mercury are in a must-win situation being down 2-1 in a best-of-five series for the championship. Brittney Griner was held to 4 first-half points, and Diana Taurasi finished 1-for-10 shooting with only 5 points. All of this means the Mercury will make the needed adjustments and go all out in this one as Griner and Taurasi are too talented and experienced to play two really bad games in a row. The Phoenix defense will clamp down after Chicago shot 50% on Friday. The Mercury have covered four straight following an ATS loss, and the Sky still are only 5-14 ATS their past 19 games as home favorites. Take the Mercury.
