Connecticut is home but has lost five in a row. And they've been getting thumped, losing all five by 8 points or more, four by double digits. Connecticut is on an 0-5 ATS run, 2-5 ATS against a team with a winning record. A strong Phoenix squad is in town, second in the West with great balance: #7 in points scored and assists, #6 in rebounds and #4 in points allowed. The Mercury come off an impressive 79-67 win Sunday against first-place Minnesota, pulling within 2.5 games of the West leaders. Brittney Griner had 10 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks for the defending champs as they clinched a seventh playoff berth in nine years. She leads the league with 4.4 blocks per game and is averaging a team-high 8.5 rebounds. The Mercury are 6-1 ATS at Connecticut and the visitors hold all the matchup cards in this one. Play Phoenix.
