Las Vegas hasn't played since Sept. 19, which is the disadvantage of earning a double-bye into the playoffs, while Phoenix has the momentum of winning two postseason games, including a thrilling, 85-80, overtime victory at Seattle on Sunday. Brittney Griner had 23 points and 16 rebounds, and Skylar Diggins-Smith added 20 against the Storm. Diana Taurasi, who was questionable with an injury, also added 14 points. Griner averaged 20.5 points and 9.5 rebounds while shooting 57.5% this season. Phoenix is 7-1-1 ATS the last nine meetings, and the Mercury lost by one point in the Aces' final regular-season game. The Mercury are 7-3 ATS their last 10 playing with one day of rest, and they are 34-16-2 ATS their past 52 games as underdogs. Las Vegas is 3-9-1 ATS its last 13 playoff games as a favorite and 2-7 ATS its past nine games overall playing with at least three days rest. Take the Phoenix Mercury.
