Phoenix at Los Angeles

The Phoenix Mercury, last year's Champs in the WNBA, is basically the same talented squad, but have put themselves behind the 8-ball. The good news is that the West is so weak, that even at 6-11 they stand just a half game behind San Antonio for a playoff spot. It has been, and will be a tough road for Los Angeles. This is a weak team that lost their best player in Candace Parker for the season, and it has shown. They are 1-5 since Parker went down, and in the five losses they have averaged losing by 10+ per game. If Phoenix is going to be motivated it will be here, knowing they can still salvage their season and make the playoffs and that begins tonight. I'll go with Phoenix on the moneyline.
