Premium Pick

The Minnesota Lynx have dominated the WNBA over the last three years, but there appears to be a new sheriff in town with these Phoenix Mercury. Phoenix is 26-4 on the season and can clinch the West with a win tonight in New York. The Mercury have the best inside-out combo in the WNBA, which makes them nearly impossible to defend. Diana Turasi bombs from outside and Britney Griner controls the paint on both ends of the floor. Phoenix has 19 wins by 8 points or more on the season. The Liberty have had a disappointing year as they have Tina Charles in the middle, but have lacked the supporting cast to get it done. The Mercury own a 9-2 ATS record in their last 11 vs. a losing team, and tends to show up every night. The Liberty are a woeful 3-14-1 ATS on a single day of rest in their last 18. lay the points on Phoenix to clinch tonight.

1 unit on Phoenix -5.5 (-107) (risk 1 to return 1.93)
