Premium Pick

Phoenix did a lot of things wrong on Sunday and still almost beat the Storm, which eked out a 91-87 victory as a six-point favorite. The Mercury now has covered the number six of the last nine meetings and if Diana Taurasi can control her temper and Brittney Griner can stay out of foul trouble, Phoenix has an excellent chance to come out on top in this one. Also, Phoenix committed 16 turnovers, but it did shoot 52.3 percent from the field while Seattle survived while shooting only 45.2 percent. It snapped a six-game winning streak for the Mercury and it did get a great game from DeWanna Bonner, who poured in 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Seattle was led by Breanna Stewart with 28 points and Jewell Loyd added 23 points for the Storm.  Phoenix is 14-3 ATS its last 17 road games and 5-0 ATS its last five versus the Western Conference and it has covered the last four meetings at Seattle. Take the points with the Mercury.
