Phoenix already has a game under its belt after beating Dallas 86-78 on Friday night. The Mercury had many contributers then, including Diana Taurasi, who scored a team-leading 26 points, and Brittney Griner added 13 points with seven rebounds even though she admittedly got off to a slow start in the first half. DeWanna Bonner finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds while Briann January and Leilani Mitchell scored 10 points apiece. The Mercury held the Wings to just 36.2 percent from the field and four of 20 from 3-point range. Seattle has a new coach in Dan Hughes and is excited about Jordin Canada, the rookie point guard who played well in preseason. The Storm has several new players and is still learning a new system. Also, it is 1-6 ATS the last seven meetings at Seattle. Play the Mercury.
