Phoenix at Las Vegas

Premium Pick

Phoenix was fortunate to make it into the postseason and now the Mercury will look to take advantage, getting huge points tonight against Las Vegas. The Mercury should be proud of themselves after enduring the loss of Brittney Griner the entire season along with not having Diana Taurasi and Skylar Diggins-Smith the past week. This will give them fortitude to compete in the postseason and the Mercury are 9-2 ATS the past 11 meetings on the road against the Aces, who are just 3-9 ATS their last 12 home games. Phoenix has gone OVER nine of 13 versus teams with winning records and five straight against Western Conference teams. The OVER is 10-1 at Las Vegas and 12-5 OVER the past 17 meetings overall. Las Vegas is 3-3 ATS its last six games and laying too many points in this matchup. Phoenix has plenty of playoff experience as it has made the postseason 10 years in a row. Make it a Max Play on the Mercury, and take the OVER as well.
