Seattle at Phoenix

The Phoenix Mercury are a much improved team over a year ago and that has given them a distinct homecourt advantage as they have compiled a 5-1 record in Phoenix already this season. They have now won and covered eight of their last nine here. Seattle has been one of the top teams in the WNBA over the last few years, but they still have a lot to prove on the road. While they have been 23-1 in their last 24 regular season home games, they have managed just a 10-22 mark over their last 32 road games. Phoenix will have some extra incentive here tonight as they suffered their only home loss of the season to Seattle. Diana Turasi had just eight points in her last game vs Minnesota for Phoenix, misfired on 13 of 15 field goal attempts and saw her streak of 55 games making a three end. I would look for her to have a big game tonight and I like the Phoenix Mercury in this one.
