Phoenix Mercury
Brittney Griner, Middle: OUT (well being & security protocol)
Megan Gustafson, Middle: OUT (well being & security protocol)
Shey Peddy, Guard: OUT (concussion)
Skylar Diggins-Smith, Guard: OUT
Prediction
The New York Liberty (24-7,12-3 Away) will face the Phoenix Mercury (9-21, 8-7 House) on the street tonight. New York, the latest Commissioner’s Cup Champions, are on recreation 4 of their grueling six recreation street journey. The Liberty are coming off an 88-75 loss in opposition to the Aces, and minimal relaxation. Liberty Head Coach Sandy Brondello returns to her former workforce, who will probably be with out Brittney Grinder and Megan Gustafson tonight. Though Phoenix is coming off an 81-71 loss in opposition to Seattle, the Mercury received and coated the unfold in 3 of their final 5 video games.
Phoenix has latest spectacular wins over the Connecticut Solar, Washington Mystics, and the Atlanta Dream. Although Phoenix solely has 9 wins, 4 of them got here since July twentieth. As well as, the Mercury coated in opposition to Connecticut, Washington, Atlanta, Indiana, and Chicago. Phoenix will probably be skinny on the entrance court docket, by which Grinder and Gustafson mixed for 31 factors of their win in opposition to Connecticut.
Why Phoenix can Cowl
Mercury Guard, Sophie Cunningham stepped up with 25 factors in opposition to the Seattle Storm, together with Moriah Jefferson. Phoenix Star, Diana Taurasi, not too long ago hit 10,000 profession factors, and is averaging 22.5 factors within the month of August. Search for ahead Michaela Onyenwere and Brianna Turner to step up on the boards.
The Liberty are undeniably the higher workforce, and an elite squad. New York has the expertise in Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and supporting workers to beat this workforce by greater than 11.5 factors. Nevertheless, I can perhaps see Sandy Brondello giving extra minutes to each Stefanie Dolson, Han Xu, and her second unit. Phoenix coated the +15-point unfold final recreation, by which New York acquired the win, 99-95. Within the Mercury’s 89-71 loss in opposition to New York, the workforce was with out stars Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi. Phoenix is averaging 80 factors within the final ten video games and have performed far more environment friendly. In case you’re betting on the WNBA, I like Phoenix to cowl right here. I anticipate New York to be barely fatigued with minimal relaxation on this street stretch.

Prediction
The Dallas Wings (16-14, 6-8 Away) will play the Connecticut Solar (21-9, 9-4 House) on the street tonight. Each groups are coming off six days of relaxation, by which Dallas defeated the Solar, 91-81.
Connecticut leads the collection 2-1, and the over hit in 2 out of the three conferences. In case you’re betting on the WNBA, 168.5 appears low, for the Solar and Wings, who rank high three in offensive manufacturing. As well as, Dallas hit the over in 4 straight video games, and Connecticut the final two.
Dallas is the primary rebounding workforce within the league which is averaging 90 factors within the final ten video games. Of their final matchup, Sabally, Ogunbowale, and Dangerfield had factors in double figures. For Connecticut, Alyssa Thomas, Heideman, Hayes, and Carrington had factors in double digits.
In case you’re betting on the WNBA, Solar star DeWanna Bonner was restricted to three factors in 28 minutes throughout their final assembly. Even with Bonner not as productive, the over nonetheless hit. There are many stars on either side, though Connecticut has the highest protection within the league. I just like the over for tonight.
Atlanta Dream -2.5 (-114)
