WNBA Picks
Las Vegas Aces (-3) vs Phoenix Mercury, O/U 163.5
The Phoenix Mercury have dug themselves a hole that no one wants to be in: down 3-0 in a best-of-seven series. To make matters worse, their leading scorer, Satou Sabally, is out for this game after suffering a concussion in Game 3. So where does that leave Phoenix, a team fighting for its season on its home court tonight against the MVP and a team with a championship pedigree? To quote Brent Musberger in The Waterboy, “Can’t hold anything back now.” TSI projects Las Vegas by 8.5, adjusting for the Sabally injury, with a total of 165.5. I think this has to be Aces or nothing for me, because they’ve owned this matchup all season, even with a healthy Sabally, so I have a hard time seeing how Phoenix keeps pace with A’ja Wilson and company tonight. They had an admirable run, but I think it ends tonight with Becky Hammon hoisting another championship trophy.
