Minnesota @ Phoenix picks

The Minnesota Lynx were victims of their own success, at least in against the spread concerns. The best team in the WNBA played six games within 10 days because they were in the Commissioner's Cup title game. The last game of that stretch came on a back-to-back, and Minnesota looked worn out struggling against the Sky. The Lynx won, but the fatigue was evident. Three days off are not a bounty, but they should be welcomed by Minnesota, and against the shorthanded Mercury, that should be enough.

Just two days after Thomas dished out 15 assists in a 30-point win, this is quite a bet in the other direction. Kahleah Copper and Satou Sabally were out on Monday as they are today. And yet, that prop was set at 10.5. Why the fall by two assists and the subsequent doubt it has fallen far enough? Because Sami Whitcomb will not again score 36 points, not against the best defense in the WNBA.
