Indiana @ Phoenix picks

Phoenix's Big 3 are showing signs of clicking at the same time which could be beneficial as the Mercury make their push to the playoffs. It all started to come together in their recent wins over the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun with Kahleah Copper (25 points vs. Sky) & Satou Sabally (23 points vs. Sun) leading the charge in scoring with Alyssa Thomas doing the work in boards and dimes. Round two against Indiana can be the cherry on top of the cake to show that this Big 3 is no fluke when healthy. It was only a matter of time before the team chemistry translates to consistent wins and the time is now. I'm taking the Mercury straight-up to finally get over the hump against contender teams when it matters most.

Alyssa Thomas has tallied a double-double in five straight games, and there should be plenty of opportunities to fill the stat sheet, as the last game between these teams ended with 208 total points. Betting on another double-double at solid odds is the smart play.
