Phoenix @ Washington Picks & Props

Thomas is coming off another standout effort on Tuesday against the Indiana Fever, where she posted a 23-9-9 line. Her 17 field-goal attempts that night were her most since July 30, and there should be ample scoring chances against a Washington Mystics team that’s dropped its last seven contests. Thomas has now finished with double-digit points in 17 straight outings — and 14+ in eight of her past 11 games.

Over the last 10 games, scoring is down for both squads. In that span, the Phoenix Mercury have posted 81.4 points, while the Washington Mystics have posted a league-worst 75.7. Phoenix has gone Under in six straight games heading into Thursday’s showdown. Phoenix ranks third in defensive rating this season at 96.6, but over the last 12 games, they’re second at 94. The Mercury’s stellar defense should be able to contain the Mystics' struggling offense, making for a low-scoring contest.
