The Minnesota Lynx are the best team in the WNBA and have been for several years running now. The key here is shooting. Phoenix is 60-7 SU and 38-29 ATS when they shoot 50% or better, and 76-105 SU and 60-119-2 ATS when they don't. When Minnesota holds an opponent to less than 48.5% shooting they are 191-47 SU and 144-91 ATS, and 11-17 SU and 4-24 ATS when they don't. That is 238 games to 28, so over 80% of the time they do so.

The Phoenix Mercury with Griner and Turasi always look like they have a chance, however at age 35, Diana Turasi is nearing the end of the road. Her stats show she is doing less all around, and shooting an ugly 36.6%. She is getting her points, buy needs more shots to get them. Washington started 1-2, but have since suffered just 4 lossses, and 3 of those were vs Minnesota, and LA. Close games, this team has their top 5 scorers shooting 87.3% or better from the line, to easily put a close game away. Make the play on Washington.
