This is an early game for Phoenix. It will be 8:30 AM local time for them. This will cause the defense to be sloppy and undisciplined. Washington doesn't win much, but they cover. Earlier in the season Phoenix was a 6.5 favorite at home. Mercury won by 3. Phoenix dropped the L2 in this road trip. Washington has covered 8 of their L9 including their L3. Washington also benefits from playing at home. The early start will be a problem for Phoenix. Washington should keep this close and have a chance to win at home.
