Phoenix Mercury +15
PHO/HOU Under 130.5
Phoenix will be playing this road game without 6'8" center Stepanova and guard Kristen Veal but I don't think that they are going to be blown out by more than 15 in what should probably be a low scoring game.
Phoenix does get back 6'1" forward Brandy Reed who was the 3rd leading scorer in the league but missed all of last year due to a suspension.
Sheryl Swoopes is back for Houston this year after missing all of last season with a torn ACL and she looked good in her opening game on Monday at LA.
But the rest of the Houston team shot just 34% or 13-38 from the field.
Last year Phoenix won this match-up 56-38 at home.
FWIW, the opening line in Vegas on this game was just 8.
