Spot is right to back Phoenix. The Mercury are coming off an 84-79 overtime road loss to Las Vegas. They have been idle since. Brittney Griner, the best big player in the league, is back from suspension and Diana Taurasi, the leading scorer in WNBA history, has been cleared to play after missing nearly the entire season following back surgery.

Chicago exerted a lot of energy in upsetting Washington, 85-78, at home on Friday. The Sky are vulnerable inside to Grier and DeWanna Bonner without their leading rebounder, injured Jantel Lavender.
