Randy’s Pick
As Ive said the last two weeks, the Phoenix Mercury are a team that’s checked out and is ready for a vacation. The losses are out of control, and they’ve been getting smoked in most of these games. Heck, the Mercury just lost to Vegas by 21 points at home on Friday. I can only imagine what’s going to happen here in Paradise, Nevada. Thick line, but nothing the Aces can’t handle again. Give me the home team in another beat down.
