Ivory Latta played her first game of the year and scored 16 points. Emma Messeman scored 16 with 11 rebounds and Taylor Hill is scoring 18 ppg, Hartley at 9 ppg and Dolson at 7. Pratt, Vaughn, Clud and Copper all score in the 6 to 7 points per game range. Phoenix is 0-4 and off two home losses. Diana Taurasi averages 21 ppg but is shooting just 37% and the team is not deep as Griner, Taylor and Bonner and Dupree are others scoring over 6 per game. I like the road team to stay within 8.

The LA Sparks are 4-0 so far but play their 4th road game in a row after wins at Washington, at NY (in OT) and at Chicago. LA is led by Candace Parker, who has been motivated by not making the Olympic team. Beard, Carson, Toliver, Lavender and Ogwumike are other contributors. Connecticut has some solid veterans averaging 9.7 ppg or higher in Alyssa Thomas, Camille Little, Jasmine Thomas, Alex Bentley and Kelsey Bone. The Sun also has one of the Ogwumike sisters. I think Connecticut can stay within 9 tonight as LA wraps up a long road trip.

Whalen has been injured and not played much and the Lynx are not deep but they do have Maya Moore, who could get hot and win the series by herself. However, the Indiana Fever are a solid team led by Briana January, Tameka Catchings and Zellous. Playing at home, where they have played and won both playoff games (vs. Chicago and NY) I think we see Indy win a close one.

They won the New York series after dropping game one by 10+. They won game three at NY 66-51. They have a nice mixture of players: Catchings 20 ppg Coleman 12 ppg Johnson 12 ppg Larkins 10 pts and 7 rebounds (shoots 62% FG) January 8 ppg Zellous 8 ppg Kizer also contributes. Indiana is 6-1-1 ATS in its last 8 games. Minnesota is a former champion and led by Maya Moore, Augustus, Whalen and Sylvia Fowles. The Lynx is not real deep so I hope the depth of the visitors helps them. Take Indiana +5.5.

Tulsa lost at San Antonio earlier by 65-57 but won at home by 88-61 (back when Skylar Diggins was healthy). San Antonio's recent losses have been by 30, 1, 8, 14, 31, 17, 28 and 11. Tulsa is 18-13 ATS and 16-15 SU. They are 6-1 in their last 7 and off a loss at LA by 28 points and they allowed 61% FG in the defeat. Now they return home to face a team that has shown signs of tanking for a better chance to get Brianna Stewart of UConn. Tulsa has Odyssey Sims at 16 ppg and Pierson at 13 ppg. Riquena Williams missed the last two games with an injury and is questionable and that does concern me. Christmas, Paris and Kiesel also contribute.

LA at Indiana #651/652 7pm 10* LA +4 LA is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. They beat San Antonio by 21 and Phoenix by 10. Their last loss was at home to this Indiana team. LA was up 44-30 at the half but were outscored 49-24 in the second half and out-rebounded 41-29. LA had just one 3-pointer while Indy had 10. LA's last road loss was by 8 at Minnesota and that was a revenge game for the Lynx as they had just played at LA and lost badly. LA is led by Candace Parker, who missed some early games and averages 18.5 ppg, 10 rebounds and 6.5 assists. Jantel Lavender is also 6'4" and averages 15 points/8.5 rebounds. Kristi Toliver is at 13.5 ppg and Dabonic has averaged 14 ppg in her last three games. Indiana is 9-1 in their last 10 and their only loss was by 24 at Chicago. However, they just played New York at home and only won by one. The Indiana Fever are led by Tameka Catchings, Coleman, January, Anchona, Johnson and Kizer. I think we see Los Angeles get revenge on Wednesday so take the +4.

Simeone Augustus is out but Maya Moore should lead the way. She scores 20.4 ppg and has 73 assists while Whalen scores 12.4 ppg and has 81 assists.
