WNBA game preview
Coming into tonight's game, the San Antonio Stars have dropped their last two games after getting a rare win prior to that.
The team fell 85-73 against the LA Sparks in their most recent outing. Stars leading scorer Kayla McBride finished with 20 points in the losing effort. As of right now, San Antonio seems to have little hope of getting into a playoff spot with just a 3-20 record overall this season. However, each win gives the team and its fans a bit of a glimpse into the future as they build for a future run at the playoffs via the draft.
For the Phoenix Mercury, it's a much different story. At 12-10 they're third in the Western standings and fifth in the WNBA's overall standings. The top eight teams qualify for a postseason spot, so as of today, Phoenix would be in. They'll hope to stay within those top eight spots as they await the return of their leading scorer, Brittney Griner.
In their most recent game, the team downed the Chicago Sky 86-80 thanks to 43 points off the bench with Camille Little's 19 points leading the way.
The point spread for tonight's game has the Phoenix Mercury as nine-point favorites on their home court. The moneyline prices have Phoenix as a -400 to -450 favorite at various sports books while the Stars are +315 to +360 underdogs.
