by Tyler Doty in WNBA Picks
A disappointed New York Liberty (25-5) will take to the court to play Phoenix Mercury (16-14) on Monday night. The Liberty are still reeling from their 64-72 loss to their closest rivals Connecticut Sun on Sunday night. This loss has left them in a vulnerable position at the top, with Connecticut just 2.5 games behind them. They'll also be worried that Minnesota is winning effortlessly in the Western Conference. We expect them to bounce back emphatically against Phoenix, who has the fourth-worst defensive record in the league (84.3 PAPG). But the Mercury have shown they can do some offensive damage after scoring an average of 83.3 PPG, which is good for third. Phoenix will be looking for their second straight win after fighting hard to defeat the Dream 80-82 last week.
