Fantasy streamer: Sug Sutton (available in 60.7% of ESPN leagues) has been a consistent contributor for the Mercury. She has averaged over 20 FPPG, 11.1 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 5.9 APG this season and will remain in the starting lineup with Diana Taurasi out. — Jenni LaCroix
Fantasy streamer: Michaela Onyenwere (available in 75.1% of leagues) has been playing excellent basketball, averaging 13.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 1.7 3PG, 1.3 SPG, 0.7 BPG and 0.7 APG in 30.0 MPG over her past three games. She should have another opportunity to produce as a featured option for the Mercury with Brittney Griner and Taurasi out. –Andre’ Snellings
Best bet: Mercury +19.5. Teams that are favored by 10 or more points on the road this season are 1-6 against the spread. The Aces are currently 1-3 in those situations and facing a Phoenix that has lost three of its four home games by single digits. The Mercury also lost by fewer than 20 points in their past two road games against the Mystics and Liberty. — LaCroix
