Here's what to look for during today's slate:

Phoenix Mercury at New York Liberty12 p.m. ET, Barclays Center, Brooklyn

Line: Liberty -12Money line: Mercury (+650), Liberty (-1000)Total: 162.5 points

BPI Prediction: Liberty: 84.5% chance to win. Projected margin of victory: 11.6 points

Injury ReportMercury: Brittney Griner (Day-To-Day), Diana Taurasi (Day-To-Day), Skylar Diggins-Smith (Out)Liberty: Jonquel Jones (Day-To-Day), Sabrina Ionescu (Out), Han Xu (Out)

Fantasy streamer: Sug Sutton (rostered in 30.1% of ESPN leagues) has been on fire lately, scoring 18-plus fantasy points in five consecutive games. She has also played 30 or more minutes in four of her past five games. Sutton could step up as a major offensive force for the Mercury if Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner sit. — Eric Moody

Best bet: Liberty -13.0. The Mercury struggled, losing four out of their past five games, while the Liberty have found their rhythm with three wins over their past five games. Ionescu's absence hasn't hurt New York, and if she returns, they might be even better. The Mercury are 1-4 in their road games against the spread. The Liberty have a bad habit of letting opponents stick around in games, but after Friday's loss to the Dream I expect New York to be more focused. — Moody

Chicago Sky at Washington Mystics3 p.m. ET, Capital One Arena, Washington, D.C.

Line: Mystics -5.5Money line: Sky (+185), Mystics (-225)Total: 155.5 points
