“That first game, Sun versus Mercury, Diana Taurasi for the Mercury is questionable, as is Rebecca Allen. Beck Allen has been dealing with a little bit of an injury. She played through it yesterday. This is a back-to-back for the Mercury who played yesterday. And Dana Taurasi, she's just 42 years old. So I wouldn't be surprised if either or both of them end up sitting tonight because of the back-to-back, which would only, especially in Dana Taurasi's case, make the under more appealing. Taurasi can still get buckets, but a little bit past her prime on the defensive end. And the Sun are just always that team that wants to turn it into a grind fest.”
