Game picks for today
Sunday 01 August 2004
Last set of picks before the break!
Current record: 101-64
Seattle 73 Charlotte 63
Charlotte have good depth to deal with a back to back but they don't match up well with LJ and I think Seattle will be keen to keep up with L.A.
Phoenix 71 Washington 68
A key game for both teams. Washington have to win to keep up with the rest of the East and Phoenix have to win to keep their noses ahead of Sacramento and Houston. There are some interesting matchups here - Beard will probably be on DeForge but who's going to handle Penny Taylor? I don't think either Page or Melvin can handle her. If Sanford can stay out of foul trouble, she may cause Tuvic troubles. It will be a close game either way but I think the Merc will have enough perimeter firepower to get over the line.
Detroit 78 Minnesota 64
Detroit have found their inner thu... er toughness and a Katie Smith-less Minnesota won't have the firepower to deal with it.
