WNBA Playoffs Picks: Dallas and New York go for first round upset

‍

The Chicago Sky faithful have been given a chance to make a run this playoffs and don’t let their .500 regular season record fool you. 

‍

The team led the league in assists per game and free throw percentage, plus ranked top five in points, blocks, and steals per game. Yeah. Not to mention they have future hall-of-famer Candace Parker.
‍

‍

While the Phoenix Mercury may have dropped their last three regular season games to higher seeded teams, their depth is undeniable. Even if the Mercury big three is without Diana Taurasi, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Brittney Griner - both candidates for first-team all-WNBA - are looking good.

‍

But beware of the barking dogs… The underdogs that is. With a healthier Dallas squad inside, the Wings could give Parker some trouble in the post.

‍

New York’s three point shooting could be a factor in helping them pull off the win tonightThey recorded a league high 321 threes this regular season.There’s no doubt both underdogs have some huge stars.Can the Liberty's Sabrina Ionescu and the Wings' Arike Ogunbowale pull the upset tonight?We shall see.

‍

Now let’s get to the cha-ching. Here are my picks…

‍

1. Take the Sky to win on the moneyline at (-190 )

2. Take the Mercury to win on the moneyline at (- 500)
