This is a 10* play on NEW YORK

New York lost its eighth straight game on Sunday, falling to the short-handed Phoenix Mercury by a score of 78-72. Equally as bad is that they just missed out on getting the cash as five-point underdogs. It was a similar story two nights prior when they lost in Dallas by six and were getting four from the oddsmakers. The last game saw the Liberty fall apart in the fourth quarter, getting outscored 28-18. But that's nothing compared to what happened to the Indiana Fever on Sunday. The Fever lost 107-68 to the Mystics, allowing a WNBA record 18 made three-pointers. It was the latest disastrous defensive effort for a team that has dropped 7 of 10 overall. We don't like the notion of Indiana laying this many points, given the recent defensive ineptitude. Also, what happened defensively in that last game also masks the fact the Fever scored only 68 points. Play on NEW YORK
