Dallas Wings vs Phoenix Mercury Best Bet: Wednesday, June 7th

After a very slow start to the season, Brittney Griner and company will try to take their second win against an improved Wings team. The Mercury have played only 4 games this season and are struggling with a 1-3 record while the home team has reached 0.500 after their first six games.

Dallas Wings vs Phoenix Mercury Preview

Wed, June 7th, 03:00 am (UK time)

After a furious start to the season, things have evened out for the Dallas Wings as they are now sitting on a 3-3 record. Although they have lost some very close games, their offensive production has been outstanding at times despite lacking consistency. They are still 2nd in the West and are in a playoff spot, although early, their offence seems to be clicking as it is the 2nd ranked offence in the league, averaging over 85.5 Points per game, just behind the LV Aces. They will have a tough matchup tonight against the Mercury as their protective mark is defence.

The Phoenix Mercury have been struggling since the start of the season. They haven’t looked like themselves ever since the shocking news about Brittney Griner was announced. The Phoenix Mercury are 1st in the league in blocks per game and solid defence has always been their trademark. This season, on a 4-game sample, they are currently sitting in the 2nd spot in field goal percentage with almost 46% from the field while shooting 37% from beyond the arc.

This will be a clash of probably the two best centres in women’s basketball, Brittney Griner and Satou Sabally. The opening Total Points line of 163.5 seems very low in our eyes for the offensive potential both teams are having, also, the moneyline is not very generous to bet on either side. We will be sticking with the Over tonight.
