Griner and Allen are back for the Mercury and their defensive play was evident in their win over the Lynx the other day. This team has missed their star player and they will try to get back to .500 so they should start to gel on offense too going into this second game with Griner. This will be a tight game against the Wings, as both teams are strong, and with the Commissioner’s Cup on the line, and with the Mercury having some momentum, they should be very competitive as they steal another game today. Head to head, the Mercury are 5-1-1 against the spread in their last 7 meetings against Dallas. The Wings also give up 84 points on average and that will be their down fall against a hungry team with all their players back, who want to win. Copper just put up 34 points in their last game and this team is starting to roll on offense. This is a better spot for the Mercury to beat a Wings team that have lost four games in a row, as they improve with their road win record too.

Best bet: take the points with Phoenix Mercury.
