Washington Mystics vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

There are a lot of reasons to consider the Mystics and the points. The Phoenix Mercury aren’t good on the road, where they’re 4-8 SU and the Mystics have covered 8 of their last 9 games. The Mystics are also 16-7-1 ATS on the season. This is an early start, which usually favors the home team. With all that said, we’re only being asked to lay 4 points and the Mercury are the comfortably better team. I also don’t see Griner or Taurasi on the injury report. Assuming the Mercury have their key players in, I’ll side with the Mercury simply because the line is reasonable, and they can’t afford to blow this game as they fight to keep that sixth seed.
