What a Bad Game for the Mercury

The Mercury scored 63 points and that was the difference as they were defeated by nine points. The Mercury are averaging 83.3 points while their defense is giving up 84.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league while the defense is ranked 9th.

Phoenix Mercury vs Atlanta Dream Prediction

The last game between these teams was low-scoring, but this game is going to be different. The Mercury’s offense is going to be better here, and they are going to go over their season average of 83.3 points. The Mercury’s defense has been awful, though, and the Dream are going to take advantage of it. The Dream and Mercury are going to run up the score, and the over is going to end up cashing.
