Phoenix Mercury vs. Dallas Wings Prediction
I’m on the Wings in this one. I get the case to be made for an underdog in spots, but the Wings have been drilling teams at home this season and as of late while the Mercury have picked up a couple of wins here and there but they’re just playing out the string at this point and I think that the Wings smash in this one. Give me Dallas.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Dallas -9.5
