Phoenix Mercury vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction

I’m on the Mercury and the points here. I get why the Lynx would be favored at home here, but the thing is that the Lynx have had trouble pulling away from teams this season. The Mercury have a lot of shooters that can get hot and have a defensive intensity that travels throughout this team regardless of who is in or out of the lineup. This is just a case of too many points for me here. Give me Phoenix and the points.
