Phoenix Mercury vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
I’m on the Mystics and the points here. I get the case to be made for the Mercury here as this is the healthiest that the Mercury have been all season with Sabally, Copper, Thomas and co. all on the floor at the same time. However, that didn’t stop the Mercury from getting beat up by the Liberty and this is a Mystics team that’s been able to take down some big teams already at home this season. All in all, I think the Mercury are fully capable of winning this game, but I could easily see it being by one or two buckets. Give me Washington and the points here.
