Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WNBA match.
Phoenix Mercury
Satou Sabally has avoided a serious injury, and a few days of rest have clearly done her good. In the recent game against the Connecticut Sun (82:66), she tallied 23 points and six rebounds. Meanwhile, Alyssa Thomas is enjoying an excellent run of form, recording consecutive triple-doubles (10+10+10 and 13+12+12).
Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever were recently involved in a high-scoring shootout with the Los Angeles Sparks (91:100), which brought an end to their five-game winning run. Defensive issues were apparent, but their offence continues to fire. Kelsey Mitchell put in another standout performance, finishing with 34 points, while Natasha Howard, Aari McDonald, and Aliyah Boston each added 15 points.
Phoenix Mercury vs Indiana Fever Prediction
The Indiana Fever consistently play at a fast pace, even if that approach doesn’t always translate into wins. There’s every reason to believe the upcoming clash with the Phoenix Mercury will follow suit. Not long ago, the Mercury posted a combined total of 208 points, and another high-scoring contest looks likely. We’re backing a high Total Over.
