The Mercury must stop their current three-game losing streak and will face the .500 Mystics today in their second matchup in 2025.
Both teams met early this season on May 25, and Phoenix came away with a 68-62 win, with Satou Sabally, Alyssa Thomas and Monique Akoa Makani scoring in double figures for the Mercury.
Sabally leads the team with 18.1 points, but Thomas is having an all-around great season with 15.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game.
This is a good bounce-back spot for the Mercury, now trailing the Lynx by six games in the Western Conference. Phoenix has a 6-5 record on the road this season.
Our Bet Labs recommendation for this game is to back Phoenix on the spread.

This system targets WNBA favorites with a spread between minus 9.5 and minus 6, specifically in the regular season and within recent years of league play.
These games fall into a closing total range between 145 and 165, signaling matchups expected to feature a relatively high but not runaway pace.
By focusing on teams coming off a loss by a narrow to significant margin, the system filters for bounce-back opportunities where talent and market pressure align.
It aims to exploit situations where elite teams are undervalued due to recent underperformance, yet remain in control within fast-paced, competitive environments.
