Wings vs. Mercury WNBA Picks & Predictions (Monday)
We continue rolling through the WNBA season after the All-Stars were announced yesterday. I'll be coming at you twice weekly – Saturdays and Mondays – to give you my best bets and hopefully provide some winners. Last year in this series we had a profitable season and so far with the early return, we're keeping our head above water. Of course as a reminder, I must advise to shop around for the best props and keep track of lineup news. Staying on top of news is a great way to stay ahead of the market, and shopping around will help with seasonal ROI. Anyway, let’s get to the best bets for the day. Here are our top WNBA picks and predictions for Monday’s game Wings vs. Mercury.

Dallas Wings at Phoenix Mercury WNBA Picks
The other game of the night is not as exciting, with the Wings traveling to Phoenix to take on the Mercury. Phoenix sits as a 5.5-point favorite with a total of 165.5 points, so there should at least be a lot more offense in this one.
This is coming off the two matching up last time with Dallas and their young guns earning a 98-89 win in Dallas. Paige Beuckers has continued to improve and Aziaha James went off for 28 last time out.
Phoenix doesn't benefit much from playing at home with their splits pretty even but Dallas' offense actually gets a bump on the road, going from seventh overall to fourth away from home. Both team have been playing better recently with both squads in the top four in net rating. Their deadly offense bolsters the Mercury, but Kahleah Copper is out tonight which might limit them a bit. Luckily, they have a lot of reinforcements while Arike Ogunbowale is likely out for Dallas.
Still, even with the injuries both teams are facing, these are more improved squads recently than the seasonal stats and how they are priced across sportsbooks. These are two offenses finding their rhythm and the mediocre Mercury defense I expect to have their hands full against the Wings squad that's building momentum. Give me points tonight.
Play: Over 164.5 Points (-110)
