Mercury vs Wings predictions
When it comes to the Phoenix Mercury, it feels like you can almost pencil in Satou Sabally for another big night. She’s been leading the Mercury in both points and rebounds, showing off the kind of versatile game that gives defenders headaches. If she can keep up that 19-point average, Phoenix could really set the tone early. Alyssa Thomas is the glue that holds this group together, especially with her knack for racking up assists. I’d expect her to keep finding open shooters and maybe flirt with double-digit dimes again—passing seems to be almost second nature for her. All in all, Phoenix’s stars look poised to keep that momentum rolling, especially with their impressive record on the road.
The Dallas Wings, meanwhile, are loaded with young talent eager to make a statement. If you’ve watched Paige Bueckers this season, you know she’s been putting up solid numbers as both a scorer and a playmaker. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her attack the Mercury defense aggressively, maybe pushing that points total up near the 20 mark if she can get into a groove. The biggest question for Dallas is how their rebounding will look with DiJonai Carrington out due to her rib injury. Carrington’s hustle under the glass has been huge for the Wings, so Dallas will need someone to step up and fill that gap—not an easy task against a tough Phoenix front line.
Given how things are shaping up, I’ve got to lean toward the Mercury snagging another win on the road. Their streak is no fluke; they’ve just looked sharper in closing out those tough away games. Dallas has home-court advantage, but with injuries and questions about who will step up in the paint, they might struggle to keep pace with Phoenix’s relentless scoring and ball movement. If Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas play to their usual high standard, it’s looking like Phoenix will walk away from College Park Center with their fifth straight road win. Think differently? That’s what makes WNBA hoops so much fun to follow!
