• The Mercury came up short at home against the Aces on Sunday, losing 84-81.

• These two teams last met on June 11, in a game that the Phoenix won 93-80.

The Wings are starting to heat up as they face an uphill battle to return to contention. In our Mercury vs Wings WNBA Pick, Dallas hosts the surging Mercury, who now sit second in the overall WNBA standings.

Mercury Looking Like Contenders

Despite coming up short against the Aces on Sunday, Phoenix has been scorching hot lately. They had won six games in a row prior to the defeat, jumping the defending champs to climb into 2nd place in the overall standings. The work the Mercury did over the offseason, bringing in Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas, has proved to be a tremendous success. They’ll aim to keep the ball rolling against the vastly improving Wings.

Wings are on the Rise

After starting the season 1-11, the Wings have won 4 of their last 6 games, with each game being very competitive. This is a major move in the right direction for a Dallas team that has struggled quite a bit in the early going. Paige Bueckers remains on-and-off the court with injuries but her impact is massive whenever she is available. Combined with Arike Ogunbowale heating up and the Wings are on the rise.

Mercury vs Wings WNBA Pick

This is a pretty interesting matchup between two of the hottest teams in the league. Whether or not Paige Bueckers plays will surely make a difference, but the Wings seem to have enough to juice to compete regardless. Keeping up with Phoenix will be tough, but I’d be surprised if Dallas is fully blown out on their own home court with how they’ve been playing. Take the Wings to keep it close and cover the spread here.
