The Phoenix Mercury will take on the Dallas Wings at the College Park Center. It'll be the 3rd time these 2 teams play each other this season. They split the first 2 games with a win each.

Dallas has struggled this season with a 4-15 record and only 6th in the West. They're currently on a 2-game skid and are 1-9 in their last 10 games. At home, they aren't much better than the road with a 2-5 record.

Arike Ogunbowale leads this team offensively. She is averaging 23.7 points, 4.9 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game. Bigs Natasha Howard and Teaira McCowan help keep this team in it on offense and defense. Dallas ranks 4th for rebounds per game with 35.6.

This team ranks in the bottom of the league in most offensive categories. They're 10th in pace and 8th in both points per game and offensive rating. It's going to take a lot to set this ship straight.

Phoenix will try to get back in the win column after loss to Sun

Phoenix guard Diana Taurasi makes a move around Dallas forward Maddy Siegrist.

The Mercury have been up and down this year. They had a nice little boost when Brittney Griner returned from injury, but since have lost their last 2 games. In their last 10 games, they are 5-5 and are 2-3 in their last 5 games.

They are not very good on the road with a 2-6 record. The offense on this team isn't the worst with Griner, Diana Taurasi and newly add Kahleah Copper. Phoenix is 5th in points per game, 3rd in pace and 7th in offensive rating.

Defensively, they're not the best and it hurts them. They're 9th in defensive rating, 8th in steals and 10th in rebounding. This is an area they need to get better in because it will cause them to never get ahead.

Let's check out the odds and get into the picks.

With all the trouble Dallas has been having, it's hard to back them. The sportsbooks are also giving us a short line, which makes me lean with Phoenix even more.

I like the Mercury to cover the 4.5 points tonight. They won their last game against the Wings by 7 points in double OT and that was with Griner who had a 24-point performance. Copper put up 29 points and Taurasi had a 20 piece herself.

After that game, I think that Phoenix has Dallas' number. I expect them to come out fast and try to get an early lead. The bigger that lead is early, the harder it's going to be for Dallas to get back into the game.

For some props, I like Griner to get her points. The line should come out around 19.5 points. I also like Natasha Cloud to get her assists which will probably be around 6.5.
