Atlanta Dream vs. Phoenix Mercury Prediction: WNBA Betting Odds

While Phoenix has lost four straight, they have won their last three home games. Fans are hoping that home turf will continue to give the 6-19 Mercury the advantage tonight.

Atlanta is now sitting at third in the Eastern Conference, behind the New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun. These two clubs last played on July 26, and Atlanta won that game 78-65.

Atlanta Dream

The Dream, who are now 14-11 on their season, last played the Washington Mystics and got the victory by a score of 80-73.

It was a big game for Allisha Gray, who played for 37 minutes and earned 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in that time.  Her season average is 17.8 and 5.1 rebounds per game, making her the team leader in points.

The well-performing Dream are currently the fourth-ranked club in the league, averaging 84.8 points per game. On the other side of the court they concede an average of 84.6 ppg, which puts them at 9th in that category.

Phoenix Mercury

Their last game was their fourth loss in a row, a 104-85 miss to the Chicago Sky. Those four matchups were all road games, however, and Phoenix has done a little better this year when they get to play in front of a home crowd. What doesn’t change, is that the Mercury are the second-worst team in the WNBA; only the Seattle Storm are below them in the rankings.

Veteran Diana Taurasi did her best in the game against the Sky, picking up 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists during her 26 minutes on the court. Taurisi averages 16.1 points per game and 3.6 rebounds. Teammate Brittney Griner is averaging 18.2 ppg and 6.7 rebounds per contest.

This team only averages 76 points per game while giving up  83.9 points.
