Lynx vs. Mercury Preview, Prediction
The Mercury stormed back for one of the largest playoff comeback wins in WNBA history in Game 2.
Phoenix now returns home and will carry that momentum into tonight's matchup. The Mercury have been outstanding on their home floor this season (15-7 SU).
I expect a close back-and-forth contest that favors the dog in this matchup.
One player I'm backing tonight is Alyssa Thomas. She has done a little bit of everything for the Mercury this season.
The veteran was outstanding and a huge part of the comeback win in Game 2. She should get 12 or more points in this contest.
Thomas has cashed this prop in all five postseason games.
Best Bets: Phoenix Mercury +4 & Alyssa Thomas 12+ Points (+110, bet365)
