Mercury vs. Sun Preview
The Phoenix Mercury, winners of two straight and three of four, hit the road to face a Sun team playing a back-to-back and coming off a contentious loss to the Fever.
Connecticut has lost three straight games, though there may be value on the Sun tonight. Tina Charles (20 points) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (14 points) led the Sun in scoring Tuesday and could — along with Marina Mabrey (16.5 points per game on average) play a big role tonight.
On the other side, Phoenix is led by Satou Sabally, who averages 20.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, and Alyssa Thomas, who averages 14.4 points per game. Thomas has scored 10 or more points in all seven games this season and Sabally has dropped 20 or more in three straight.
All that being said, let's get to tonight's Mercury vs. Sun best bet.
