Mercury vs. Valkyries Preview
The Mercury, winners of two straight, will hit the road tonight to face the Valkyries. Phoenix has played well all season, but will be without Kahleah Cooper, Lexi Held and Satou Sabally tonight.
Meanwhile, Golden State is coming off a tough, two-point loss to the Aces. However, the Valkyries are an impressive 7-3 at home this season.
Mercury vs. Valkyries Prediction
There's a low total in tonight's matchup, so we'll try to take advantage.
The Mercury are missing some key offensive players, but should still be able to produce at a high level in this matchup.
Meanwhile, Golden State has found a rhythm on offense and has score 80 or more points in three consecutive games.
Additionally, I'm going to target Alyssa Thomas tonight. The Mercury will play this game without some of their top scorers and those absences will present more scoring opportunities for Thomas.
The veteran has averaged 15.3 points per game this season.
Best Bet: Over 158.5 Leg 2, Alyssa Thomas 15+ Points
