Two struggling WNBA sides, Phoenix Mercury (8-18) and Connecticut Sun (7-18), will battle for a vital win on Sunday night at the PHX Arena. The Mercury will be shooting to stop their five-game slide, leaving them second-last in the Western Conference. They’re coming off an 83-96 home defeat against the Sun on Saturday despite Kahleah Copper scoring 21 points. Bookmakers are backing them to get their sweet revenge at -170 moneyline odds.
Connecticut Sun, on the other hand, will be feeling super confident after outplaying the Mercury last time out. Leila Lacan had a memorable night, scoring a career-high of 26 points after shooting 10-of-13 from the field. Earlier, the Sun had defeated Portland Fire 90-87 at home to stop their two-game winless run. But despite these impressive wins, they’re still stuck at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, two games behind Chicago. They’re the exciting +130 underdogs tonight.

Our Phoenix Mercury vs Connecticut Sun Prediction
We don’t trust either side to win tonight. Phoenix Mercury have been disappointing lately, losing their last five matches and going 2-8 in their last 10 home games. The Sun haven’t fared any better on the road this year, losing eight of their 11 matches. However, they’ve done enough to convince us they can pull another upset tonight, having gone 5-5 in their last 10 matches. The Sun have shown renewed confidence in their offense lately, scoring 90+ points in three of their last four matches. But the Mercury have also looked great in offense lately, so we expect the total points to go over 160.5. The hosts have scored 80 or more points in three of their last four matches. We generally expect it to be a closely contested game with several momentum swings.
Our prediction for Phoenix Mercury vs Connecticut Sun: Over 160.5 points to hit.
