Phoenix Mercury (10-18) and Golden State Valkyries (19-8) will meet on Wednesday night at PHX Arena. The Mercury will look to secure a big win that could turn their largely disappointing campaign around. The last season’s finalists find themselves second-last in the Western Conference, 12 games behind the Lynx. However, their form has slightly improved lately, going 5-5 in the last 10 games while winning their previous two assignments. A win could help them add more consistency to their game.
Golden State Valkyries, on the other side of the hardwood, have been highly impressive this year. They’re second in the Western Conference, just 2.5 games behind the Lynx, having gone 9-1 in their last 10 matches. The Valkyries suffered a painful 82-90 defeat at home to the Mystics before the All-Star break. It was a surprising performance, considering they boast the most consistent defense at home this season. They’ll be keen to bounce back to winning ways on Wednesday.

Our Phoenix Mercury vs Golden State Valkyries Prediction
It’s difficult to see past a win for the Valkyries in this game. They’re the in-form side and have defeated the Mercury in their last two clashes. The Valkyries rely on their efficient defensive discipline to stifle opponents' attacks, especially at home. They boast the best defensive record this season, averaging 76.4 opponent points so far. This could be the weapon they need to outplay the Mercury and cover the -3.5 spread. Phoenix averages 83 PPG this season, which is only good for 11th. However, the hosts are picking up form, with players like Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas capable of breaking down even the meanest defenses. We, therefore, think the total points will go over 155.5. Still, the Valkyries should win it.
Our prediction for Phoenix Mercury vs Golden State Valkyries: Golden State Valkyries on the -3.5 line.
