A total of three WNBA games are set to be played in the Commissioner’s Cup on Tuesday, one of which will feature a Western Conference matchup between the Golden State Valkyries and the Phoenix Mercury. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Valkyries and the Mercury.

Phoenix enters this game with an overall record of 4-8, but is 2-1 in the Commissioner’s Cup. Despite their poor record, the Mercury have won each of their last two games, both of which were in the Commissioner’s Cup. Further, they have been better on the road this season, suggesting that they could have success in this game against Golden State.

Golden State, on the other hand, enters this game with an overall record of 6-5. That said, they are 1-2 in the Commissioner’s Cup standings. The Valkyries have lost their last two games in a row, and could continue to struggle in this matchup with the Mercury.

Our Golden State Valkyries vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Valkyries are heavy favorites in this game; however, the Mercury look to be the best betting option. As bad as the Mercury have been this season, their recent games suggest they could be close to turning it around. They have played decently on the road as well, going 3-4 SU and ATS this season. 

These teams have already met this season, with the Valkyries winning 95-79 in the second game of the season. That being said, given the improved play shown by Phoenix recently, and the lack of play shown by Golden State during their two-game losing streak, our Golden State Valkyries vs Phoenix Mercury prediction is: Phoenix Mercury +8.5.

Prediction:

 

Phoenix Mercury +8.5
