Our Portland Fire vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction
The Mercury are the small favorite in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. For one, the total has gone under in both meetings between these teams this season. This includes a 78-72 win for the Mercury in the first meeting and an 88-85 win for Portland in the second meeting.
Further, the extended FIBA break is likely not going to affect either team in terms of fatigue, but their players could be rusty in a live-game situation. Ultimately, neither team has been consistent offensively this season; therefore, our Portland Fire vs. Phoenix Mercury prediction is: Under 175.5 Total Points.
