Phoenix Mercury (-165) vs. Atlanta Dream Bovada

Phoenix Mercury (-165) vs. Atlanta Dream

Phoenix enters this game on a rough skid, having lost four of five including a 107–101 setback at Indiana last Wednesday. Even though Alyssa Thomas continues to shine, the Mercury defense has faltered—allowing 87.4 points per game over that stretch.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream have won three of four, most recently grinding out an 88–85 victory in Dallas. Yet they could be vulnerable heading into Friday’s matchup. Brittney Griner is listed as doubtful and Jordin Canada as questionable.

With Atlanta likely shorthanded, Phoenix projects as the steadier, more complete squad. I’m taking the Mercury outright at −165 on the moneyline. They’ve got the experience and depth to exploit a weakened Dream roster—especially if key players sit.
