Match Preview 


Phoenix Mercury were one of the top-performing teams in July but are still tagged as underdogs for tonight’s clash against playoff contenders Atlanta Dream. The latest spread is 4.5 points in favor of the home side. 

Mercury Did a Great Job in July


After a disastrous start to the new campaign, Phoenix Mercury found great momentum over the last couple of weeks and revived their playoff hopes, currently sitting sixth in the Western Conference with a 12-19 record. 

They have earned four victories in their last five appearances, with Kahleah Copper leading the scoring effort by averaging close to 21 points per game this season, while Alyssa Thomas is averaging just over eight assists. 

In their most recent outing, Phoenix defeated Chicago Sky 106-101 in Illinois despite Chicago’s strong home record. Copper finished with 31 points, while Thomas produced arguably her best performance of the season with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. 

Dream Looking to Respond 


Atlanta Dream have been one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference this season, entering this clash in second place with an 18-11 record despite their recent setback. 

The Georgia side won six of their previous seven games, beating the Dallas Wings, Chicago Sky, Los Angeles Sparks and Toronto Tempo. Allisha Gray has led the scoring with close to 19 points per contest, while Angel Reese continues to dominate the boards with 12 rebounds per game. 

That impressive run came to an end two nights ago with a heavy 109-87 home defeat to reigning champions Las Vegas Aces. Atlanta struggled defensively, allowing 62% shooting from the field while making just 4 of 24 attempts from three-point range.

Verdict

Atlanta should be highly motivated to respond after their disappointing defensive display against Las Vegas. They have been excellent at Gateway Center Arena this season with a 10-4 home record, and I am backing the Dream to cover the –4.5 handicap.
