These two teams played on Thursday, with an 11-point Dallas win at home, but on Phoenix's court, I think Alyssa Thomas and Co. will get revenge. While the Mercury will be without Satou Sabally (ankle) and Kahleah Copper (hamstring), Dallas is also shorthanded without Arike Ogunbowale (thumb) and DiJonai Carrington (ribs). Last week, the Wings relied on rookies Aziaha James and JJ Quinerly to put up 43 points, and it seems like a huge stretch that they'll be capable of doing that again. So while Paige Bueckers should get her numbers, I have Phoenix winning 87 to 80 as part of our Wings vs. Mercury prediction.

Sure, both teams are missing two of their top three players, but Dallas's lack of defense has helped it hit the Over in six of its last nine games. The Wings continue to be a massive liability on the defensive end, with Chris Koclanes' team sitting bottom four in defensive rating (108.6), points allowed per game (85.1), 3-point percentage allowed (36.5%), and made free throws allowed per game (18.9).

So while Thomas will be without Sabally and Copper, the Mercury should still be able to give Dallas problems. Phoenix ranks in the top five in points per game (83.9), offensive rating (106.6), made 3-pointers per game (10.3), and assists per game (20.7). Thomas (1.6, 117.2) and Monique Akoa-Makani (1.1, 118) are both top 20 in the W in offensive win shares and offensive rating.

They'll both need big showings again to win this time around against an offense-first Dallas squad. For as much as the Wings struggle to win, they do have a respectable offense thanks to Bueckers. Dallas is No. 6 in offensive rating (105.2) and has gone for 80-plus points in seven of its last nine games. With the Mercury's defense struggling lately, it's allowed 84-plus points in four straight, the Over is the safer play than the spread.

👀 Best WNBA player props for Wings vs. Mercury

🪽 Paige Bueckers Over 19.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📊 Best odds: -105 via Caesars ($10 pays $9.52)

If there's just one bet to place on this matchup for your Wings vs. Mercury predictions, it's the Over on Bueckers' points, and I'd even play this up to 21.5. She's had the Mercury's number all season, averaging 29 points against them in two outings while shooting 7-for-11 from three. 

The No. 1 pick is already one of the most lethal offensive players in the W, sitting top 10 in points per game (18.7), offensive win shares (1.7), and PER (21.8). Bueckers has gone Over 19.5 points in six of eight games since returning from injury, and she's averaging 21.7 points per game over that stretch.
