The Wings are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest, 4-15 ATS in their last 19 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Mercury are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Mercury last 5 overall.

The Dallas Wings have lost all 11 road games this season where they lose by an average of 12.9 points and shoot 36.5 percent from the field. The Phoenix Mercury are playing some of their best ball of the season as of late, which includes averaging 85.4 points in their last five games and shooting 47.7 percent from the field. Based on the Wings struggles on the road, I'm almost forced to eat the chalk with the Mercury.
