Dream vs Mercury Injury Report

Rhyne Howard is out for the Dream due to a knee injury. Brittney Griner is doubtful with a neck issue, while Jordin Canada is questionable with an illness.

The Mercury don’t have any players listed on their injury report.

Dream vs Mercury Prediction

The Mercury got healthy and got worse. It’s weird and makes backing them in the favorite role on the road questionable. However, the Dream have some questionable losses lately, and they’re banged up. Likely no Griner and possibly no Canada. On paper, at full strength, the Mercury are as good as any team in the league. The Mercury are bound to turn things around sooner than later. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mercury on the road.
