Randy’s Pick

The Phoenix Mercury are an experienced team that could easily check out these next couple of weeks, as this season has been a disaster. A Dallas Wings blowout victory wouldn’t be surprising. However, let’s not act like the Wings are lighting the world on fire, as they just lost back to back games to the Lynx. The Wings should win, but I’m not comfortable laying thick lines with them. It’s Mercury and the points or pass for me.
