Sun vs Mercury Prediction
The Mercury are flexing their muscle lately as one of the best teams in the league, and they can still close in on the second seed if this continues. The Sun have lost and failed to cover each of their last 3 games, and now their injury report is piling up. We’re seeing added names this time of year for teams that don’t have anything to play for.
The Mercury beat the Sun by 16 points a month ago. The favorite has covered 5 of the last 6 games between the Sun and Mercury. The only concern here is that it’s an early start time for a team on a west coast body clock. Give me the Mercury in a blowout.
