The Mercury will be without Sami Whitcomb due to a knee injury.

Wings vs Mercury Prediction

The Mercury will be healthier than it’s been recently, but that doesn’t mean much. The Mercury is broken and can’t be trusted. It’s just that simple. The Wings still have issues defensively, and with the injury to Sims, they’re limited in the post. However, the Wings are lighting it up offensively, and they’ve cashed seven tickets. I’m not excited to lay this many points with the Wings, but this has more to do with the lack of trust I have in the Mercury. I have to lay the points with the Wings.
