Atlanta Dream vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Atlanta Dream have won back to back Games and deserve some credit for staying in the playoff race somehow, but excuse me if I’m still not ready to get behind them with confidence. The Dream are still 8 Games below a .500 record and have probably the worst offense in the WNBA. The Mercury are simply the better team, they’re 16-11 ATS on the season, and they need to take advantage of Games like this to keep pace in the standings. The Mercury are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Games when favorites of 4 or more points. I won’t overthink this one, and I’ll lay the two points with the Mercury on the road.
