Connecticut Sun vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Connecticut Sun are the better team and should be favored at home as they look to start a season 6-0 for the first time in franchise History. However, the Sun are just 1-4 ATS on the season, and each of their last 3 Games have been decided by 4 or fewer points. The Phoenix Mercury have covered 3 of their 5 Games, and two of their wins this season were outright upsets as underdogs. The Mercury have the offense to hang around, as they’re third in scoring and second in three point shooting. Give me the Mercury and the free buckets.
