Indiana Fever vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Phoenix Mercury are the better team, and getting them in the underdog role is a bit of a head scratcher. However, the Mercury are on the end of a back to back, which isn’t common in the WNBA. The Indiana Fever is well rested, at home where they’ve played their best ball and need to keep winning as they fight for playoff seeding. Also, the Fever are 2-0 SU against the Mercury this season and have won 4 straight against them overall. This line also feels like a trap from oddsmakers. I’ll just lay the 3 points with the Fever at home.
