Lay The Money With Mercury Against 14.5 Point Spread

• Phoenix Mercury -14.5 favorites vs. Connecticut Sun.
• The Sun have lost their last three games by an average of 22 points.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – There is just one WNBA game on the docket for Wednesday night and it is between the Phoenix Mercury and the Connecticut Sun at 7 PM EST at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Mercury vs Sun Game Odds

The Mercury are tied for third place in the WNBA with an 8-4 record through 12 games while the Sun are second to last at 2-9.

Legal sports betting sites list the Mercury as heavy favorites, giving them -1100 odds to win outright and a 14 and a half point cushion.

Bettors should lean towards the Mercury to cover the spread at -115 odds for the best value bet in this game.

Connecticut enters the game on the second night of a back-to-back after losing to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, which extends their current losing streak to three games. They have lost each of those three games by double digits and have lost by an average of 22 points per game.

Being at home has not proven to be much of an advantage for the Sun thus far, as they have gone 1-4 when playing in Connecticut. Two of their home losses have come by 20+ points. In their most recent home game this past Sunday, they lost by 12 points to the 3-8 Chicago Sky, who have the second worst scoring offense in the league.

Phoenix has gone 2-2 on the road, but each of those losses came against teams with winning records in the league-leading Minnesota Lynx and the Seattle Storm. The Mercury are on a two-game winning streak and have won three of their last four games.

They rank just eighth out of the 13 teams in the league in points per game, but are fifth in points allowed per game, giving up just 77.6 points on average.

Connecticut ranks dead last in both categories, scoring 71.3 points per game while allowing 88.2 points per game. In other words, losing this game by 15 or more points would be right around the norm for the Sun.

WNBA betting sites give the Sun -115 odds to score both over or under 72 points in tonight’s game, and bettors could look to parlay the under with the Mercury against the spread.
