Phoenix Mercury at Minnesota Lynx 6/6/19 – WNBA Pick, Preview, Prediction

The Mercury have been a team that could actually show up decent at times, but the 1-1 record is one that actually shows the team has had some luck as well. The Mercury had their offense show up in the second game of the year to score a total of 86 points on the Aces very weak defense. The reason they were lucky? It comes from the fact that the first game the Storm contained the Mercury offense to 68 points. The Lynx have been able to play really well this season and that has shown up big and unexpectedly picked up a lot of close wins. The downside is the Lynx in the last game had their weak offense cost them as the Storm were able to beat them in Seattle by a score of 84-77.

Okay, this game is going to be a battle between the two teams. Yes, the Mercury have not played a ton on the year and that could cost them some game experience to the Lynx who have already played 4 games on the season. What else will not help the Mercury out is the fact that the team is relying really on a couple of players to help guide the team. However, with the weaker offensive showing and reliance on Fowles for quite a bit of production the Lynx will not be able to pull out the win as the offense is unable to keep pace to Phoenix. Final Score Prediction, Phoenix Mercury win 81-75.
