Mercury are viewed as longshots to win the WNBA title in the final month of the season in Arizona sports betting.
The Phoenix Mercury have encountered many obstacles this season, both on and off the basketball court, but they have shown great resilience and determination.
The team has been hit with a series of devastating events, including the loss of franchise star Brittany Griner to Russian captivity and veteran guard Kia Nurse being sidelined with an ACL injury.
Phoenix is currently 10-15 in the WNBA’s regular season, trailing Las Vegas by seven games in the Western Conference. They are only ahead of the Minnesota Lynx, who have a 9-15 record this season.
Tonight at 7 PM Arizona time, the Mercury will be looking to recover from their previous game as they face off against the 15-10 Washington Mystics at Footprint Center in Phoenix. This game will be their second match following the WNBA All-Star Game last weekend.
Phoenix won the first game against Washington this season with a score of 99-90, but lost the second game of the two-game road trip with a score of 83-65.
