Phoenix Mercury vs Dallas Wings Prediction: Recent form
The Dallas Wings are having a season of their own after putting themselves in the middle of the points table. They have had a mixed bag of results where they have won nine and lost nine games in 18 appearances so far.
While their away record is 5-4, they have a long way to overturn their slightly underwhelming home record. In the last 5 outings, they have comfortably displaced Fever, Mercury and Sparks with losses coming against Aces and Dream.
On the contrary, the Phoenix Mercury seems to have fallen into a deep pit that they themselves dug in the past few weeks. Even though the initial getaway was turbulent, they more than made it up in the games that followed.
But their last few outings have been kind of a bummer for the fans as they are tattering under pressure in 5th place in the Western Conference. In their last match, they were thwarted by a confident Lynx side, handing them their third loss on the trot.
