June 27th
Mercury/Fever over 169 (-110), 2*
This total is steaming up. 166 was available at some shops this morning, so I’m not getting the best of it. With that being said, Indiana has played the same way all year. Play up-tempo and try to outscore teams. Phoenix just lost their best player, Tina Charles. She didn’t want to be there anymore with the team struggling and asked to be released. Phoenix complied and won their first game without her Saturday night. The problem for them is, they already don’t have Griner. And their front court depth is very weak behind Turner, who isn’t much of a scorer. They are going to start playing a really small lineup with only one big, which means they will be looking to get up and down the court more. Phoenix scored 83 Saturday night, which is a sign of things to come. GL!
