WNBA Picks and Props for Mercury at Lynx

Mercury +12.5 (-110)

The Mercury could be in store for a rude awakening against a championship contender tonight. While Phoenix has enjoyed a 5-2 start, it's been fortunate as Kahleah Copper -- who logged 21.1 points per game (PPG) last season -- has yet to debut this season due to a knee injury. Additionally, star forward Alyssa Thomas is now battling a calf injury.

It's difficult to replace this kind of production, and the Mercury have been leaning on several undrafted rookies -- including Monique Akoa Makani, Kitija Laksa, Kathryn Westbeld, and Lexi Held. This doesn't feel like a winning formula -- especially when three undrafted rookies are holding substantial backcourt roles.

With that said, the Lynx listed as heavy favorites isn't much of a surprise. However, 12.5 points feels a little harsh. Minnesota has failed to cover five consecutive games while Phoenix is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) over the last four. DRatings' game projections have the Lynx winning by about eight points.

The matchup is even there, for the Mercury take the fourth-most three-point shots per game while the Lynx surrender the fifth-most attempts per contest. Minnesota has the second-best offensive rating, but Phoenix has the defense to match it with the second-best defensive rating. At the very least, the Mercury have the tools to keep it close.

Satou Sabally to Make 2+ Threes (-158)

We mentioned Phoenix likely getting plenty of three-point looks tonight. Satou Sabally leads the team with 6.0 attempted threes per game. This surely plays a role in Sabally's team-best 21.3 PPG.

Despite shooting only 26.2% from downtown this season, she's made at least two three-pointers in four of seven games. Positive regression seems imminent in terms of efficiency, too, for Sabally shot 45.2% from beyond the arc a season ago in a limited 15-game sample size and 36.1% for the entire 2023 season. We saw some of that efficiency on Sunday with Sabally converting two of five three-point attempts (40.0%).

Looking at last season's sample size, Sabally made at least two three-pointers in 11 of 15 games. Plus, her volume is actually up to 6.0 triples attempted per game compared to 5.6 last season. On May 30, Sabally had her way with Minnesota by recording 26 points. She went 0-of-4 from three, though.

Once again, I'm banking on a better day. Considering her past scoring success against the Lynx, Sabally should be able to take advantage of a porous three-point defense.
