The world is all on Dallas here, so this sets up as a nice public fade right off the bat. Dallas has beaten the Mercury in the last three head-to-head meetings, so Phoenix has revenge. Yes Taurasi is out and Griner is questionable to play, but we still think the Mercury can hang tough as why would Dallas care about them? Phoenix is a bottom dweller in the west and we can see Dallas not taking this game seriously from the get-go. Let's roll with the Mercury here.
