The Mercury are going to rest players in addition to Allen and Osborne being out due to injury, and Copper is still questionable for this game.The Mercury are an older team and will want to rest players in this game before the playoffs. They don't want to incur fresh injuries and don’t need the game. The Storm have Jewel Loyd still listed as questionable and Magbegor is out. The Mercury The Storm have played the Mercury three times this season and beat them twice. The Mercury have struggled with their offense since the break and they only put up over 80 points once in their three games versus the Storm. This game will probably stay under as their other three games did stay under the total. Even in the game the Mercury won, they only put up a combined 165 points while the other two games stayed well under at 142 and 156 combined points. Don’t see a lot of effort in this game as both rest up players and this should be a slower slog of a game with plenty of missed shots. These two have gone Under the total in their last four games. When in Phoenix, these two played their last seven of ten games there to the Under. The Under is 9-3 in the Mercury’s last 12 versus a team with a winning straight up record. These two are just playing out the string so go with the Under.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
