Dream vs Mercury Betting Pick
This game will be played at Footprint Center at 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, July 17, 2022.
The Phoenix Mercury and Atlanta Dream are both on the bubble in the WNBA playoff race. On Sunday, they face one another in a key contest in the postseason chase, in a game where key injuries on both sides could make a huge difference. In our WNBA picks for Sunday, we break down Dream vs Mercury, as we look for value in the betting markets in this significant showdown.
Why Bet The Mercury:
✅ The Dream will be without Rhyne Howard, Monique Billings, and Nia Coffey for this game in Phoenix. Howard is the most significant loss of all, as she is by far the most dynamic scorer for the Dream. While the Mercury will be without Diamond DeShields for this game, the loss of Howard is far more impactful and will hurt Atlanta immensely.
✅ Atlanta has lost three straight games by double figures, getting blown out by the Sun, Sky, and Mystics. The Dream have lost seven of their last eight on the road, and they have just one road win against top-10 teams in the WNBA standings this season. The road woes for the Dream have been staggering, and will continue here.

✅ Now that it looks like she is staying in Phoenix, Skylar Diggins-Smith is going to lead this Mercury team to some wins in the second half. She has been playing out of her mind, and concerns of her being dealt due to chemistry concerns are gone. Expect her to prove that she is the focal point for the Mercury against a Dream team missing some key pieces to slow her down.
Atlanta Dream
Things are starting to take a downward turn for the Atlanta Dream this WNBA season, as they have dropped to eighth place in the standings going into Sunday’s action. The Dream have exceeded expectations after last year’s disastrous performance, but they have gone into a recent tailspin. Here, the Dream will look to end a three-game losing streak, but will be without their most dangerous player once again.
With Rhyne Howard out, things get a lot easier for the defense of the Mercury. Phoenix is in the bottom-five in the WNBA in defensive rating, but the Dream may not be in position to take advantage of that without Howard available.
Phoenix Mercury
The Phoenix Mercury enter this contest against Atlanta in seventh place in the WNBA standings. They picked up a huge win at home against the Washington Mystics in their last outing, thanks in large part to a huge game from Skylar Diggins-Smith. Here, the Mercury will look to continue having success from the perimeter to move another step closer to a playoff appearance during a chaotic season.
Along with Diggins-Smith, Sophie Cunningham and Diana Taurasi have been firing on all cylinders from the perimeter as of late. While moving Cunningham into the starting lineup has caused interior defense problems, her shooting has made up for it so far.
