Fever vs Mercury Betting Pick
This game will be played at Footprint Center at 10:00 PM ET on Monday, June 27, 2022.
The Phoenix Mercury were expected to contend for the WNBA title this year, but their season keeps going from bad to worse. Here, they are heavy favorites at home against the Indiana Fever, despite some recent roster upheaval. In our WNBA picks for Monday night, we break down Fever vs Mercury, as the Mercury hope their recent shakeup can propel them to a better second half of the season.
Why Bet The Fever:
✅ The Mercury won convincingly in the lone meeting between these teams in Indiana earlier this season. But they had Tina Charles in that game, who led all scorers with 29 points. With her out of the picture, the Mercury are far less dangerous to this Fever team that is much better on the perimeter than the interior.
✅ Phoenix has a losing record at home this season, dropping four of their first seven games at home this year. With their roster currently not in the best place, the fact that they have not been able to rely on playing at home to win games will not change against the Fever.

✅ Phoenix will be adding players to get to the requisite number of roster spots for this game. But nobody that they add could be as good as Tina Charles. The roster hit of the Charles buyout is a big one, especially as the Mercury were already forced to play without their best player in Brittney Griner.
Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever are tied for the worst record in the WNBA coming into this game. They are 5-14 on the year, and tied with the Minnesota Lynx at the bottom of the standings. But they are better than they were a season ago, and will aim to continue to be more competitive as an underdog in Phoenix on Monday night.
The Fever have to like their chances for this game more than they did against the Mercury the last time they met. Tina Charles is gone for the Mercury, which will allow the Fever to be more competitive given that their real weakness comes on the interior. Without a true interior threat available for the Mercury, the Fever should be able to play a more evenly matched contest given that their guards can compete with those of Phoenix.
Phoenix Mercury
Over the weekend, the Phoenix Mercury bought out Tina Charles’ contract, in what was a shocking move after a terrible start to the season. That same day, they beat the Dallas Wings on the road as a seven-point underdog. Here, they will look to keep moving in a positive direction post-Charles, but that could be a tall task.
When a team is lacking depth to the degree that the Mercury is right now, sustaining momentum is difficult. There is some veteran leadership on the Mercury that could help alleviate those concerns. But against a Fever team moving in the right direction, the question is how a shorthanded Mercury team will fare as the demands on the remaining players increase.
