Mercury vs Sun Betting Pick
This game will be played at Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.
On Tuesday night, the Connecticut Sun and Phoenix Mercury will face off at Mohegan Sun Arena. Both teams enter this week’s games in playoff positioning. But both teams will want to improve their seeding, starting with a win here. In our WNBA picks for Tuesday night, we look at Mercury vs Sun in a game that will have a major impact on the playoff picture.
Why Bet The Mercury:
✅ This is a game where the three-point shooting really favors the Phoenix Mercury. The Mercury rank third in the WNBA in made threes this season. On the flip side, the Sun make the second fewest threes per game in the league. While the Sun are likely to win this game, their disadvantage from distance will make it closer than anticipated.
✅ The Mercury lost on the road to the Liberty on Sunday. But bettors should not be discouraged by that. Phoenix got abnormally bad games from both Diana Taurasi and Skylar Diggins-Smith in New York. They shot a combined 8/30 in that game, after averaging 60 combined points per game the two games prior. Expect more from both of them in this contest.

✅ The Sun have not been blowing teams out at home recently. They have enjoyed just one double-digit win at home in their last six home games. While the Mercury have been a bad road team, the Sun have been far from elite at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Phoenix Mercury
The Phoenix Mercury lost by 20 points against the New York Liberty on Sunday. They were in the game until the fourth quarter, when they were outscored 30-19 by New York. Here, the Mercury will look to finish stronger than they did on Sunday. To do so, their stars will need to step up in a big way.
Right now, the trio of Diana Taurasi, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Sophie Cunningham are carrying the Mercury. With Taurasi and Diggins-Smith combining for just 25 points on Sunday, the Mercury had very little chance to win that game. They will need to do more on the offensive end to have a chance against the Sun.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun have split their last two games at home. They beat the Seattle Storm on Thursday, but fell in overtime on Sunday to the Chicago Sky. In this game, the Sun will look for a win that would move them closer to the top-two in the league standings. A loss, meanwhile, would put them in danger of falling from third to fourth place in the near future.
Connecticut will have an undeniable rebounding advantage coming into this game. Phoenix is lacking size after buying Tina Charles out and with Brittney Griner’s situation ongoing in Russia. But the Sun have a decided disadvantage outside of the paint here. It will be up to Connecticut to force the ball into the paint whenever possible to take advantage of what they do better than Phoenix.
