In their two previous meetings earlier this season each team won once (Mercury on the road by 23 points and Mystics at home by 6). Mercury are 6-2 at home so far season, while the Mystics are 8-3 on the road. Mystics are better offensively, scoring a league-best of 86.8 ppg to Mercury’s 74.5, while Mercury are better defensively, allowing 74.4 ppg to Mystics’ 77.4. Mystics have better percentages both in field goals (45% to 41.4%) and in 3-pointers (34.1% to 33.8%). They are also better in dimes made (20.8 to 17.6), in turnovers committed (11.4 to 12.4) and in boards grabbed (32.3 to 31.7). Bookmakers give the Mystics a -6 spread and expect them to beat the odds for the road win against an inferior Mercury team.
