The Phoenix Mercury visit the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET, with Golden State laying 7.5 points at home. The Valkyries are -310 on the moneyline, Phoenix is +240, and the total sits at 161.5 in a matchup where the expansion side continues to command real market respect.
Golden State has been one of the stronger stories of the WNBA season, but this number creates a buy point on Phoenix. The Mercury have finally strung together two wins in a row, and while those victories came against weaker opponents, confidence matters for a veteran team with enough talent to be better than its early-season perception.

Phoenix Mercury vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction
Phoenix still has the personnel to compete. Kahleah Copper gives the Mercury scoring punch, Alyssa Thomas brings physicality and playmaking, and the overall talent level is stronger than the market has treated it at times. If Phoenix is starting to stabilize, catching more than seven points is valuable against a team that still has to prove it can consistently win by margin.
Golden State’s rise has been impressive, and the Valkyries deserve credit for playing beyond typical expansion expectations. They have defended well, competed physically, and turned home games into difficult spots for opponents. The concern is that the market may now be pricing them closer to their ceiling, especially against a Mercury team capable of making this tighter than the spread suggests.
Phoenix does not need to win outright for this to be the right side. The Mercury simply need to keep the game connected, lean on their veteran talent, and avoid the long scoring droughts that allow Golden State to stretch the margin. With back-to-back wins in hand, Phoenix should enter with more confidence and a cleaner offensive approach.

The Valkyries may still have enough to win at home, but the spread is giving Phoenix too much room. The Mercury have the talent and current momentum to compete on the road and stay inside the number.
