Indiana Fever to Host Phoenix Mercury in WNBA Action
Friday Night Fever
The Indiana Fever will welcome the Phoenix Mercury to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday at 7:30 pm ET. The game will be Indiana's final home game until August 16th when they host the Mercury again.
It will be the Fever's first game since the 2024 Paris Olympic break, while it will be the Mercury's second.
Mercury Riding High
The Mercury are coming off a 93-80 win over the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night. Brittney Griner led the way with 27 points and 10 rebounds, while Diana Taurasi added 22 points.
The Mercury are now 14-7 on the season and in second place in the Western Conference standings.
Fever Looking to Rebound
The Fever are coming off a 92-85 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night. Victoria Vivians led the way with 22 points, while Aaliyah Boston added 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Fever are now 7-12 on the season and in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Key Matchup
The key matchup in this game will be in the post between Griner and Boston. Griner is one of the most dominant players in the WNBA, while Boston is a rising star who is averaging 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game this season.
Prediction
The Mercury are the clear favorites in this game. They have more experience and talent than the Fever. However, the Fever are playing at home and will be looking to make a statement after the Olympic break. I predict the Mercury will win, but the Fever will keep it close.
