Phoenix Mercury, reeling after a disappointing season and missing the playoffs, host the Portland Fire — fresh off their inaugural WNBA campaign — in a must-watch matchup. Despite being slight favorites, Phoenix’s hopes hinge on Kahleah Copper’s scoring, while Kelsey Plum’s absence leaves them vulnerable. Portland, though banged up, has shown grit at home as underdogs. With the spread tight at 2.5 points and total projected at 172.5, this could be a nail-biter — but I’m betting on the Fire to cover.
