Dallas Wings vs Phoenix Mercury Preview
This will be the first meeting of the 2025 season between the Dallas Wings and the Phoenix Mercury. So far, this has been a completely different campaign for both teams. Dallas is fighting to hang on, having won just one out of their first 10 games under their new coach, Chris Koclanes.
However, the team should look better against the Mercury, as Paige Bueckers is set to return after missing four consecutive games. She is off to a solid start, averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds.
On the other hand, Phoenix is fourth in the league with six wins in its first 10 games. Satou Sabally has been on a roll this season, averaging 20.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Surely, she will prove to be a handful for Dallas’ defense.

Dallas Wings vs Phoenix Mercury Betting Tips
Arike Ogunbowale’s points total for this game is 16.5. This is just a touch over her season average of 16.3 points per game, but Ogunbowale could surpass it against Phoenix. Bet on the over.
Meanwhile, Satou Sabally’s points total for this game is 21.5. This is also slightly higher than her season average of 20.5 points. However, Sabally has been in fine form and should be able to surpass the mark.
Dallas Wings vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction
The Phoenix Mercury are favorites to win at Footprint Center and will likely make life difficult for the Wings. Even with Paige Bueckers returning, Dallas will struggle to keep pace with the Mercury. Expect a low-scoring game with the points total staying below 166.5.
Our prediction: The Mercury will win.
