DAL vs PHO Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Dallas Wings vs Phoenix Mercury

DAL vs PHO Dream11: The WNBA is my favorite basketball league. Yes, they get flak for not dunking but they have put a lot of work, into playing at a high level, and to reach the WNBA, a woman needs to be on her peak game. Yes, the athleticism level may not be as much as in the WNBA or famous men’s basketball leagues, but hey, there is a lot of other stuff to watch for! In this game, the Dallas Wings will host the Phoenix Mercury.

The Wings have won two and lost two games, losing their last game to the Mystics 68:84 as Arike Ogunbowale disappeared and scored just 6 points while the other starters at least got in double-figures. On the other hand, the Phoenix Mercury has lost two and won two games. They lost their last encounter versus the Aces away from home despite a 17-point night by Tina Charles

Host: Phoenix Mercury
Visitors: Dallas Wings
Match Timing: 20 May, @ 07:30 AM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: Footprint Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Wings are just too streaky, the Mercury’s defense can struggle

The Wings have lost two out of four games and one thing was common in two losses, Arike Ogunbowale scored below 10 points. Arike is a streak shooter who can have consistency issues but if she buries a couple of jumpers, she can get in the groove. Harrison has been in incredible form while Thornton and Mabrey have been impressive too. So, yes, it is up to Arike now to take the Wings to the next level.

On the other hand, the Mercury has looked a bit off on both ends of the floor. There is no doubt that Britney Griner’s absence has shaken up the defensive end and also the offensive end. Meanwhile, Tina Charles’ inclusion has been huge in terms of scoring and rebounding but the backcourt especially Diana Taurasi has missed defensive assignments regularly. Diggins-Smith has been a little off too, not scoring as much as expected while Shey Peddy and Diamond DeShields have their work cut out. Brianna Turner needs to do more offensively.

Performance Predictions
