The Phoenix Mercury host the Indiana Fever as 5.5-point favorites Thursday, with a total of 170.5 points. They last faced each other July 30, when the Fever outgunned Phoenix, 107-101, even without the injured Caitlin Clark. The Mercury were furious with their defensive effort, and Indiana’s ability to shoot over 50 percent from the field and 46 percent from 3-point territory. I expect a much more spirited and focused defensive effort Thursday.

Phoenix has no issue with that style of play. Plus, the Fever are ending a four-game road trip in which they ran out of steam in their last game against the high-paced Los Angeles Sparks.
