Wednesday

YTD: 11-8

Got some time on my hands right now so can put down my thoughts. We have a nice 3 game card tomorrow.

Very early game, Aces @ Wings. This game tips off at 1pm Dallas time on a Wednesday afternoon so not sure how many fans will be in the building for this game. Seems like a very odd time for the Wings to host a game. The Wings after this game will get some breathing space as they will face Mercury, Sparks and Dream after this horrendous 5 game stretch where they played Storm x 3 and Aces x 2. Line should be around Aces -6.5 and total 168 I would assume. Aces don’t seem to have any injuries and the Wings will be without Sabally not sure about Mabrey. 

Dream @ Sun: Sun off a lot of rest, haven’t played for around 5 days heading into this contest and the Dream are the same after their close loss to Phoenix. First meeting of the season for these two, you would have to side with the Sun at home, off a loss to the Sky and well rested. Dream scored 88 against the Mercury the other night but don’t think they will get close to 80 against the Suns defense. The question is though, will the Sun score enough? Line I think might be Sun -11 and total 160. Sun healthy apart from Jasmine Thomas and the Dream might be missing Wheeler and I have no idea what is happening with Tiffany Hayes. Apparently knee injury which is taking longer to heal. 

Last game is Mercury @ Fever and the Mercury on a B2B and travelling over night from Washington. Would have to say I lean the over if the total isn’t insanely high. Mercury coming off a fairly bad shooting game tonight and they can unleash some frustration on Indy if they want. First meeting of the season and Fever coming off a nice win in Minny the other night and even though Minny were depleted, the Fever at least showed some fight. Line will be short, but I think Mercury might be a -2.5 fav with a total around 164. Need to see if Mercury will rest Taurasi on the B2B as she is 40 years old. The rest of the team can back up but not sure about her. I wish they would unleash Tina more because it feels like they are holding her back. Indy seem to be healthy right now and I wouldn’t be able to go with a side in this game due to both teams being inconsistent but I do lean the over. 

Will wait for lines before deciding, BOL everyone 

Oh nice, one Aussie book has lines up already. Not sure why that Sun line is single digits 

Aces -8.5 and 170.5 total 

Sun -8.5 and 154.5 total 

Mercury -1.5 and 167.5 total 

Wait for your final call 

 Mercury @ Fever: Over 169.5

Was waiting to see if DT would suit up for this game and it looks like she is. Skylar on Twitter before saying that flying and playing on the same day doesn’t sit right with her. So they must have left Washington this morning to fly to Indy, it doesn’t seem that far though (1 hour 30 min flight) and at least they got to sleep after the Washington game last night. Fever love to push the pace, hopefully they do that again tonight but also hit their shots and Mercury follow. 

@AussieDownUnder

 Let’s go

Mercury @ Fever: Over 169.5 

That was close 

@lik122

 Did not look good after the 1Q but the 2Q was amazing.. The fourth really died down a bit and the fouling in the last minute definitely helped us 

@AussieDownUnder

The last two fouls helped a lot 

If NBA, we probably toasted already 

NICE JOB UNDER GLAD YOU TOOK THE OVER

@AussieDownUnder

 I thought we already lost oz like vivians fouled taurasi with 28 secs left and phoenix up by 10 pts lol
