mercury vs. Lynx Game 4: Top Parlay Picks & Prediction as Phoenix Fights for Survival
Phoenix, AZ - Facing elimination, the Phoenix Mercury seek to extend their WNBA semi-final series against the Minnesota Lynx to a decisive Game 5 tonight. Following a narrow Game 3 loss, Mercury fans and bettors alike are eyeing potential same-game parlays to capitalize on key player performances. FanDuel sportsbook currently offers intriguing odds on Alyssa Thomas achieving a triple-double and Monique Akoa-Makani exceeding her assist average.
The Mercury’s season hangs in the balance, needing a win to avoid their playoff run ending at the hands of the Lynx. A victory would force a return to Minnesota for a winner-take-all Game 5. This matchup presents a compelling betting opportunity, particularly focusing on the playmaking abilities of Phoenix’s core players.
FanDuel lists Alyssa Thomas’s odds of recording a triple-double at +350. Thomas, the league leader in triple-doubles this season, recently delivered a 20-11-11 performance in Game 3 against the Liberty. Her consistent usage and central role within the Mercury’s offense provide a high volume of opportunities for points, rebounds, and assists, making her a strong candidate for another milestone performance.
Another potential parlay leg centers on Monique Akoa-Makani surpassing 7 assists, currently priced at +720. While averaging 2.7 assists per game, Akoa-makani has demonstrated the capability of reaching 6 assists in multiple games this season, including matchups against the Aces and Fever. If the Mercury stagger her minutes alongside Alyssa Thomas, the increased playmaking potential could make this a valuable, albeit long-shot, addition to a parlay.
