Prediction for Phoenix Mercury vs Connecticut Sun

The Phoenix Mercury are falling apart and have lost 7 of their last 10 games. Now they could be without Kahleah Copper, which doesn't make things any better. I want nothing to do with the Mercury at this point. The Connecticut Sun still have a shot at second place, so there's motivation to win this game. Plus, the Sun have won all three games against the Mercury this season by double digits. I have no choice but to put the points on the Sun on the road.
