- Under 24.5 Points -110
The over is favored at 24.5 points. Wilson scored 21 and 28 points in Games 1 and 2, respectively.
As for the Mercury, two players are near the top of the projections for most points, guard Kajleah Copper and forward Satou Sabally.
Total Points – Kahleah Copper (PHO)
- Over 17.5 Points +110
- Under 17.5 Points -145
Total Points – Satou Sabally (PHO)
- Over 17.5 Points -110

Copper scored 21 and 23 points in Games 1 and 2, while Sabally brought in 19 and 22. Of the two Mercury players, Sabally is projected slightly ahead of Copper.
This is because Copper’s odds of scoring less than 17.5 (-145) are greater than Sabally’s odds of scoring less than 17.5 (-120).
