Mercury vs. Liberty Preview
The 2026 WNBA season has been a tale of inconsistency for both squads heading into this Friday night matchup at Barclays Center. The Phoenix Mercury sit at 2-6 and have dropped four straight games, struggling to close out tight contests despite competitive efforts.
Meanwhile, the New York Liberty are 4-4, coming off a solid home win but still navigating injuries and chemistry issues with their star-studded roster.
New York will look to cover at home against a Mercury team that has been playing better than their record suggests, but remains vulnerable on the road. Our PRO projections show strong value on one side, so let’s dive into the matchup tonight.
