Records & Standings:
Phoenix Mercury: 10‑4 (6‑4 West), riding a four-game win streak and 4‑2 in road games.
Chicago Sky: 3‑8 (1‑6 East), fifth in the East, just 1‑3 at home.
Key Storylines
Mercury’s momentum: Fresh off a win over New York (Monique Akoa Makani 21 pts), averaging 80.5 PPG and strong rebounding (33.8 RPG). Alyssa Thomas (14.8 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 9.0 APG) and Satou Sabally (~19.5 PPG in last 10) lead the charge.
Sky’s struggle at home: Allowing 86.3 PPG and shooting defenses near 46%, their offense is inconsistent (75.3 PPG avg). Ariel Atkins (12.6 PPG, 5.3 APG) and Kamilla Cardoso (11.5 PPG, 7.1 RPG) are the bright spots.
Injury drag: Phoenix is missing Megan McConnell; Chicago without Moriah Jefferson and Courtney Vandersloot (ACL, season‑ending). This absence likely disrupts Chicago’s offensive fluidity.
Mercury vs. Sky Prediction
Phoenix’s balanced scoring and defensive strength should control the game. Chicago, with limited backcourt resources and relying heavily on Atkins and Reese, will struggle to keep pace.
The O/U (160.5) seems fair—I’ll lean under, as both teams have been hovering near that mark, and a controlled pace from Phoenix is likely.
Mercury vs. Sky Prediction: UNDER 161
