Mercury vs Sky predictions
As the Phoenix Mercury head into their matchup against the Chicago Sky, all eyes will likely be on guard Kahleah Copper, who's been lighting up the scoreboard this season with an impressive average of 21.6 points per game. Even though she's listed as day-to-day, if she hits the court, expect big things. Her scoring prowess could really tip the scales in favor of Phoenix, especially with assist-leader Natasha Cloud potentially setting her up nicely to maximize scoring opportunities. Brittney Griner will also be pivotal under the hoops, grabbing rebounds and adding to her season average of 6.5 per game, keeping the Mercury competitive in the paint.
On the Chicago Sky front, they're feeling the absence of their rebounding powerhouse, Angel Reese, who remains sidelined. However, Chennedy Carter, notching 17.4 points per game, will need to step up and fill the scoring void left by Reese. Marina Mabrey, who leads the team with an average of 4.5 assists per game, will have to efficiently manage the ball and find new ways to facilitate scoring, pushing the Sky to compete fiercely at home against the visiting Mercury.
Considering the current dynamics and recent performance, Phoenix Mercury seems to have a slight edge over the Chicago Sky, despite their recent streak of losses. Assuming Kahleah Copper is healthy enough to play and maintain her scoring streak, Phoenix could very well snap their losing skid. However, underestimating the Chicago Sky, especially on their home turf, could prove costly. Yet, with the integral player matchups and the current form of both teams, I'd lean towards a Mercury victory in a closely contested game.
