Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury Prediction

I’m on the Mercury in this one. The Sky just continue to have issues with keeping games close and while the Mercury have played in some close games, the fact is they’re still a rock solid defensive unit and I just don’t see the Sky fixing their offensive issues overnight. The Mercury need to get healthy before we can trust them consistently without fail, but against certain teams, like the Sky who in my opinion are still the worst team in the WNBA this season, we can still back them and that’s what I’m going to do here. I’ll lay it with Phoenix here.
