Phoenix Mercury vs. Chicago Sky Prediction

I’m on the Mercury here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in some spots, but the Sky continue to be banged up with no Reese or Atkins for this game. Phoenix has been as healthy as they’ve been all year long, and they haven’t been able to turn it into wins, but I think this is a great spot for the Mercury to get some of that confidence back by kicking a fallen Sky team when they’re down. It’s a big number for a team like the Mercury in their current form, but there’s no backing the Sky here. Give me Phoenix.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Phoenix -13.5
