In this article, we will formulate a Phoenix Mercury vs Chicago Sky prediction for this WNBA Game on Sunday, September 15th, at the Footprint Center.  To formulate this prediction, we will examine:

-The Mercury’s recent form and recent player performance

-The Sky’s recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between the Mercury and Sky. 

Sky’s offense Looks to Bounce Back

The Sky’s offense was not great on Friday scoring only 66 points against the Minnesota Lynx and that led to the 17 point defeat. Kennedy Carter had a strong game putting up 17 points but it wasn’t enough as the rest of the team didn’t step up. Rachel Banham played 13 minutes off the bench and put up 10 points. The Sky are averaging 78.9 points while their defense is giving up 81.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the defense is ranked 7th. Marina Mabrey is averaging 14 points per game. Angel Reese is out for the season with an injury and that is a big loss for the team.

Mercury are Struggling 

The Mercury are really struggling and they have lost three games in a row. The Mercury scored 69 points but the defense gave up 88 points to the Connecticut SUn and that led to the defeat. Brittney Griner had a strong game putting up 26 points nine rebounds, and five assists. Natash Cloud was the only other one who scored in double figures as she put up 17 points and seven assists.  The Mercury are averaging 81.7 points while their defense is giving up 84.6 points per game. Kahleah Copper is averaging 21.6 points while shooting 43.8 percent from the field and 31.9 percent from behind the three point line.

Phoenix Mercury vs Chicago Sky Prediction

There are better games on the board to bet just because of how inconsistent each of these teams are. I am not really sold on trust either of these teams but I will take a shot here with the underdog. The Sky’s offense is going to find success against the Mercury defense and that is going to be the difference as the underdogs will get hte job done. Back the Sky against the spread.
