4 Aug
Summary
- Mercury acquired Kelsey Plum to energize offense.
- Phoenix has dominated Chicago winning eight of nine.
- Four straight wins for Phoenix in Chicago by five+.
The Phoenix Mercury are set to face the Chicago Sky tonight in a game crucial for playoff seeding. Phoenix may debut their recent trade acquisition, Kelsey Plum, aiming to bolster a struggling offense as they commence a significant four-game road trip.
Despite Chicago's recent surge, the Mercury have historically dominated this head-to-head series, winning eight of the last nine encounters, including four consecutive victories in Chicago by at least five points. This trend suggests Phoenix could be competitive despite betting lines.
The Sky are showing strong defensive form, winning four of their last six games and limiting opponents' three-point efficiency. However, the Mercury are also on an upward trend, securing three wins in their last four outings while keeping opponents' scoring low.
