The Line: Betting Odds: Phoenix -12.5 — Over/Under: +164.5
The Chicago Sky and the Phoenix Mercury meet Thursday in WNBA action from the PHX Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury prediction.
Angel Reese leads the Sky in scoring and rebounding, averaging a double-double per game with 14.3 PPG and 12.4 RPG along with 3.7 APG while Kamilla Cardoso has 13.4 PPG with 8.4 RPG. Ariel Atkins has 13.8 PPG with 3.4 RPG and 3.6 APG, rounding out the group of double-digit scorers for Chicago so far this season. Rachel Banham has 9.2 PPG with 2.5 APG while Elizabeth Williams has added 8.5 PPG with 5.2 RPG as well on the year. As a team, Chicago is averaging 75.9 PPG on 42.2% shooting from the field, 32.9% from three-point range and 76.2% from the foul line so far this season.
The Phoenix Mercury will be out to add on to their 92-84 win over the Los Angeles Sparks last time out to sit at 23-14 on the year. After this game, the Mercury will continue their homestead with a game against the New York Liberty.
Satou Sabally leads the Mercury in scoring with 16.9 PPG along with 6.3 RPG, 2.5 APG and 1.3 SPG while Alyssa Thomas has 15.9 PPG with 9 RPG and 9.3 APG and Kahleah Copper has 15.4 PPG. DeWanna Bonner has 11.5 PPG in 18 games so far with Phoenix to cap off the double-digit scorers for Phoenix so far this season. Sami Whitcomb also has 9.4 PPG with 2.9 RPG and 2.5 APG while Lexi Held’s added 5.8 PPG and Monique Akoa Makani has 8.1 PPG. Kitija Laksa has 6 PPG as well on the year. As a team, Phoenix is averaging 83.2 PPG on 43.4% shooting from the field, 33.6% from three-point range and 79.1% from the foul line so far this season.
I’m going to take a shot on the Sky and the points here. I just think that this Sky team is a lot more competitive with Angel Reese and Ariel Atkins in the fold and I think that they show up here once again in a competitive matchup against a Mercury team that is talented for sure and I still think have one of the best three-woman rotations in Sabally, Thomas and Copper. However, I just think this is a case of too many points and I’ll roll with the Sky and the points in this one.
