Phoenix Mercury vs Chicago Sky Preview
The Mercury were solid against the Sky in their last meeting on May 27 and are expected to put on a strong performance. Satou Sabally is enjoying a solid run in her first season in Phoenix.
She's averaging 19.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. But her efficiency has left much to be desired, as she's shooting just 38.3% (25.3% from 3-pointer range).
Meanwhile, much like last season, the Sky are relying on Angel Reese, who's recording 11.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. Ariel Atkins has also been solid, too, with 12.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per outing.

Angel Reese, meanwhile, has been on a roll in the paint, grabbing 11.7 rebounds per game. Considering her stellar form, expect Reese to surpass her rebounds prop on Friday.
Phoenix Mercury vs Chicago Sky Prediction
The Mercury are favorites to win at Wintrust Arena. The Sky have a lot of quality, but it might not be enough to keep up with Satou Sabally and Co.
