The Chicago Sky (9-28) visit the Phoenix Mercury (23-14) on Thursday, August 28, at the PHX Arena.
This is the fourth time that the Mercury and Sky will face each other this season. The Mercury have won all of the first three games by an average margin of 14 points.
The Mercury have also won four of their last five games, including their last two. They recently carved out a 92-84 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. Five Mercury players scored in double digits, with Satou Sabally topscoring with 19 markers.
Defense has been the Mercury's strength all season long, as they're ranked fourth in the league in defensive rating. They need to work on their offense, but they have four bonafide scorers on their roster. Sabally, Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Cooper, and DeWanna Bonner are all capable of lighting it up any given night.
Meanwhile, the Sky have lost seven of their last eight games. They're now out of playoff contention, but they'll look to build much-needed momentum moving forward.
Courtney Vandersloot, who had an ACL surgery last June, is already ruled out for the rest of the season. Vandersloot averaged 10.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.6 steals this season.
