Mercury Seek Fifth Straight Win as Sky Battle Turnovers

Chicago’s league-worst turnover rate has compounded a 1-3 home record this season.

Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally is an elite prop target on Saturday.

Overview

  • The Mercury extended their road success to 4-2 and are riding a four-game winning streak after Monique Akoa Makani scored 21 in their latest victory.
  • Chicago is averaging a WNBA-high 18.7 turnovers per game, granting opponents extra scoring opportunities and disrupting its offensive flow.
  • Satou Sabally has been a consistent scorer at 19.5 points per game over her last ten outings while Alyssa Thomas contributes 14.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, nine assists and 1.8 steals per contest.
  • Phoenix could see the return of Kahleah Copper after her left knee injury sidelined her most recent game, though Megan McConnell remains out with a knee issue.
  • The Sky’s backcourt depth is thin with Moriah Jefferson listed as questionable for the matchup and Courtney Vandersloot out for the season following an ACL tear.
