Phoenix Mercury, fresh off a blockbuster trade for Kelsey Plum, face the Chicago Sky in a pivotal August 3rd matchup — a game that could define their playoff hopes. Plum’s availability is uncertain, but her presence — or lack thereof — could swing the outcome. The Sky, though out of playoff contention, are surging with five wins in their last ten, buoyed by rookie Sydney Taylor’s breakout performances. Despite being slight underdogs, Chicago’s home resilience and improved defense make them the smarter bet. The game opens with the Sky favored by 1.5 points, with a total of 177.5. With Phoenix at 11-19 and Chicago at 11-18, the Sky’s momentum and defensive grit could edge them past the Mercury — especially if Taylor continues her scoring surge.
