Chicago Sky vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

I want nothing to do with either the Phoenix Mercury or Chicago Sky, two teams that are heading in the wrong direction and dealing with endless injuries. The game is important with the Mercury fighting for seeding and the Sky fighting for a simple playoff spot, but neither side has been able to get out of their own way over the last two weeks. With all that said, the Mercury are still the better team overall and have waxed the Sky in two games this season. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mercury if forced to pick.
