PHO vs CHI Dream11 Coutney Vandersloot

WNBA is a gift that keeps giving. Now, the league has moved to the title leg and the teams here clash for the championship. In this match, Phoenix Mercury will face off against Chicago Sky. More information about the PHO vs CHI Dream11 scenario will be imparted here.

PHO vs CHI Dream11 Prediction

Phoenix Mercury allowed the Sky team to shoot more than 52% from the floor in the last match. It is always a recipe for disaster especially when you are shooting less than 45% from the floor. The Phoenix guards are susceptible to under 40% shooting nights every now and then, which can hurt them in this series.

An area that Mercury has to tap on is the rebounding edge. Sky has shown these Playoffs that they can be massively outrebounded, getting beat on the defensive boards many times. However, Mercury didn’t extract that advantage despite two of the most rugged rebounders in Turner and Griner.

How can Mercury overpower Sky? Contain the early offense, don’t let Courtney slide in easy passes, who had 11 assists in the last game. Make sure that bench players like Stefanie Dolson don’t put in 14 points. Plus, slow the pace down a bit. Get Sky to play the half-court-styled offense as much as possible.

What can Sky improve from the last game? The team committed a bunch of turnovers and that didn’t show much because Mercury itself had a host of them. Allie Quigley shot 5/17 and if she is more consistent then the Mercury can be in further danger.

Mercury will need to work hard on the defensive end, especially against Kahleah Copper, who killed the defense in the last game. Who will come on top in this crucial game for the Mercury? Do remember Sky had more rest compared to Mercury in the first game that is why Phoenix got tired late in the game.
