Mercury vs Sun predictions
Kahleah Copper just lit up the scoreboard with a dazzling 36-point game, and she's looking to carry that electric form into the matchup with the Connecticut Sun. As the driving force of the Phoenix Mercury’s offense, averaging 23.5 points per game, Copper’s performance could be pivotal. With the Sun’s defense honing in on her, will she replicate her explosive scoring? Additionally, keep an eye on Natasha Cloud, who, if healthy and ready to play, could significantly influence the game’s tempo with her seasoned playmaking, dishing out an average of 7.2 assists per game.
Transitioning over to the Connecticut Sun, DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas have been nothing short of spectacular, consistently leading the charge. Bonner's ability to drop points from all over the court will definitely put pressure on the Mercury's defenders. Meanwhile, Thomas isn't just a facilitator with an average of 7.9 assists; she's also a monster on the boards, pulling down 9.4 rebounds per game. Their chemistry and ability to impact both ends of the floor might just be too much for the Mercury to handle, especially on the Sun's home court.
Considering the strengths and recent performances of both teams, the Connecticut Sun seem to have the edge. They're not only playing on their own turf at the Mohegan Sun Arena but also have a stronger record, especially at home. With the Sun leading the series 2-0 against the Mercury this season, they appear to be in a favorable position to exploit Phoenix’s struggles on the road and secure another win. Let's see if Phoenix can surprise us, but the Sun seems all set to shine in this matchup. What do you think? Can Phoenix turn the tide, or is Connecticut simply too strong this season?
