Sky vs Mercury Pick

Both teams come into Tuesday having their issues this season, as each is below 500. Phoenix, however, is playing some of its best basketball of the season and will continue to roll against a below-average Chicago team. Look for Phoenix to play to their strengths and thrive in front of their home fans Tuesday night, resulting in the victory. Take the Mercury Tuesday night to continue to climb towards .500 on the year as they extend their current winning streak.
