Chicago Sky will make a trip to Phoenix for a crucial WNBA matchup against the Mercury on Tuesday night. Angel Reese and Co. are looking to secure first victory of the season as they have dropped first three games.

It has been a nightmare start for Chicago Sky in the 2025 WNBA season. After losing the season-opener with Indiana Fever with heavy margin, the Sky dropped two more games to become only the third team after Sun and Wings to not win a single game this season. In previous game, they reduced the losing margin to 13 points after two blowout losses. Nothing has been changed for Sky and they have to break their losing streak.

On the other hand, the Phoenix Mercury have posted a 3-1 record through first four games and they would look to strengthen their chances at the top. Mercury’s only defeat came on the road as they are unbeaten in Arizona. Phoenix’s 19-7 scoring edge in the 2nd quarter helped them to maintain the grip in the previous game. It would be a tough game for Sky as they also dropped last season’s both games against Mercury.

Ahead of a crucial WNBA showdown, let’s breakdown the injury report and predicted starting lineups for both teams.
