Sky vs Sparks Betting Pick
This game will be played at Crypto.com Arena at 10:30 PM ET on Thursday, July 14, 2022.
The Chicago Sky and Los Angeles Sparks have played twice already this season, with the teams splitting those two matchups. The road team has won both games so far, and the Sparks will look to buck that trend as the home team here. In our WNBA picks for Thursday, we look at Sky vs Sparks in a game featuring two teams in the top-eight in the WNBA standings.
Why Bet The Sky:
✅ Chicago has been on fire as of late, with the number one team in the WNBA winning seven of their last eight games. One of those wins was an 82-59 destruction of the Sparks in Los Angeles. Expect another huge performance from the Sky in this game, as Chicago should be able to cover the number in Los Angeles once again.
✅ Los Angeles has not been a great team on their home floor this season. They are 5-6 at home on the year, and have lost two games in a row on their home floor. The Sparks are in the midst of a seven-game homestand, but they have not done well enough at home to justify playing the Sparks at home in this game.

✅ The difference in taking care of the basketball is massive between the Sky and the Sparks this season. Chicago has an assist to turnover ratio of 1.58 on the year, while the Sparks are at 1.28. Chicago will continue to generate points with their passing, while the Sparks’ ball movement will be less impressive per the norm.
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky started the second half of their season with a bang, beating the Atlanta Dream by double digits. Atlanta held the lead going into the fourth quarter of that game, but Chicago blew them away in the final period to secure the victory. Here, the Sky will look for a similar result to the one they earned in Los Angeles just before the All-Star break.
For Chicago, defending the paint will be the big challenge coming into this contest. Liz Cambage is a handful for any team on the defensive end of the floor, but that is especially true for a Sky team that typically does not play a traditional center. As long as the Sky can play with pace, though, they should be able to overcome their disadvantage on the inside.
Los Angeles Sparks
The Los Angeles Sparks have not made the most of their recent homestand, losing each of their last two games. Their most recent defeat at home came on Tuesday at the hands of the Washington Mystics, who blew the Sparks out in the second half. Against a Sky team that has already notched a blowout win in Los Angeles this year, the Sparks have to be better defensively than they were the last time these teams got together.
Fortunately for the Sparks, Nneka Ogwumike is expected to take the floor tonight, after missing Tuesday’s game with a non-COVID illness. Ogwumike should be able to match up well against Candace Parker in this contest, though the question for the Sparks is how the rest of their team can stack up against the defending champions.
