Sun vs Sky Game 2 Betting Pick
This game will be played at Wintrust Arena at 8:00 PM ET on Wednesday, August 31, 2022.
The Connecticut Sun won the first game of their WNBA semifinal series with the Chicago Sky. It was an ugly affair, with both teams failing to break 70 points, in a game that was played in typical Connecticut style. On Wednesday, the defending champions will look to even this series and avoid an 0-2 hole in this best of five series. In our WNBA picks for Wednesday night, we look at Sun vs Sky Game 2.
Why Bet The Sun:
✅ Connecticut was 0-4 against the Chicago Sky in the regular season, but broke through for their first win over the defending champs this season on Sunday. That will do wonders for the confidence of a team that had been so close to beating the Sky twice previously this year. Expect the Sun to continue to make games against the Sky ugly and to keep this one close for the third straight time against Chicago.
✅ The bench production in this series is a big plus for the Connecticut Sun. Bri Jones and Odyssey Sims are both meaningful contributors for the Sun, while the current rotation for the Sky leaves them with little other than Azura Stevens to rely on off the bench. Expect the Sun to win the portions of the game where the benches are involved, which will allow them to weather the evenly matched periods where starters are in the game.

✅ Chicago outscored the Sun by 15 points from three-point range in Game 1, and still lost that game outright. It is possible that the Sky get hot from three and really extend that advantage in Game 2, but the edge that the Sun can enjoy on the interior nullifies the perimeter shooting difference. Our numbers like the Sun to win this game, but we will take the multiple possessions with the point spread.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun pride themselves on playing defense and forcing opponents into ugly games. They did just that against the Chicago Sky in Game 1 of their WNBA semifinal playoff series. Connecticut held the Sky to just 63 points on 35% shooting, and got just enough out of their offense to steal a game on the road. Now, playing with house money, the Sun will look to take a 2-0 series lead before heading home for the next two games of the series.
Rebounding was a huge factor in the Sun stealing Game 1 over the Sky. They enjoyed a 47-36 edge in rebounding in the series opener, with four members of the Sun tallying nine or more rebounds. Their 12-7 edge in offensive boards helped generate some key second change points, and there is no reason to believe the size of the Sun will not help them continue to have an edge in that department.
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky have lost the opening game of their second straight playoff series, falling in Game 1 to the New York Liberty in the first round and in Game 1 here against the Connecticut Sun. Chicago came back to win the final two games against the Liberty to advance to this round of the postseason. But against a much tougher Sun team, the Sky may not have as easy a time erasing their one-game deficit this time around.
Chicago was excellent on defense in Game 1 against Connecticut, holding them to 68 points on 37% shooting. But the offensive woes for the Sky nullified their defensive effort, as Candace Parker was the only player to score more than 13 points for Chicago on Sunday. Kahleah Copper needs to be more assertive in Game 2, as her 10 field goal attempts matched the number that the far less effective Allie Quigley had in Game 1.
