Connecticut Sun vs Chicago Sky Odds
| Odds | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connecticut Sun | +2 (-115) | +105 | Over 162 |
| Chicago Sky | -2 (-105) | -125 | Under 162 |
Key Storylines
- Connecticut lost veteran guard Bria Hartley to a season-ending knee injury. That further weakens an already thin roster.
- The Sun hold a 10-30 record. They are struggling on both ends and rank near the bottom of the league in offensive and defensive efficiency.
- It isn’t all bad for Connecticut right now. Young guards Leila Lacan and Saniya Rivers have impressed with increased playing time as the year has gone on.
- Chicago has battled its own injuries. Courtney Vandersloot has missed most of the season and Hailey Van Lith is out of action. But they still have plenty of size to make up for absences on the perimeter.
- Both teams are eliminated from playoff contention. It will be interesting to see which team plays with more pride to get a win here in a game that doesn’t impact the playoff race.
Head-to-Head & Betting Trends
- Connecticut has won two of the three meetings between these teams this season.
- Connecticut is 4-16 on the road and Chicago is 5-15 at home.
- Connecticut has gone 22-18 against the spread this season. Chicago is 18-21 ATS on the year.
Best Player Props to Watch
| Player | Prop | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Marina Mabrey (Sun) | Over 14.5 points | Mabrey will look to score big in this game against her former team. |
| Angel Reese (Sky) | Over 12.5 rebounds | Chicago’s double-double machine should take advantage of the lack of size for the Sun at this point in the season. |
Advanced Metrics & Trends
- The Sun are 13th out of 13 WNBA teams in offensive rating. They rank 11th in defensive rating.
- Chicago is 12th in the league in offensive rating and 12th in defensive rating as well.
- The Sun rank 9th in the league in pace and the Sky are right behind them in 10th place.
Sun vs Sky Model Projection
Score Projection: Connecticut 85 – Chicago 82
Win Probability: Connecticut 50%, Chicago 50%
Final Thoughts
This game comes down to which team’s core players can close stronger. The Sky have the height advantage going into this game. But the Sun have been playing better on the perimeter with Lacan and Rivers helping Mabrey shoulder the scoring load on the perimeter. I’ll take the Sun to get a win on the road on Wednesday night in the Windy City.
