Sun vs Sky Betting Pick
This game will be played at Wintrust Arena at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 7, 2022.
The Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun are in the top-three in the WNBA standings. On Sunday, they face off in an early afternoon game in Chicago. With the Sky owning the Sun so far this season and in the playoffs last year, the Sun will look for revenge in this postseason preview. In our WNBA picks for Sunday, we look at Sun vs Sky in a possible WNBA Finals preview.
Why Bet The Sky:
✅ The Chicago Sky have won all three games they have played against the Connecticut Sun this season. They also eliminated the Sun from the postseason in the semifinal round a year ago. They clearly have the Sun’s number and will continue to take advantage of that in this fourth matchup of the year.
✅ Kahleah Copper has been playing some of the best basketball in the WNBA as of late. The Chicago guard has averaged just under 22 points per game over Chicago’s last three games. Her ability to get to the basket with pace and speed up opponents makes her a tough matchup for the Sun. She scored 27 in the last meeting between these teams and will make the difference here.

✅ Chicago is closing in on the top seed in the WNBA Playoffs. A win in this game would all but sew up that distinction as the regular season comes to a close. Expect the crowd in Chicago to bring a level of energy that matches the situation, and for the players of the Sky to do the same.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun come into this game off of a two-game home sweep of the Phoenix Mercury. The second of those two games was an emotional affair, as it came on the same day as the Brittney Griner verdict. Despite players from both teams being visibly emotional as the game got underway, it was the Sun that maintained its poise down the stretch to claim a double-digit victory.
Here, the Sun will look for their first win over the Sky in four tries on the season. This just isn’t a very good matchup for the Sun overall. Connecticut prefers to play a slower pace and focus on defense and interior scoring. That does not work against a Chicago team that likes to get up and down the floor and make opponents uncomfortable with their pace.
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky have held onto the top spot in the WNBA standings despite stern challenges from the Sun and Las Vegas Aces. In their last game, the Sky blew out a Washington Mystics team that was without Elena Delle Donne. Here, the Sky look for a second straight win over a top-five team to all but lock up the number one seed in the WNBA playoffs.
Chicago did not have Candace Parker in their last win over the Sun, which prompted Copper to play a bigger role than usual. But the Sky are fully healthy at this stage of the season, and look ready to make a spirited defense of their championship at this point in time.
