Storm vs Sky Betting Odds
| Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|
| SEA -6 | SEA -258, CHI +210 | 160.5 |
Key Storylines
- Chicago’s offense has struggled this year. They rank 12th in points at 77.6 per game and have severely lacked guards who can put pressure on opposing defenses.
- Seattle’s consistency remains a question mark going into this game. The Storm are fourth in the WNBA standings at 14-10. But they have alternated wins and losses over their last five games and will need to string some wins together to prove they are serious title contenders.
- Angel Reese continues her strong season for the Sky. She is averaging 13.8 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. The question is whether or not the team around her can provide her with enough help for the Sky to start winning games more regularly.
- Availability Questions: Seattle was without Skylar Diggins due to personal reasons on Tuesday and her status is up in the air for this game. The Sky are without Courtney Vandersloot and leading scorer Ariel Atkins is questionable with a leg injury.
Head-to-Head & Betting Trends
- This is the first of three games to be played between these teams in the 2025 regular season.
- Chicago is 12–11 ATS this season. Seattle is 12–12 ATS.
- The Storm are 6–5 on the road for the year. The Sky has gone 4–6 at home.
- Seattle is 12-12 on totals so far this season. The Sky have gone 13-9-1 to the over.
Advanced Metrics & Trends
- Offensive Efficiency: The Storm average 80.2 PPG on 44.1% shooting. The Sky average 77.6 PPG on 42.0% from the field.
- Defensive: Seattle allows 78.5 PPG and Chicago allows 86.5 PPG for the season.
- Pace: Both teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace. The pace of these teams favors the under.
- Mismatches: Seattle’s perimeter depth should outgun Chicago’s backcourt. But that will depend on whether or not Diggins is able to come back for this contest.
Storm vs Sky Model Projection
Score Projection: Seattle Storm 84 – Chicago Sky 76
Win Probability: Seattle Storm 64%, Chicago Sky 36%
Final Thoughts
Relying on either of these teams to play at a consistently high level is a risky proposition. But the upside for the Seattle Storm is clearly higher than that of the Chicago Sky. Even if Diggins is out for the Storm, I think that they have enough firepower to win this game by a comfortable margin. I’ll lay the points with Seattle in this Thursday night WNBA matchup from Chicago.
