The brilliant form of the Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky, who have an overall record of 11-5 and recently defeated the Las Vegas Aces 104-95, will be on the other side of this contest.

Who’re the Favorites?
The Sky are coming off a huge win in their most recent game, scoring 104 points, and they’ll have no trouble against this awful Sparks defense. This game will quickly spiral out of control if Chicago scores close to 100 points, and you can definitely back the Sky on this. As far as the favorites are concerned, Chicago Sky does have a slight advantage over the Sparks. Odds are on Chicago’s side as well, having an advantage of 60-40.
