Current Form & Stats
Chicago Sky (2‑6, 5th in East)
Top scorer: Ariel Atkins leads with 13.4 PPG, but the team is struggling overall.
Rebounding: Angel Reese is dominant on the glass, averaging 12.1 RPG.
Playmaking: Courtney Vandersloot is dishing 5.3 APG in limited games (7), though she’s out for the season with an ACL tear announced June 8.
Shooting efficiency: The team averages 40.2% FG, 29.2% from three, and a free throw rate around 70.8%.
Roster update: Injuries have hit hard—Vandersloot is out, and Kamilla Cardoso has settled into the starting center role alongside Elizabeth Williams.
Atlanta Dream (6‑3, 2nd in East)
Scoring leaders: Allisha Gray (20.4 PPG) and Rhyne Howard (16 PPG, also 5.1 APG) are driving the offense.
Post presence: Brionna Jones is hauling in 9 RPG, Brittney Griner protects the paint with 1.1 BPG.
Team efficiency: They shoot a solid 42.4% from the floor, 31.8% from deep, and convert 77% of free throws.
Coaching shake‑up: Karl Smesko was hired as head coach in November, and his system has enticed strong ball movement (team assists 12.8).
Head‑to‑Head Preview
Keys to the Game
Rebounding battle: Reese vs. Jones. Chicago relies heavily on Angel Reese crashing the boards. Atlanta counters with Jones, and Griner’s rim protection could allow extra possessions.
Playmaking void: Without Vandersloot, Chicago’s ball distribution will suffer. Atkins and Nurse must step up to initiate transition offense.
Scoring punch: Dream’s backcourt (Gray and Howard) is red hot. Chicago will need near-perfect defense or bench scoring (Nurse, Allen) to keep pace.
Injury impact: Chicago’s tempo has stalled. Atlanta’s depth substitutes like Nia Coffey and Te‑Hina Paopao should keep bench scoring afloat.
X‑Factors
Angel Reese: Can she dominate inside and compensate for starters’ absence?
Rhyne Howard: Will she continue impacting both ends—scoring and distributing?
Bench performance: Chicago’s reserves could tip the scales if they knock down their shots.
Sky vs. Dream Prediction
Atlanta’s well-rounded offense and interior presence should edge them ahead. Chicago hangs tough thanks to Reese’s hustle, but Atlanta’s depth and health advantage lead to a 9‑point road win.
Sky vs. Dream Prediction: CHICAGO SKY +12
