Sky vs. Sun Betting Odds
According to oddsmakers from online sportsbook Bovada.lv, the Sun are 1-point home favorites to beat the Sky. The total, meanwhile, sits at 157 points.
Key Storylines
Sky Missing Guard Depth
The loss of veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot (ACL) and Moriah Jefferson (leg) has left Chicago without a true lead guard.
Rookie Hailey Van Lith has subbed in inconsistently; Ariel Atkins and Rachel Banham have had to pick up PG slack.
Buzz around adding Indiana’s Aari McDonald (11 pts, 3 ast, 2 stl avg) to stabilize backcourt.
Sun Seeking Stability
Connecticut also sits at 2–7 in a rebuild, relying heavily on veterans Marina Mabrey (~17.1 ppg) and Tina Charles (~16.6 ppg).
Emerging youth—like Rayah Marshall (out this Sunday), Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Saniya Rivers, Aneesah Morrow—may add fresh energy if eligible.
X‑Factor Matchups
Sky Rebounding vs. Sun’s Guard Play
Chicago excels on boards (36.7 vs. 29.8 RPG). If they crash the glass effectively, they’ll force extra shot opportunities.
Sun’s perimeter duo (Mabrey & Charles) must hit shots and space the floor.
Guard Leadership
Who dictates tempo? If Van Lith or Atkins can manage the floor, Sky gain control. If Sun’s vets push pace, momentum may shift.
Depth & Energy
Aari McDonald’s rumored addition could immediately help Chicago defensively.
Sun relying on youth depth—they’ll need bodies to match Chicago’s effort.
Sky vs. Sun Prediction
Rebound battles and second-chance points? Chicago’s playmakers’ ability to maintain control? Mabrey and Charles—will they replicate season scoring?
Look for a low-scoring, physical affair with rebounding and possessions being the deciding factor. With home court and veteran-led offense, Connecticut has edge—but Chicago’s energy and boards could tip the scales.
I’m leaning toward a Sky upset on the road, winning 87–84. They’ll cover and potentially take the ML underdog line, especially if McDonald is activated.
