Chicago Sky vs. Connecticut Sun Game Preview
This is a matchup between two teams sitting in the lower half of the league, but the gap is real. Chicago arrives at 4-10 and has shown a steadier offense in recent weeks. Connecticut, meanwhile, enters at 2-15 and sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Sun have lost seven games in a row, and home court has offered little comfort during the slide.
The two sides already met this season, and Chicago handled business. The Sky beat Connecticut 85-80 on June 5, with Skylar Diggins leading the way and Kamilla Cardoso anchoring the interior. That result gives the visitors a recent blueprint and a confidence edge heading into the rematch.
Still, Connecticut is not without weapons. Rookie guard Leila Lacan has settled in since returning from France, and forward Aneesah Morrow has produced double-doubles even in losses. The Sun are flawed, but they are at home and motivated to end a long skid. Chicago, for its part, has been inconsistent and cannot assume the rematch mirrors the first meeting. The game carries a national stream on Prime Video alongside the local NBC Sports Boston broadcast.

Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun Best Bet for June 22
The most telling detail here is the line movement. Chicago opened at -3.5, and roughly 69 percent of spread tickets have landed on the Sky. Normally heavy public action pushes a favorite's number higher. Instead, the line has shortened to -3. That divergence between tickets and price often signals sharper money on the other side. In this case, that side is Connecticut at home.
The matchup history supports a close game, too. Chicago won the first meeting by just five points, and that result came on the Sky's home floor. Home court tends to be worth a few points in the WNBA, so a five-point road loss can flip toward a cover in the rematch. A field goal is the difference between a Sun cover and a Sun loss against the number.
The case against Connecticut is straightforward and serious. The Sun are 2-15, riding a seven-game losing streak, and they have struggled to defend their home floor all season. Chicago is the better team on paper and already proved it can win this matchup. If the Sky's offense clicks early, a 2-15 club can fold quickly. The pick leans on the market signal and the short number, not on any belief that Connecticut has suddenly fixed its problems.
The Pick: Connecticut Sun +3 (-110)
Sky vs Sun Total Prediction
The total opened at 167 and has ticked up to 169, so the market expects a reasonable pace. The head-to-head data points the other way, however. The June 5 meeting between these teams finished 85-80, a combined 165 points that would have landed under the current number. Connecticut's offense ranks among the league's least efficient, and a struggling team often slows the game to stay competitive.
The other side is fair to acknowledge. Connecticut's defense has leaked points during the losing streak, and several recent losses featured the Sun surrendering high scores. If Chicago pushes the tempo and Connecticut chases, the Over is live. The lean here is modest. With the only prior meeting landing under and the Sun's offense sputtering, Under 169 is the more defensible side.
The Pick: Under 169 (-110)
Final Thoughts and Bonus Angle
For bettors who want more upside from the same read, the Connecticut Sun moneyline at +130 is the bonus angle. The reverse line movement and the lopsided public split both point toward value on the home underdog. A bet on the spread only needs a three-point swing to become an outright win, and +130 pays out at better than even money if the Sun pull the upset.
The risk is obvious. A 2-15 team on a seven-game slide can lose to anyone, and Chicago is the more talented roster. The moneyline is the higher-variance play of the three, so it carries the most downside. Bettors who prefer a safer position should stick with the points. Our recent breakdown of the Sky against the Liberty offers more context on Chicago's form.
To recap the card for Chicago Sky at Connecticut Sun: the lead play is Connecticut Sun +3 (-110), the total lean is Under 169 (-110), and the bonus angle is the Connecticut Sun moneyline at +130. All three rest on the same theme of fading heavy public action on a road favorite.
