Game Preview

The Storm (6-19) haven’t had it easy throughout the first half of the season, going though 11 consecutive losses at one point. They have since gone 3-4 in their last seven games, recently falling 84-79 to the Washington Mystics after collapsing in the fourth quarter. Natisha Hiedeman led the offense with 31 points, three rebounds, three assists, and three steals. Dominique Malonga came next with 10 points and 15 rebounds, while Flau’jae Johnson and Jade Melbourne provided nine points each.

The Sky (7-16) continue struggling throughout the 2026 campaign, losing in 10 of their last 13 contests. Despite beating the Mercury, they have lost back-to-back games to the Los Angeles Sparks and the Dallas Wings. Sydney Taylor led the team with 20 points and two assists. Azura Stevens followed suit with 18 points and 13 rebounds, while Natasha Cloud contributed with 15 points and three assists.

Storm vs Sky Predictions

This game stands out as a tossup with both teams having poor records. Chicago would have the upper hand given Seattle’s struggles on the road, seeing Natasha Cloud and Kamilla Cardoso play pivotal roles in the team’s chances of winning. Seattle will need a big night from either Flau’jae Johnson or Dominique Malonga to keep up with Chicago. Our betting pick here is for the Sky to defend a 2.5-point spread.
