The Sky (7-15) are going through a rough stretch of games, losing nine of their last 12 games. Despite recently beating the Mercury 77-66, they returned to the loss column after falling 102-87 to the Los Angeles Sparks. Kamilla Cardoso, Sydney Taylor and Gabriela Jaquez scored 15 points each as one of the few bright spots in the defeat.
The Wings (15-8) are boasting significant momentum as they roll with an active win streak of four consecutive games.

They are coming off a solid 108-95 win over the Toronto Tempo, seeing the trio of Paige Bueckers (34), Arike Ogunbowale (20) and Jessica Shepard (20) combined for 74 points.
Sky vs Wings Predictions
The Wings rightfully stand out as the favorite, shining as one of the best playoff contenders this season. Paige Bueckers has shown remarkable growth in Year 2 with Dallas benefitting from her steady rise, helping her with plenty of balance in the attack. Chicago is still dealing with injuries, capping its ceiling of winning this contest. Our betting pick here is for the Wings to defend a 9.5-point spread.
