Our Sky vs. Sparks predictions are all in on the Under after these teams scored just 68 and 65 points in their last games.
These teams scored just 68 and 65 points in their returns from the Olympics on Thursday and we expect the offenses to be kept quiet once again when they face off this evening.Just two games back of the Chicago Sky — who hold the eighth and final WNBA playoff spot — the Los Angeles Sparks host the Chicago Sky with a chance to creep closer to that postseason berth.
While the Sparks’ numbers don’t come close to matching those totals, they do feature a prominent frontcourt, with their three leading scorers all working out of the post area. They’re led by Dearica Hamby, one of three current players in the W averaging a double-double with 19 points and 10.1 rebounds per contest.
This will be the first meeting between these teams since they met back on May 30, an 83-73 Sky win. Two of Chicago’s starters in that win won’t be playing, as center Elizabeth Williams is done for the year and guard Marina Mabrey was dealt to Connecticut. L.A.’s lineup is altered too, with rookie Cameron Brink also done for the year.
Chicago isn’t a slouch, but it’s in a different tier, ranking sixth in scoring defense at 81.4 points per game. Hamby had a monster outing in L.A.’s lone meeting with the Sky this year, scoring 24 points and grabbing 13 boards. She’s gone for 20+ points 10 times this season and in such an important game, she should be featured prominently in the L.A.'s offensive plans.
