The Chicago Sky continue to flex their muscle as probably the best team in the league, and they're beating the snot out of teams during this winning stretch. The Sky are winning their last 3 games by an average of 12 points. The Dallas Wings can't string anything together consistently, and their defense has fallen off a cliff as of late. The Wings have allowed 87 or more points in 3 of their last 5 games. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Chicago Sky and the reasonable chalk.
