The Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky meet Friday in WNBA action at the Wintrust Arena. The Dallas Wings need a win after losing 5 of their last 7 games. The Chicago Sky look to build on their 5-game winning streak.
The Dallas Wings are averaging 81.6 points on 42.1 percent shooting and allowing 82 points on 45.1 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 19.7 points and 3.1 rebounds, while Allisha Gray is averaging 14.3 points and 5.4 rebounds. Marina Mabrey is the third double-digit scorer and Satou Sabally is grabbing 4.8 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 34.7 percent from beyond the arc and 77.4 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 33.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.7 rebounds per game.
The Chicago Sky are averaging 86 points on 47.9 percent shooting and allowing 79.5 points on 42.6 percent shooting. Kahleah Cooper is averaging 14.7 points and 2.1 assists, while Candace Parker is averaging 13.4 points and 8.8 rebounds. Emma Meesseman is the third double-digit scorer and Allie Quigley is grabbing 2.8 rebounds. The Chicago Sky are shooting 36.4 percent from beyond the arc and 83.5 percent from the free throw line. The Chicago Sky are allowing 34 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 36 rebounds per game.
The Dallas Wings just lost to the Sky last Saturday, and they haven't played since, which could create some potential rust. That's a lot of time off at this point in the season. The Chicago Sky are the hottest team in the league with 5 straight wins and while the confidence is building they're closing in on the top seed in the league. The Sky aren't a team you should be looking to step in front of right now. Give me the Sky and whatever the line is...
