Sky Coming Off An Awful Game

The Sky on Thursday faced off against the Phoenix Mercury and it was an awful game. The Mercury scored only 85 points against them while the Sky’s offense only managed 65 points. Even though they lost, Angel Reese still had a strong game. Reese put up 11 points and 15 rebounds, another double double. There were three different players that put up at least 10 points. The Sky are averaging 78.7 points while their defense is giving up 81.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the pitching is ranked 6th. Kennedy Carter is having a strong season, averaging 17.2 points while dishing out 2.7 assists per game. 

Sparks Have Lost Two Straight Games

The Sparks are struggling heading into this game and they have lost two straight games. On Thursday the Sparks faced off against the New York Liberty and it was an ugly game. The Sparks scored 68 points, but the defense gave up 103 points that led to the defeat. The Sparks had four different players that scored at least 10 points, but it wasn’t enough as the defense couldn’t make stops. The Sparks are averaging 78.5 points while their defense is giving up 86.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league while the pitching is ranked 10th. Dearica Hambry is averaging 19 points while grabbing 10.1 rebounds per game. 

Chicago Sky vs LA Sparks Prediction

The Sky and Sparks are both coming off awful games but the good news is one of these teams has to come away with a victory. This is my least favorite game to bed on the card, but I do like the under to cash here. These offenses have been inconsistent all season and at least one of the offenses is going to really struggle here. That will lead to this game being lower scoring and the under is going to cash.
