Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun Prediciton 

Somehow, someway, the Sky are going to find a way to keep this game close. I am still not sold on the offense of the Sun and that is going to hurt them here. The Sky’s offense might not run up the score but their defense is going to make some stops and that is going to be the difference here as Chicago is going to find a way to keep this game close. Back the Sky against the spread.
