Connecticut Sun vs. Chicago Sky Prediction
I’m on the Sky in this one. I think that the team that’s lost five straight being this heavily favored is telling as the Sun for my money are still the worst team in the WNBA this season. The Sky are still a decent team that’s just been in a rut but I think they get their streak halted here. Give me the Sky and the points.
