This game is the game between Mabrey and her former team since she left them recently. Both teams will be motivated in this spot and the Sky can still see a silver lining as far as their playoff hopes go, but they need to keep winning. They should show up in this game with a big effort from players like Reese and Chennedy Carter. Both teams have struggled on offense since coming out of the break, and enough time has passed for the Sky to work out their game plan without Mabrey in the lineup. They can definitely stay in this game and keep it closer with their good defensive play. The Sun have struggled to cover larger lines this season, especially when favored by nine or more points, going 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 games. The Sun have also struggled to cover the spread against Eastern Division teams, going 0-6 against the spread in their last 6. This should be a closer, scrappy rock fight and much more competitive between the two as the Sky have the size to push their weight around and be more physical against the Sun. These two teams have played twice, and the Sun did not beat the Sky by more than 8 points. The Sky have done well in Connecticut in past games as far as covering the spread, and are 10-4 against the spread in the last 14 meetings in Connecticut.

Best bet: take the points with the Chicago Sky.
