Stephen Nover's WNBA Thursday Early Game Discount Casher
(WNBA) Dallas vs. Chicago,
Total: 160.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
Before going into the statistics, there are two things to take immediate notice of in this Dallas-Chicago matchup.

First, an extreme early start - 9 a.m. West Coast time and 11 a.m. local Chicago time. That's a plus for the Under with the teams not used to playing so early on a weekday.

The second takeaway is the multiple injuries on the Wings. Arike Ogunbowale missed Dallas' last game and is questionable for this one with a sore Achilles. Natasha Howard hasn't played since the opening game and she's doubtful here due to a foot injury. Maddy Siegrist is out with a broken finger. Those are the Wings' top three scorers. Ogunbowale is the Wings' go-to player. She's second in the WNBA in scoring at 24.9 points a game.

Now a look at the statistics. The Wings are the worst 3-point shooting team in the league. The Sky are better on defense than they are on offense. They rank ninth out of 12 teams in scoring, ninth in 3-point shooting percentage, 10th in field goal percentage and last in free throw percentage.
