Fasten your seatbelts everyone, we have quite the match lined up here with Dallas Wings flying over to meet the Chicago Sky. Let's delve into this WNBA skirmish.
Looking at the Wings' nest, we see Paige Bueckers leading the charge with an average of 14.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists this season - a complete round of applause please! Not far behind, you'll find Arike Ogunbowale averaging 13.8 points and Myisha Hines-Allen shooting up 7.2 points and 7 rebounds per game. Quite the dynamo these ladies, aren't they?
Meanwhile, over at Cloud Nine where the Sky hangs out, Angel Reese is reigning supreme with a solid 10 points and 14 rebounds each game. Courtney Vandersloot and Kamilla Cardoso are not far behind, averaging 11 and 10.3 points respectively. Not to be outdone, Ariel Atkins pitches in with 12.3 points per game - nothing short of angelic, really.
Past encounters between these teams lean slightly in favor of the Sky, who've outpaced the Wings in the majority of games. But keep in mind the past is not always indicative of the future!
Both teams however, have had rough beginnings this season, their win-loss records present a less than inspiring sight. The Wings perched precariously at one victory versus four losses, while the Sky seems to be cloudy with no victories yet.
Looking at their recent performance, Wings seem to have a partial upper hand with a solid, albeit lonely, victory against Connecticut Sun. Sky, on the other hand, is still waiting for a silver lining in their game.
The current standing, Wings at #11 and Sky at #12, doesn't make any team a clear favorite. But who said life is fair, right ladies and gents?
And so, here's the moment you've been waiting for:
