My Prediction
Connecticut Sun by 2Ah, the sweet smell of competition. Let's delve into this upcoming matchup between the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun.
Starting off with our troop from Chicago, they've got Angel Reese, this season’s standout player, racking up a commendable 10.3 points per game and snagging as many as 11.8 rebounds in a match. Ariel Atkins and Kamilla Cardoso have also been lending a helpful hand, contributing more than a marginal share to aid the team line up.
Our friends over at Connecticut, on the other hand, are not to be left behind. Marina Mabrey has shown some real grit, with a fierce 17.1 points per game this season. Tina Charles lines up right on the heels of Mabrey, boasting an impressive 16.6 points per game herself. Quite the dynamic duo they've got!
A glance at their previous face-offs sees Connecticut emerging victorious in 4 out of 5 dates. Remember the jolly bash from September '24? Sun's really poured it down on Sky with an 87-54 blow.
The elephant in the room here is, unfortunately, their parallel regular season record. Both teams are tied with a bleak 2-7 win-loss ratio this season. Sun's newly painted front door screams #12 in the WNBA while the Sky is just one cloud above at #11.
In terms of recent results, the Sky seems a tad dimmer compared to the Sun. The Sky fell against Atlanta Dream and New York Liberty quite severely, while Sun managed to shine a bit brighter against the Dream though it took a good beating from the Washington Mystics. Not the brightest days for either of our teams here.
If I were a betting man, my money would reluctantly be on the side of Sun. They've got a solid track record against the Sky and have endlessly proven their competitive mettle. But, given the tangled drama of the recent results and their similar regular season performances, I don't expect to see them outshining the Sky by a wide margin.
