Sky vs. Sun Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Tuesday, August 25

The Sky decided to make a change in the offseason by trading F Angel Reese to the Dream. Still, this team might have a roster good enough to be a contender.

With that said, Chicago hasn't had many opportunities to field its full team due to injuries. F Rickea Jackson played just four games before suffering a season-ending torn ACL, G Skylar Diggins has been out since July 3, and G DiJonai Carrington missed the first 38 games of the season.

It’s the Sun's final campaign in Connecticut before the team moves to Houston, and they aren’t hanging up a championship banner on their way out. Not only do they have one of the worst records in the league, but they're just one of two teams without double-digit wins. It’s shocking to think this squad was in the WNBA Finals only four years ago.

It doesn’t feel like they are trying to be competitive in the future, as they traded away their former first-round pick, F Aneesah Morrow, to the Tempo at the trade deadline. They still have 2024 first-round pick G Leila Lacan, but she isn't playing tonight because she’s with Team France competing at the FIBA World Cup.
