Connecticut Sun vs Chicago Sky Prediction
The Connecticut Sun are more than capable of blowing the doors off a Sky team that’s been shaky at best over the last couple of weeks. The line is what it is for a reason. However, the Sun have failed to cover 6 of their last 10 games overall, and they’re 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites of 9 or more points. The Sun don’t score well enough to usually cover these sorts of numbers. This line just feels a little too thick for a Sky team that’s fighting for its playoff life. I’d expect somewhat of a more competitive game. It’s the Sky and points or pass for me.
