Chicago Sky vs. Dallas Wings 8/17/21 WNBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction

The Chicago Sky and Dallas Wings face off on Tuesday in a WNBA basketball showdown at Wintrust Arena. These two teams faced off twice so far this season and each team has come away with the victory. 

The Dallas Wings come into this game with a 9-13 record overall which puts them in fifth place in the Western Conference. The Wings are really struggling having lost four games in a row. In the last game against the Connecticut Sun, the offense really struggled scoring only 59 points and that led to the blowout defeat. On the season, the Wings are averaging 84 points per game while their defense is giving up 83.5 points per game. Arike Ogunbowale has been the best player for Dallas averaging 19 points while shooting 39 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from behind the three-point line. The rest of the team really needs to step up if they want to come away with the victory in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Chicago Sky who have to have a lot of confidence coming into this game. Overall Chicago only has an 11-10 record overall, but on Sunday they were able to beat the Seattle Storm in overtime. Chicago held Seattle to only eight points in the second quarter and that was one of the reasons they came away with the victory. On the season, Chicago is averaging 82.4 points per game while their defense is giving up 79.6 points per game. Kahleah Copper has been the best player for Chicago averaging 14 points while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 30.9 percent from behind the three-point line. 

The Sky like to play a faster-paced game, and I expect there are going to be plenty of points scored by both teams. Look for this game to be a high-scoring game that goes well over the posted total.
