Chicago Sky vs. Dallas Wings 7/22/22 WNBA Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky face off on Friday in a WNBA showdown at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. When these two teams faced off on July 16th it was the Sky that were able to secure the 89-81 victory. 

The Wings come into this game with an 11-14 record overall, and their last game was that loss against the Sky. The defense really struggled in that game, giving up 89 points, and they need the defense to be a lot better in this game. The Wings are averaging 81.6 points, while their defense is giving up 82.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league, while their defense is ranked 6th in the league. Arike Ogunbowale has been the top player for the Wings, averaging 19.5 points while shooting 39.9 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from behind the three point line. 

The Sky come into this game with a 20-6 record overall, and in their last game against the Seattle Storm they were able to secure a 78-74 victory. The Sky have won five games in a row and offense has been strong during the winning streak. The Sky are averaging 85.7 points, while their defense is giving up 79.3 points per game. The offense is ranked second in the league, while their defense is ranked 4th in the league. Kahleah Copper has been the top player for Sky this season, averaging 14.5 points while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from behind the three-point line. In this game, I expect the Sky are going to push the pace, and they hope that will be enough for Chicago to win this game. 

The Storm looked impressive in the last game against Seattle, and this is a big step-down in competition going against Dallas. The Wings’ defense is giving up 82.3 points per game, and they are going to really struggle to slow down this elite offense of Chicago. The scoring will be the difference as Chicago covers the spread.
