The Chicago Sky and Las Vegas Aces face off on Saturday in a WNBA showdown at Wintrust Arena. When these two teams faced off in September 2021 it was the Aces that secured 103-70.
The Sky come into this game with a 4-2 record overall and in the last game against the Indiana Fever, they put up 95 points on the way to a five-point victory. The Sky were good in three-quarters of that game, and if it wasn’t for a bad second quarter, they would have won in blowout fashion. The Sky are averaging 84 points, while their defense is giving up 77.2 points per game. The Sky’s offense is ranked 3rd, while their defense is ranked 4th. Candace Parker has been the top player for the Sky, averaging 14.3 points while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 37.0 percent from behind the three-point line. There are six different players that are averaging at least 10.5 points per game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Las Vegas Aces who sit with a 7-1 record overall and in the last game against the Los Angeles Sparks they had another impressive victory. The offense scored 104 points, and that led to the blowout victory. In each of the last two games, the Aces have scored at least 100 points. The Aces are averaging 93.3 points, while their defense is giving up 80.1 points per game. The Aces’ offense is ranked 1st, while their defense is 6th. The Ace’s offensive rating is 115.9 which is 1st in the league. Jackie Young has been the top offensive player for the Aces, averaging 19.3 points while shooting 56.4 percent from the field and 50 percent from deep.
The Aces’ offense has scored at least 100 points in each of the last two games, and they are going to have no issue running up the score. The Sky are coming off a game where they scored 95 points, and I expect they will also find offensive success. This game is going to be high scoring and the over is going to cash.
