Randy’s Pick
Laying chalk with the Chicago Sky doesn’t sound like a fun time given their current form, but the Storm are in even worse form, and they just lost to the Sky by 15 points last Saturday. Even with losses in 5 of their last 6 games, the Sky are still a playoff team currently and simply cant lose games at home against the worst team in the WNBA. We’ll learn a lot about the Sky in this spot. Line is reasonable. Give me the Sky.
