The Sky will be without DiJonai Carrington due to a foot injury. Rickea Jackson is out with a knee injury. Skylar Diggins is out with a knee injury.
Dream vs Sky Prediction
The Dream wins a couple of games and gets Jones back, and now all of a sudden they’re massive favorites again. It’s important to remember that the Dream are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games. The Sky are banged up, and they’ve been terrible on the road, but they’ve won their last two games and are pushing the pace offensively. The Sky can score at an above-average clip when they’re at their best, and we’re not seeing Cardoso on the injury report. The Sky probably don’t win this game, but they can hang around with a fast-paced offense. Give me the points.
