Kahleah Copper is averaging 19.5 points and six rebounds while Azura Stevens is averaging 16.5 points and two assists.

Sylvia Fowles is averaging 16 points and 14.5 rebounds while Damiris Dantas is averaging 13.5 points and three assists.

The Sky are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Lynx are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. The over is 34-14-3 in Sky last 51 overall. The under is 21-10 in Lynx last 31 games as an underdog. The Sky are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
I mentioned in the first writeup that the Chicago Sky were a team to watch this season as a possible title contender, and they’re off to a 2-0 start with an offense that’s lighting it up. The Minnesota Lynx aren’t the same team from past years and they’re shooting just 38 percent from the field through two games. I have to lay the reasonable chalk with the Sky here.
