Sky vs Lynx Injury Report
The Sky will be without DiJonai Carrington due to a foot injury. Courtney Vandersloot is also out with a knee injury. Rickea Jackson is out with a knee injury. Azura Stevens is questionable with a knee injury.
Napheesa Collier is out for the Lynx due to an ankle injury. Dorka Juhasz is out due to a foot injury. Emma Cechova is out with a knee injury. Anastasiia Olairi Kosu is out with a concussion.
Sky vs Lynx Prediction
It looks like the Sky are going to get back Azura Stevens, which would be a nice boost, and this is an early start, which usually favors the home squad. However, this is still a banged-up team that could quickly start heading in the wrong direction. This is a revenge spot for the Lynx, who are losing to the Sky last week. The Lynx have also had success on the road early this season. The line is soft. I’m riding with the Lynx.
