Sky vs Storm Injury Report
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. Kamilla Cardoso is questionable with a knee injury.
Taina Mair is out for the Storm due to a coach’s decision. Ezi Magbegor is not with the team.
Sky vs Storm Prediction
The Storm have had zero success on the road this season, and they’ve had issues finishing games. The Sky should be favored at home. However, the Sky as favorites is strange. The Sky isn’t lighting the world on fire; they’ve won just 3 games at home, and they’ve blown endless fourth quarter leads. Also, the Sky is dealing with drama surrounding Diggins and could be down Cardoso as well. Watch the injury report, as Cardoso not playing would be a massive blow, as I can argue she should be an all-star this season. I’ll lean toward the Storm and the free bucket.
