The Sky will be without Rickea Jackson due to a knee injury. Skylar Diggins is out with a knee injury. Sydney Taylor is out with a groin issue.
Storm vs Sky Prediction
The Sky haven’t had much success on the road this season, and Taylor is still out. However, the Storm haven’t won a game in over a month and have just three wins since May 27. The Storm’s injury report is also getting larger, which doesn’t help. We’re laying less than a full bucket, so if you back the Storm you’re basically saying you like them to get their first win since the great depression. I can’t do it. The Sky have made us money over the last month, and I’ll bank on that continuing against the worst team in the league.
