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. Gabriela Jaquez is questionable with a knee injury.
Tempo vs Sky Prediction
The Sky have played their best ball on the road this season, but a lot of that success came early when Rickea Jackson was healthy. The Tempo will be down their impressive rookie in Rice, so it evens the playing field a bit. The bottom line is the Tempo are at home and can’t blow this game if they’re going to make anything of the Commissioner’s Cup. The Sky recently beat the Sun, but you, I, and three of your friends could do that. The Sky are the most banged-up team in the league and 3-7 ATS on the season. This is the Tempo’s game to lose. I’ll lay the bucket.
