Wings vs Sky Prediction
The Sky have been more competitive lately, which includes taking the Fever and Liberty down to the wire. They’ve covered 3 straight games. The Wings also have a lengthy injury report, which will be worth watching. With all of that said, the Sky aren’t good enough offensively to sustain against good teams for 40 minutes. The Wings also beat the Sky on the road by 10 points a month ago. It’s safe to say that the Wings are even better than they were back then, as this young team is maturing quickly. I’m going to lay the points with the Wings.
