Head-to-head statistics Chicago Sky (W) - Connecticut Sun (W)
Chicago Sky (W) Team Overview
Chicago have suffered three defeats in their last five outings. Their most recent win dates back to mid-July, when they outlasted the Los Angeles Sparks 96-82. Since then, the team have consistently pushed the tempo, but that pace has exposed persistent issues on the defensive end. Given that their opponents are not exactly top-tier, the Sky certainly have the ability to put up a fight. On average, Chicago score 87.8 points per game while allowing 90.3. If the tempo drops, expect fewer shot attempts - and all the consequences that come with it.

Connecticut Sun (W) Team Overview
The Connecticut women's basketball team are currently on a three-game losing streak, most recently falling to Washington 84-92. Before that, they suffered a heavy defeat against Indiana, 88-123. The visitors are known for their up-tempo style in almost any situation, but pride has to come into play at some point - conceding so many points is simply unacceptable. Given that they allow an average of 86.7 points per game this season, there’s certainly room for improvement. Connecticut have shown flashes of quality in certain matchups. While it will be tough for them to find their offensive rhythm on the road, they do have a realistic shot at slowing the game down and making it a grind, which could give them a fighting chance.

Editor's Pick
Right now, Connecticut and Chicago look set to deliver a high-powered offensive showdown. However, in matchups like this, players often end up surprising us on the defensive end instead. Given how closely matched these teams are, we expect both sides to step up on defense - perhaps even more effectively than in their previous games. That could lead to plenty of tough shots, along with a fair share of turnovers and missed opportunities overall. Our editorial team recommends betting on under 177.5 total points.
