Saturday’s Best WNBA Picks: Sky vs. Wings

Last Time: 0-2 | Season: 2-3

Chicago Sky vs. Dallas Wings WNBA Picks

It hasn't been a great start to the season for either squad, with each team only managing a single victory to start the season. These two faced off in Chicago earlier this week, where Chicago earned their first win of the season, and now both fly back to Dallas on a home-and-home.

Without trying to bury the lede, the big story of today's game is Paige Bueckers being ruled out after being placed on concussion protocol. That moved this game two points, and it is a near pick’em with Dallas as a slight favorite. Bueckers has already made her mark early in the year as the assists leader and scoring nearly 15 points a game, second-most on the team, only trailing Arike Ogunbowale.

For the Sky, Courtney Vandersloot has been a welcoming boost back to the team, but their offense has struggled, ranking 10th overall early in the year. They are menacing on the boards thanks to Angel Reese and her WNBA-leading 40% offensive rebound rate, but if the shots don't fall, then they’re not worth much.

Luckily, Chicago is facing one of the worst defenses in the league in Dallas. The Wings are coming off one of the worst defensive outputs the league has ever seen, and they haven't exactly done anything encouraging this year to curb that reputation.

Without Bueckers, Dallas' offense will be limited. She opens up the floor with her facilitating, and Chicago's defense, despite its troubles to start the year, should be able to keep up. The Sky managed to win on Thursday despite being outshot everywhere on the court. I expect them to run it back again tonight despite being on the road.

Pick: Sky +1.5 (-118 BetMGM)
