Sky vs. Sun Preview
Chicago and Connecticut meet in a matchup between two teams playing out the string well outside playoff contention, but both clubs have had their moments lately worth noting. The Sky snapped a rough stretch with a wild 35-point night from Natasha Cloud in a win over New York, part of a resurgence that's seen Chicago show real fight defensively down the stretch.
They've allowed 89.9 points a game on the season, actually the better of the two defenses in this matchup, and they've been competitive against playoff-caliber opponents even in a losing season. Kamilla Cardoso has emerged as a legitimate frontcourt anchor for the Sky, giving Chicago size and rebounding punch that Connecticut's interior will have to account for.
Connecticut, meanwhile, is in the midst of a lost season by any measure, sitting at 9-27 with the league's 15th-ranked offense at just 79.0 points a night, and its scoring differential (-8.0 per game) reflects a club that's been outmatched on most nights. There's a broader backdrop to this stretch of the schedule, too.
The Sun are playing out their final home stands in Connecticut before the franchise relocates to Houston next season, adding a bit of extra atmosphere to games like this one even with the standings out of reach. Olivia Nelson-Ododa has been one of the lone bright spots for a struggling roster, sharing time in the post with Brittney Griner but often serving as the more consistent two-way presence of the two.
