Sky vs. Liberty Preview
The Chicago Sky head to New York for a Saturday afternoon clash against the Liberty.
Chicago arrives following an 87-81 defeat to the Connecticut Sun, where center Kamilla Cardoso delivered a strong 24-point performance. That loss dropped the Sky to 15-24 overall and 3-12 against Eastern Conference opponents.
Defensively, Chicago has struggled, surrendering 89.8 points per game while being outscored by an average margin of 2.6 points.
They will also be short-handed, missing DiJonai Carrington due to a foot injury and Skylar Diggins with a knee issue, while Natasha Cloud is listed as questionable with a knee injury.
The Liberty sit at 23-16 on the season, including an 11-5 record against conference foes. New York features a potent perimeter attack, connecting on 10.2 three-pointers per contest—2.4 more than the 7.8 Chicago typically concedes.
Ball security remains a key factor for New York; they average 13.6 turnovers per game and hold a 6-0 record when winning the giveaway battle.
The host team will continue to be without Satou Sabally, who remains out with a head injury.
This marks the fourth regular-season meeting between these two teams. Chicago claimed the most recent matchup 93-86 on August 19, powered by Natasha Cloud's 35 points, while Breanna Stewart paced New York with 22 points in that contest.
Sky vs. Liberty Prediction
Action PRO projects Breanna Stewart at 21.24 points for this matchup against Chicago. Facing a prop line of 19.5, this projection provides a solid 7.2% edge over the current market line.
Although Stewart finished with just 16 points in her previous outing, she scored 22 points in her two prior games against Indiana and Chicago.
With Chicago allowing nearly 90 points per game, Stewart is positioned well to clear again her scoring total.
Best Bet: Breanna Stewart Over 19.5 Points (-129)
