Here's the latest Storm vs. Sky game preview with matchup odds, game time, TV channel, and live streaming feed options.
WNBA game preview
Sue Bird and the Seattle Storm (14-19) enter today's game having secured the final playoff spot for the week ahead. As it stands, Seattle could participate in an opening round matchup against the No. 5 seed Washington Mystics. Their series begins on Wednesday night, but first, Seattle will contend with the Chicago Sky in a game that carries little weight over than adding another win or loss to the two team's totals. However, Seattle could boost their momentum with a win on the road as they've been just 4-12 away from home this season. Most recently, they dropped an overtime game to Elena Delle Donne and the Mystics in Washington, D.C. although Sue Bird became the league's All-Time assists leader during the contest.
The Chicago Sky may want the win for the sake of pride. Chicago was eliminated from the postseason chase just this past week and is on a three-game losing streak. That includes a 110-87 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Friday night. Kia Copper scored 21 points on 10-for-15 shooting in the losing effort, while Stefanie Dolson had 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Chicago holds one of the league's few losing records at home, as they've gone just 4-12 their for the season.
It's a close point spread for today's game of 1.5-points in favor of the home team. Chicago is also -125 on the moneyline at several sportsbooks. The over/under points total is sitting at 172 or 172.5 points for the complete game.
The Sky are 6-4 against the Storm in their last 10 meetings but lost their most recent game on August 20th at home 103-66 to them.
