The Connecticut Sun (10–30) visit Wintrust Arena tonight to face the Chicago Sky (9–30) in what amounts to a “Best of the Worst” matchup.
Both teams have long been eliminated from playoff contention and enter with losing streaks. Connecticut has dropped two straight, while Chicago has lost four in a row and nine of its last ten.
Despite Chicago’s struggles, Angel Reese continues to shine. She’s nearly automatic for a double-double, dominating the glass and providing consistent scoring. But the Sky lack depth, ranking among the lowest-scoring teams in the league. One player does not make a team.
The Sun, meanwhile, have made the most of games against weaker opponents, winning four of their last seven — all against teams in the league’s bottom tier, including Chicago.
Connecticut relies on the veteran presence of Tina Charles, still steady near the end of her career, along with rookie Leila Lacan, who has posted back-to-back 22-point performances during this recent stretch. Lacan will be a key part of their rebuild.
The Sun lead the season series 2–1 and will look to close it out tonight before finishing the year against the Phoenix Mercury and the Atlanta Dream — much more formidable opponents.
Prediction
The Sun’s relative depth, veteran composure, and defensive edge should help them prevail in a tightly contested finish.
Prediction: Connecticut Sun 87, Chicago Sky 78
