Prediction: New York Liberty VS Chicago Sky 2025-05-22
The Chicago Sky are looking to bounce back from a dismal 93-58 loss to the Indiana Fever, but they're in for a tough test against the New York Liberty, who are fresh off a 92-78 thrashing of the Las Vegas Aces. The Liberty are led by a powerhouse trio of Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones, and they're looking to defend their WNBA title.
The Sky, on the other hand, are struggling to find their footing, with Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso combining for a paltry 19 points in their season opener. And let's be real, when you're shooting 29.1% from the field, you're not going to win many games.
The Liberty are favored to win, and for good reason. They've got a strong offense and a solid defense, and they're looking to make a statement in their first road game of the season. The Sky, on the other hand, are looking to rebound from a tough loss, but they're missing Moriah Jefferson and Ajsa Sivka, which isn't going to make things any easier.
As for the injuries, the Liberty are missing a few key players, including Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and Ivana Dojkic, but they've still got enough firepower to take down the Sky.
My best bet for this game is the New York Liberty -12.0. The Liberty are just too strong, and the Sky are still trying to find their footing. I think the Liberty will come out on top, and they'll cover the spread easily.
Oh, and one more thing - the over/under for this game is set at 164.0, but I think the Liberty's offense is going to be too much for the Sky to handle. I'd take the over, but only if you like betting on sure things.
Best bet: New York Liberty -12.0
