Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever: A Tale of Two Teams (and One Absent Star)

The Chicago Sky will take the court Friday night without their most electrifying player, Angel Reese, who’s serving a one-game suspension after swiping Aaliyah Edwards’ head like a rogue pool cleaner. Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever—desperate for playoff résumé padding—get a break from Reese’s technical-foul-induced theatrics. Let’s break this down with the precision of a coach’s postgame film review.

The Odds Say It All
- Moneyline: Indiana is a near-10-to-1 favorite (-109 for the Fever, +800 for the Sky). That’s about the same odds as betting your dog will finally learn to stop chewing shoes.
- Spread: The Fever are -13.5 favorites, while the Sky are +13.5. If you’re a Sky fan, this is like betting your team will win a race where they start 13.5 miles behind the finish line.
- Total: 158 points. Given Reese’s absence, expect a defensive snoozefest—unless the Sky’s offense suddenly wakes up from its 10-30 slumber.

Player Props Worth Your Buck
- Aliyah Boston (Fever): Over/Under on points is 15.5 (-108/MLB). Boston’s your gal to back here; she’s the closest thing to a human highlight reel not named Angel Reese.
- Kamilla Cardoso (Fever): Over/Under on rebounds is 9.5 (-115/MLB). If you like watching humans outjump you, bet on her grabbing boards like a caffeinated koala.
- Kelsey Mitchell (Fever): Over/Under on three-pointers is 2.5 (-130/MLB). She’s your shot-maker, but with odds favoring the under, maybe the Sky’s defense will finally show up?

The Reese Factor
Reese’s suspension removes Chicago’s emotional leader (and trash-talking provocateur). Last game, she dropped 18 points and 13 rebounds but shot 4-for-12 from the field. Without her, the Sky are likely to play the role of “Also Ran” with gusto. Indiana, meanwhile, needs this win to keep playoff hopes alive—they’re basically the underdog of the playoff bubble.

Prediction
The Fever roll, the Sky stroll… and I mean that literally. With Reese out, Chicago’s offense might as well be a team of high schoolers playing in the dark. Final Score Prediction: Indiana 89, Chicago 70. The total goes under 158 because the Sky’s defense will finally show up to work—just in time for the season finale.

Bonus Bet
If you’re feeling spicy, take Aliyah Boston to outscore Kamilla Cardoso (-125). It’s the WNBA’s version of “Will this team finally do something right?” and the answer is probably “no… but Boston might.”

Tip-off: 7:30 PM ET. Bring popcorn. And maybe a fire extinguisher for when Sky fans ignite their collective despair.
