The Chicago Sky will take on the Las Vegas Aces at home in the Commissioner's Cup Championship. The WNBA Commissioner's Cup is an in-season competition that runs concurrently with the regular season.
The Sky are 21-7 on the year, and they finished 9-1 in the Commissioner's Cup. The Aces also finished 9-1 in the Cup, and their regular season record is currently 20-8. These two teams will battle for the second-ever Commissioner's Cup on Tuesday night.
"Let's bring the cup home." - Chicago Sky
The visiting Aces are just 3-5 against the spread in their last eight. They are led by Kelsey Plum, who averages 20.1 points and 5.3 assists on the year. Plum took home All-Star MVP honors recently, and she has established herself as one of the league's best players. Teammate A'Ja Wilson has also had a great year at 19.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per contest.
Las Vegas has split the season series, with the road team taking the victory in each of the two matchups. They have the #1 scoring offense in the WNBA by a decent margin. This can be attributed to their excellent three-point shooting, which is also the best in the league percentage-wise.
"𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞" - Las Vegas Aces
The Sky are the reigning WNBA champions, and they have the experience advantage with Candace Parker leading their squad. In her 15th year in the league, she is averaging 13.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. She also has five teammates that average double-digit points, giving Chicago a great scoring balance.
As a team, they rank fourth in defense and second only to the Aces in points per game. Chicago did lose to the Liberty last time out, snapping a six-game winning streak, but that shouldn't be an issue. They're also 11-2 at home. Look for the home crowd to give the Sky a boost on Tuesday as they seek their first cup win in their history.
