Chicago Sky vs. Connecticut Sun preview

The Chicago Sky faced a challenging stretch in July, winning only two games while losing eight. This difficult performance continued into August, as the team won just one game and lost four out of their first five. After suffering back-to-back losses, the Sky are hopeful of securing a few wins, but they seem to be on track to become a lottery team.

Angel Reese continues to be their best performer this term, averaging a double-double figure. The forward has recorded 14.2 points and 12.6 rebounds per game, while featuring in 23 of her team's 31 games. Ariel Atkins has been a valuable supporting player for Reese, averaging 13.5 points per game and 3.5 assists per game.

On the other hand, the Sun enters this game with the longest losing streak in the W. The team has lost five games in a row, with their last win coming against the reigning champions at the start of this month. On the road for their last four games, Connecticut will hope to break its losing streak with a win at home.

In terms of their performances, Tina Charles has been their leading scorer. The veteran has recorded 15.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, and started 29 of her team's 31 games. Marina Mabrey has also been a consistent performer, recording 14.9 points and 3.4 assists per game when available.
