With the postseason around the corner, the Lynx have already started building momentum. They enter their matchup with the Sky riding high on a four-game win streak.
As for Chicago, they are without the services of their top rookie as the season comes to a close. Angel Reese suffered a season-ending injury last week, leaving a big hole in their lineup.
