00:00Sky versus the Sparks. You got Chicago in a slump. If it wasn't for the excitement of

00:10Angel Reese, well, who knows? But Sparks are coming off a 93 to 86 defeat versus the Fevers,

00:16so they already saw a really hot rookie end play. This was their second straight loss,

00:21but they did cover a 12 and a half spread. Something else to gauge leaning into tonight.

00:26They'll have another problematic rookie on their hands with Angel Reese, as I already mentioned,

00:30but I don't know if she's going to be enough to get the job done. You got the Sky who are on a

00:33very ugly seven game losing streak, and they let up 90 points in their most recent matchup. So

00:41defensively, they're failing. They're relying heavily on their one rookie to get the job done.

00:44They have had their own circulation of whatever was going on with the mask and the injuries and

00:48all these combination of things. Too many factors kind of working against them, but maybe consider

00:53Chicago to cover the spread. You've got an extremely desperate team to get into the mix,

00:56and they do have players that can still bring value to the game and value point-wise, but as

01:03when it comes to the matchup, their defense just really is not hanging in there by any means.
