Chicago at Connecticut

Chicago is second in the East and heads to last-place Connecticut. Chicago has won three in a row and ranks tops in the WNBA in scoring and second in rebounding, winning six of the last seven games. Elena Delle Donne is an MVP-frontrunner averaging 23.2 points to lead the league. The Sky posted their third straight win, 92-71 over Tulsa on Friday in their home finale. They face a Connecticut squad winding down a lost season on a 3-12 ATS run against the Eastern Conference, plus 1-5 ATS playing on three or more days rest. Connecticut ends an injury-plagued campaign on a 2-9 straight up run, including 0-4 its last four home games. Star forward Chiney Ogwumike has missed the entire season, and Alex Bentley (14.7 ppg) will miss her ninth straight game with a right ankle injury. Three of the four meetings have been decided by four points or less, with Chicago's 96-76 win July 12 the exception. The Sky are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings, and the value here is with the far better team to get the straight up win. Play Chicago on the moneyline.
