Make your Sky vs. Sun picks on PrizePicks for tonight’s game.<\/a><\/p>\n {{wnba_offer_banner=”\/style-system\/ui-components-playbook”}}<\/p>\n Sky vs. Sun Prediction, Spread, Over\/Under \u2013 Tuesday, August 25<\/p>\n The Sky decided to make a change in the offseason by trading F Angel Reese to the Dream. Still, this team might have a roster good enough to be a contender.<\/p>\n With that said, Chicago hasn’t had many opportunities to field its full team due to injuries. F Rickea Jackson played just four games before suffering a season-ending torn ACL, G Skylar Diggins has been out since July 3, and G DiJonai Carrington missed the first 38 games of the season.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the Sun’s final campaign in Connecticut before the team moves to Houston, and they aren\u2019t hanging up a championship banner on their way out. Not only do they have one of the worst records in the league, but they’re just one of two teams without double-digit wins. It\u2019s shocking to think this squad was in the WNBA Finals only four years ago.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t feel like they are trying to be competitive in the future, as they traded away their former first-round pick, F Aneesah Morrow, to the Tempo at the trade deadline. They still have 2024 first-round pick G Leila Lacan, but she isn’t playing tonight because she\u2019s with Team France competing at the FIBA World Cup.<\/p>\n Sky vs. Sun Spread, Over\/Under \u2013 Tuesday, August 25<\/p>\n The Sky enter Tuesday\u2019s game as 6.5-point road favorites against the Sun, returning a 1.38x payout if they win outright, via PrizePicks Team Picks.<\/p>\n Here are the full payouts for the Sky vs. Sun game on PrizePicks.<\/p>\n Make your Sky vs. Sun prediction on spread or over\/under<\/a> on PrizePicks Team Picks \u2014 available in 36 states!<\/p>\n Team Picks data is live at the time of writing and is subject to change.<\/p>\n Sky vs. Sun Injury Report for Tuesday, August 25<\/p>\n Let\u2019s dive into the full Sky vs. Sun injury report for Tuesday, August 25, via WNBA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Chicago Sky Injury Report G Skylar Diggins (knee) – OUTConnecticut Sun Injury ReportC Brittney Griner (knee) – QuestionableC Olivia Nelson-Ododa (knee) QuestionableSky vs. Sun Prediction on Spread \u2013 8\/25\/26<\/p>\n Here are the key game stats and trends behind our Sky vs. Sun prediction on the winner for Tuesday, August 25.<\/p>\n Lock in your Sky vs. Sun prediction on PrizePicks<\/a> now.Two of the three previous matchups between Chicago and Connecticut have gone over the listed total.The Sky\u2019s 57.9% over rate is the fourth-highest in the WNBA.Both teams\u2019 defenses have struggled lately, with the Sky and the Sun ranking ninth and 10th, respectively, over their last 10 outings by allowing 90 points per game.The Sun excel at grabbing their own rebounds, sitting fourth in the W in offensive boards per game (9.3).
