Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty: Best Picks
Candace Parker
The 36 year old power forward is a gem in the lineup. The two-time WNBA champion (2016, 2021) is having a very consistent and productive season, averaging 13.6 points, 4.5 assists and 8.9 rebounds per game. With a 51.4% field goal percentage, she is one of the top picks of this matchup.
Sabrina Ionescu
Sabrina Ionescu is the Liberty’s lead scorer this season. She excels at three-point shooting and is very proficient in slashing through the defense to bank in a floater with a little finger-roll. Her speed and athleticism helps her get around the court fast enough to put a pause to defensive plays and turn them into offense.
This season, Ionescu has averaged 17.2 points, 6.2 assists and 7.2 rebounds this season. She seems to be on the way to become this season’s MVP with these stats.
Emma Meesseman
The 2019 WNBA Champion, Emma Meesseman is also an incredible pick for today’s matchup. This power forward is very skilled from beyond the arc. She’s averaged a solid 12.8 points per game, stringing along 6 rebounds and 3.5 assists this season.
Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty: Possible Lineup
New York Liberty: Point Guard – Sabrina Ionescu, Shooting Guard – Sami Whitecomb, Small Forward – Betnijah Laney, Power Forward – Natasha Howard, Center – Stefanie Dolson
Chicago Sky: Point Guard – Julie Allemand, Shooting Guard – Allie Quigley, Small Forward – Emma Meesseman, Power Forward – Kahleah Copper, Center – Candace Parker
Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty: Prediction
The Chicago Sky is likely to go for the win this game on Sunday, in front of their home fans. They are a very lethal team featuring veterans like Candace Parker and Courtney Vandersloot. Sky leads the WNBA season and is a fan favorite team.
New York Liberty is a team full of talented players, but they won’t be able to achieve this victory if they aren’t able to rally their troops and get them in sync, which seems unlikely for this Friday.
