Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty: Recent Form

The Chicago Sky is having a wonderful season so far. Boasting an incredible 21-7 season with an impressive 11-2 home record, they have basically guaranteed their spot in the playoffs. They are leading the Eastern Conference and have won 8 out of their last 10 matchups. 

New York Liberty is showing poor results this season. Winning only 3 of their last 10 matches, they are in poor form, and the team chemistry seems to be lackluster. With just 15% of a winning chance, it will be tough for them to make it out on top, but then again, isn’t basketball a game of unpredictability?

The Sky have evidently dominated the court during the games, picking up free baskets through the holes in Liberty’s defense.

New York Liberty and Chicago Sky battle it out previously in the season.

Nevertheless, they are always a fun couple of teams to watch.

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: 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.
