Chicago is playing well, winning three of its last four games trying to nail down the final playoff spots in the WNBA. The Sky's only loss during this stretch came to the Aces, who I regard as the best team in the league, by seven points.

The Sky are catching nearly double-digits at home against New York, which is in a flat spot and could be without its superstar guard Sabrina Ionescu for a second straight game.

The Liberty is fat and happy after destroying Connecticut, 89-58, at home on Friday night. They accomplished that impressive feat with Ionescu sitting out due to a calf injury. Ionescu is questionable for this matchup. The Liberty is thinking of a deep playoff run, so they aren't going to press Ionescu into the lineup unless they really need her.

New York is reliant on hitting 3-pointers. But the Sky rank third in 3-point defense and New York might not have Ionescu, one of the best long-range shooters in the league.
