The Chicago Sky defeated the Minnesota Lynx by six points at home on Saturday, setting up a quick rematch on Monday. Key performances came from Angel Reese (19 points, 11 rebounds), Ariel Atkins (27 points), and Kamilla Cardoso (17 points, 15 rebounds) to overcome Napheesa Collier and the Lynx. This marked only Minnesota's fourth loss of the season.
Despite a slow start and ranking 12th out of 13 teams in net rating, the Sky have improved slightly, moving to a 7-13 overall record. Minnesota remains the top team in the standings but has suffered recent losses, including the Commissioner’s Cup Final against Indiana and Saturday's game. Oddsmakers favor the Lynx by 10.5 points for Monday's game as they seek revenge.
Betting odds (via DraftKings Sportsbook) including spread, moneyline, and total are provided for the rematch. Napheesa Collier, the MVP favorite averaging 23.6 points per game on 52.0% shooting, has scored 21 and 26 points in two meetings against Chicago this season. The analyst favors Collier for another big game, citing Chicago's weak defense (11th in defensive rating, allowing the third-most points per game at 86.1).
Although the Lynx outperform the Sky in most key metrics, Chicago has competed well against them this season. They lost the first meeting by only five points in Minnesota before winning on Saturday. Chicago also holds a strong 12-8 record against the spread, demonstrating an ability to cover large point spreads as underdogs.
