Predictions, Picks & Props to Bet in Storm vs Sky

• The Seattle Storm are -127 road favorites when they visit the Chicago Sky in a Wednesday matinee
• Seattle has taken each of the last four head-to-head meetings
• Read below for my Storm vs Sky predictions, picks props and updated odds

If either the Seattle Storm or Chicago Sky want to make a push for the WNBA playoffs, it’s got to happen right about now.

Both teams will get a chance to build momentum on Wednesday, when the last-place Storm visit the 13th-seeded Sky.

Despite their struggles, the Storm have owned this head-to-head, winning four straight, which is part of the reason a team with the fewest wins in the league would be considered a road favorite in the WNBA odds.

Action gets underway at 12:00 pm ET from the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL, with WNBA League Pass providing the broadcast coverage.

Storm vs Sky Odds

The Sky enter this one as -133 home underdogs on the moneyline, with Seattle’s odds to win outright at +127. Taking Chicago to win by at least two points comes with -113 odds, while Seattle to cover +1.5 pays out at -108.

The total is set at 169.5 points, with the Over getting -122 odds, and the Under a more enticing +117.

Storm vs Sky Predictions

• Pick: Storm ML (+127 at Kalshi)

This wager isn’t a bet on the Storm, but more on the struggles of the Sky, particularly on the injury front.

Starting big Kamilla Cardoso (knee) is questionable for Wednesday, and could miss her first game of the season for the Chicago. If she can’t go, that’s a team-leading 14.3 points and 8.6 boards on the shelf.

Chicago is also without guard Skylar Diggins (knee) who will miss a fifth straight game. She’s second on the team in scoring and leads the Sky in assists at 4.9 points per game.

The Sky have lost four of their last five and defense has been destroying them, allowing 93.8 points per game over that stretch — the second-worst rate in the league.

Seattle has dropped four of five as well, but it’s their offense that’s hurt them (more on that below), not defense, where they’ve been exceptionally stingy, allowing just 80.8 points (3rd), holding teams to 40.3% shooting from the field and 24.8% from 3-point range.

That should be enough to overtake a hampered Sky roster.

SEA Storm vs CHI Sky Picks

• Pick Under 169.5 points (+117 at Kalshi)

As I mentioned earlier, Seattle has struggled getting buckets all year.

They rank second-last in scoring on the season, averaging just 80 points per game, but they’ve cratered even more during this recent slide, as they are putting up just 75.6 points in their last five, ranking dead last in the WNBA. They’re only one of two teams that failed to crack the 80-point plateau.

That’s no surprise then that they have hit the Under in four of their last five, the only Over coming last game in an 84-79 loss to Washington, where the line was set at an absurdly low 162.5.

The Under has cashed in four of the last six meetings between the Storm and Sky, and the line hasn’t been higher than 164 points in any of those matchups.

Seattle won’t be able to take advantage of Chicago’s porous defense, and the Sky’s limited lineup will struggle against the Storm D.

Storm vs Sky Player-Prop Picks

Dominique Malonga OVER 14.5 points (-133 at Kalshi): Seattle’s 6-foot-6 center is coming off a double-double against the Mystics, and she’s been scoring pretty well of late. Malonga is averaging 15.5 points on the year, and has scored at least 15 points in six of her last 10, while putting up 15 points and seven boards in her last meeting against Seattle.

Natisha Hiedeman Under 1.5 3-point makes (+113 at Kalshi): She’s coming off a career-best 31-point performance, and she’s led the Storm in scoring in each of the last two games. And while I think Hiedeman will still get buckets Wednesday, I don’t know if it will be from beyond the arc. While Chicago struggles on defense, one of their strengths is defending the arc, holding teams to 31.8% shooting, which ranks second (to the Storm) in the WNBA.
