Los Angeles @ Chicago picks

The Sky are giving up a league-high 88.4 points per game to opposing teams despite having Kamilla Cardoso down low. The Sparks' tandem of Dearica Hamby and Azura Stevens are well-equipped to make Chicago pay when Cardoso isn’t on the floor.

The Sky are allowing a league-worst 88.4 PPG, and that sets the stage for a monster Kelsey Plum performance. Plum is averaging 20.5 PPG in her first year with the Sparks, and she remains a lights-out shooter, despite a dip in field-goal percentage in 2025. Though she had an off night from downtown on Saturday, she knocked down 3+ triples in two of her three prior outings, including a 4-for-8 effort against the Golden State Valkyries on June 9. A career 39% shooter from beyond the arc, Plum drilled six 3-pointers on the way to 28 points against Chicago earlier this season, and she won’t hesitate to fire up shots here.
