Rickea Jackson o16.5 Points Scored (-105)
It’s a new start for Rickea Jackson after the third-year forward was traded to the Chicago Sky last month, and she’s landed on her feet in the Windy City with big-time opportunities. Jackson averaged 14.7 PPG last season, but she’s set for an expanded role in Chicago – and I expect her to make a strong first impression tonight, especially with the Sky missing an array of key contributors, including Azura Stevens, Natasha Cloud and DiJonai Carrington.
Kamilla Cardoso First Field Goal (Yes: +350)
Cardoso should win the opening tip on Saturday, giving Chicago the first possession on opening night.
The Sky's offensive identity runs through Cardoso in the pick-and-roll with Diggins, making her the likely first option on the game's opening sequence.
At +350, backing the most dominant player on the floor to score first is outstanding value.
Kamilla Cardoso o13.5 Points Scored (-112)
The 6-foot-7 center averaged 16.6 ppg in 2025, sharing the spotlight with Angel Reese. Reese is no longer in her way, and I expect her to cook tonight. With Skylar Diggins running the offense and feeding Cardoso in the pick-and-roll, Chicago's offense runs through its dominant center, and Portland likely won’t have an answer for the former South Carolina product.
Portland's Bridget Carleton is probably Portland’s most reliable perimeter threat. She made 40% of her nearly four long-range attempts in 2025, and is a career 39% shooter from deep. The Sky has too many solid veterans, and they at least have some roster continuity. Diggins is tough, and Rickea Jackson is expected to have a breakthrough season. Portland doesn’t have any of those key pieces, and they’ll have difficulties slowing the Sky tonight.
