The Chicago Sky take on the New York Liberty tonight at Barclays Center as each team looks to head into the All-Star break with a win.
Chicago has been great ATS in recent games, and my Sky vs. Liberty predictions call for Sydney Taylor to keep this one within striking distance for the visitors.
Read my WNBA picks to see why I’m betting on “Syd the Kid” to keep the hot hand as the Sky cover the spread in a high-scoring matchup on Wednesday, July 22.
Sky vs Liberty prediction
Sky vs Liberty best bet: Sydney Taylor Over 16.5 points (+100)
Sydney Taylor is one of the most prolific scorers in this year’s rookie class, and she’s been even more productive with Skylar Diggins sidelined.
Over the last six games without Diggins, Taylor leads the team in scoring, FGA, 3PA and Usage Percentage. Taylor has averaged 17.5 ppg in that span, scoring 17+ in each of her last four games.
Over their last 10, the New York Liberty have allowed the fourth-most points, fourth-highest three-point percentage and most FGA. The Chicago Sky rank third in pace, and Taylor should see plenty of shots.
I’ll play this up to 19.5 for +210 odds.
COVERS INTEL: Over the last six games, Sydney Taylor’s 28.7 Usage Percentage ranks fifth among all players averaging at least 20 minutes per game.
Sky vs Liberty same-game parlay
Each team has hit the Over in seven of its last 10 games. New York has allowed the fourth-most points at 91.2, while Chicago has allowed the fifth-most at 90.6. In that span, both teams rank in the Top 6 in offensive rating. Play up to 180.5.
The Sky have covered the spread in seven of their last 10, while New York is just 4-6. Chicago’s improved offense and steady defense will help it keep pace with a Liberty team bleeding points and struggling to find consistency due to key injuries. I’ll bet this one down to 5.5.
Sky vs Liberty SGP
- Sydney Taylor Over 16.5 points

- Sky +7.5
Sky vs Liberty player prop pick
Breanna Stewart Over 21.5 points (-125)
Chicago’s recent offensive resurgence means the Liberty will need to score in bunches to keep pace with an electric Sky attack getting strong scoring from Sydney Taylor, Kamilla Cardoso and Azura Stevens.
Breanna Stewart has hit the Over on this line in three straight and five of her last six games while averaging 27.2 ppg. After spending eight of her last 10 games on the road, she’ll get the benefit of home court advantage. Play up to 24.5.
