Kamilla Cardoso and the Chicago Sky will look to take advantage of a banged-up Connecticut Sun squad when the two teams meet on Tuesday night.
Connecticut lacks good options at center tonight, and that has me backing Chicago to cover in my Sky vs. Sun predictions below.

Sky vs Sun prediction
Sky vs Sun best bet: Sky -6.5 -108
The Connecticut Sun could be without both Brittney Griner and Olivia Nelson-Ododa tonight, leaving an already weak roster without many answers on the inside.
The Sun are the lowest scoring team in the WNBA (79.0 ppg), have the worst point differential in the league (-8.0), and have the league's lowest effective field goal percentage (46.9%).
The Chicago Sky score 47.9% of their points in the paint, and will find even more success against Connecticut's limited (or unavailable) options at center tonight.
I'm taking the Sky to cover up to -8.
COVERS INTEL: The Sky hold opponents to 32.1% shooting from 3-point range. They'll further limit the Connecticut offense, which shoots 29.4% from deep, the second-lowest rate in the WNBA.
Sky vs Sun same-game parlay
The Sun's lack of offense combined with a reasonable, if not spectacular, team effort on the defensive end has led Connecticut to play to low scores all season long.
The Sun have hit the Under in six of their last seven games, while Chicago has also done so in six of its last eight contests. I'm riding these trends and backing the Under tonight.
With Connecticut lacking healthy post bodies, that opens the door for Kamilla Cardoso to control the glass. Cardoso is averaging 8.8 rebounds per game and has grabbed 10+ boards in three of her last four contests. She'll find similar success tonight against the Sun, who aren't a great rebounding team even when healthy.
Sky vs Sun SGP +460
- Sky -6.5
- Under 169.5
- Kamilla Cardoso Over 9.5 rebounds

Sky vs Sun player prop pick
Kamilla Cardoso double-double -110
Cardoso (14.7 ppg) has been one of Chicago's most consistent scorers this season. She's put up 11+ points in nine straight games, and always gets enough usage to post respectable scoring totals.
Because Cardoso is effective on the boards, she's compiled four double-doubles in her last six games. At 6-foot-7, Cardoso will clearly outsize anyone on the Sun except Griner. But the aging Sun center hasn't played since Aug. 13 and is no longer a rebounding force in any case. I'm taking Cardoso to record another double-double tonight at -125 or longer.
