Sun vs. Sky Prediction Today: WNBA Best Bets, Expert Picks & Odds for Sept. 3
My Sun vs. Sky prediction believes one squad has a clear advantage over the other in a WNBA clash between two teams already out of playoff contention.
Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET (WNBA League Pass) tonight from Wintrust Arena in Chicago. The host is a 1.5-point betting favorite, with a total of O/U 162.5 points.
The Sun beat the Sky by 10 as 3-point underdogs less than two weeks ago, and my WNBA picks expect a similar result tonight. I also like rookie Leila Lacan to thrive in Chicago as my favorite player prop pick.

📝 Sun vs. Sky preview & best bet
☀️ Sun ML (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It flew under the radar, but after the break, the Sun stopped being the worst team in the league. They have earned seven of their 10 wins since July 27, ranking ninth with a net rating of -2.2 over that span, per the WNBA database.
During that same stretch, Chicago has a -13.1 net rating as the second-worst team. For the season, the Sky now have a worse net rating than the Sun to place them at the bottom of the league.
These two teams have faced off twice since late July, with the Sun winning both matchups. They won by nine at home on Aug. 13. They also jumped out to a 28-13 lead in the first quarter and never looked back during their battle on Aug. 23.
Lacan, who made her season debut in early July after being the No. 10 overall pick, has played an instrumental role in helping the Sun turn things around. I’ll have more on her coming up, but this moneyline market is worth a play when a $10 wager with FanDuel earns a $9.52 profit.

💰 Best Sun vs. Sky player prop bet
⬆️ Leila Lacan Over 15.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lacan cleared this combo prop twice in her first eight games in July, but she’s made the most of a bigger role in recent weeks. In the 15 games since Aug. 1, Lacan is averaging 11.3 points and 4.6 assists. She’s cleared this line nine times over that span.
Lacan has attempted nine or more shots in five of her past six outings, with the lone exception being when she scored six points on five field-goal attempts against Chicago. If she gets closer to her regular volume, Lacan should clear this mark in the rematch to cash a profit of $8.33 on a $10 bet.

📈 Sun vs. Sky betting odds analysis
The Sky begin as 1-point favorites, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this line move toward the Sun before tipoff. Connecticut has been the better team in the late summer, winning the previous two head-to-head meetings with Chicago.

How do WNBA odds work?
When betting on the WNBA, the point spread shows how many points the favorite needs to win by in order to cash the bet. For example, a favorite of -5.5 must win by 6 or more points to cover the spread, while an underdog at +5.5 must win outright or lose by 5 or fewer points to cover the spread.
Moneyline odds represent the payout for picking the outright winner (+200 means a $100 bet wins $200, while -200 means a $200 bet wins $100). Over/Unders let you wager on whether the combined total will be higher or lower than the set number.
