🏀 Wings vs. Sky Prediction: WNBA Picks for Wednesday, May 20
The Chicago Sky look to build on their surprisingly hot start to the season as they host the Dallas Wings tonight at 9 p.m. ET (USA Network) from Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
Dallas is a 2.5-point betting favorite, and my Wings vs. Sky prediction expects them to cover on the road behind the play of WNBA MVP odds contender Paige Bueckers.

🏆 Who will win Wings vs. Sky?
Chicago has been swinging above its weight class to start the season, but with Rickea Jackson tearing her ACL, the Sky will have a difficult time keeping up with Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale.
Score prediction: Wings 85, Sky, 80
💰 Wings vs. Sky prediction & best bet
Wings -2.5 (-110)
Chicago's questionable offseason moves, paired with the fact that it's down Jackson, Azura Stevens, Courtney Vandersloot, and DiJonai Carrington, are bound to catch up to them. The loss of Jackson, who led the team in PPG (18.0), is particularly devastating for a team that's bottom five in offensive rating (103.4) and effective field-goal percentage (47.3%).
And while the Sky's defense has carried the load for Chicago, it hasn't dealt with an offense like Dallas' - the Wings are No. 2 in offensive rating (112.3) and averaging 89.3 PPG.
With Bueckers leading the offense, Dallas' offense should pull away late.

🔥 Best Wings vs. Sky player prop bet
Paige Bueckers Over 19.5 points (-118)
Last year's WNBA Rookie of the Year looks like she's taking her game up a notch in her sophomore season. Bueckers is top 10 in the W in PPG (20.0) and shooting an absurd 57.4% from the floor and 62.5% from behind the arc.
The Sky haven't dealt with a superstar scoring talent like Bueckers yet this season, and with a short bench, Chicago could struggle to keep up with the former No. 1 pick.
Bueckers leads the league in offensive win shares (0.8) while ranking in the top five in offensive rating (139.6) and PER (25.3).
🚀 Wings vs. Sky same-game parlay
The Sky's depleted roster and offensive struggles will be an issue against a Dallas team that's led by an offensive dynamo in Bueckers. A big night from Bueckers should lead to a decisive road win for the Wings.
