However, after suffering three losses last week, including two blowouts to the Dream and the Phoenix Mercury, Chicago dropped even further this week.
On Monday, Merchant ranked the Sky at No. 12 in the WNBA power rankings, just behind the Dallas Wings and Los Angeles Sparks, and ahead of the Sun.
By record, Chicago ranks 11th in the league standings, and fifth in the Eastern Conference. They are currently 3.0 games out of eighth place, which would put them in the playoffs for the 2025 season.
The Sky will take on the Sparks on Tuesday evening at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. ET, and the winner will sit alone in 10th place of the WNBA standings.
