The Sky are coming off a horrible loss, and my Sky vs. Sun predictions expect a bounce-back night for Skylar Diggins and the Sky. Read on for my free WNBA picks for Monday, June 22.
Sky vs Sun prediction
Sky vs Sun best bet: Sky -3.5 (-115)
The Chicago Sky took a devastating 93-92 loss to Dallas, allowing six points in the final 30 seconds, setting up a highly motivated bounce-back spot.
Over their last five games, the Connecticut Sun’s defense has cratered to a 115.0 defensive rating, specifically bleeding 36.0 points in the paint per game.
Chicago’s offense is perfectly built to exploit this, hammering opponents for 38.8 paint points per game over that same stretch. Trust the Sky’s frontcourt efficiency to break their skid up to -4.5 points.

COVERS INTEL:
Don’t just watch the paint; watch the overall efficiency drop-off. Over the last five games, Chicago holds a clear shooting advantage with a 55.3% true shooting percentage.

Sky vs Sun same-game parlay
I’ll replace the points with the Sky winning straight up. This correlates directly with Kamilla Cardoso Over 12.5 points.
Connecticut’s defense allows 36.0 points in the paint per game over its last five outings. Cardoso is a strong scorer who’s scored at least 13 points in two of her past five games.
Finally, Azura Stevens Over 6.5 rebounds provides strong plus-money value. Stevens cleared this line in four of her last five games, while the Sun maintain a weak 45.7% team rebound percentage.

Skylar Diggins Over 16.5 points (+100)
Skylar Diggins has cleared 16.5 points in three of her last five games, scoring 17, 21, and 19 points during that stretch.

This matchup sets up well for another strong scoring performance. Chicago ranks first in Pace (98.69), while Connecticut owns a poor 115.0 Defensive Rating and allows 36.0 points per game in the paint.
Diggins is a versatile scorer who thrives on attacking the rim, giving her plenty of opportunities to exploit those interior gaps and the league’s second-worst perimeter defense. Play this to -110.
