12 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 20

Dallas enters the Chicago matchup favored by 3.5 points, with the Sky facing their first game after Rickea Jackson tore her ACL and was ruled out for the season.
Jackson’s injury removes a strong early-season scorer from a Chicago team that had outperformed expectations, leaving the Sky to redistribute her shots rather than replace them with one clear offensive focal point.
The Wings are only 2-2, but they still bring Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale into a game viewed as a chance to steal a road win while Chicago adjusts.
Dallas has not fully clicked yet—Alanna Smith is averaging 4.3 points and Azzi Fudd is shooting 20% from 3—but the expectation is that both numbers improve as the season develops.
