Toronto Tempo Eye -1.5 Cover Against Chicago Sky as Home Court Boosts First-Year Team

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 6

Summary

  • Toronto enters the WNBA matchup favored by 1.5 points, with the expansion Tempo backed to edge Chicago in a close game on rest and home-court advantage.
  • Wednesday's layoff could help Toronto's offense, led by Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes, who are combining for nearly 40 points per game and give the Tempo their clearest path to winning.
  • Chicago is 4-6 and coming off a win over Connecticut, but the Sky still rely heavily on Skylar Diggins and Kamilla Cardoso to drive results and are not viewed as a team that regularly blows opponents out.
  • Toronto's wider pattern has been volatile—through 10 games, its recent losses have come by 28, 19 and 15 points—yet that inconsistency is weighed against a Sky team seen as better defensively but limited overall.
