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.
