SportsLine's Jimmie Kaylor locked in his picks, predictions, props, and WNBA best bets for the Chicago Sky vs. Minnesota Lynx game on Monday, featuring Angel Reese

Chicago Sky star Michaela Onyenwere felt the full force of her own teammate, Kamilla Cardoso, after the two collided late in their recent 91-78 defeat to the Minnesota Lynx

Chicago kept things close in the first half and even held a lead at halftime, 46-44, thanks to Angel Reese and Rachel Banham who combined for 21 points during that span. However, the team appeared to lose its edge in the second half, failing to reach the 20-point mark in either the third and fourth quarter as the Lynx pulled away for good.

As the Sky take the court in 2021 and look to ascend to the ranks of title contenders, they have an additional force to push on that glass ceiling – two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker.

Lynx star Napheesa Collier, one of the leading MVP candidates, reached a season scoring milestone against the Sky.

It was a tough night for the Chicago Sky, who came up short in their bid for a third straight win. After beating Minnesota on Saturday at Wintrust Arena, head coach Tyler Marsh and his squad couldn’t keep the momentum going Monday night against the same opponent. Chicago dropped to 7-14 with the loss.

The Chicago Sky forward was named the cover athlete for the NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition video game coming out in September.

The Chicago Sky are back in the hunt for a playoff spot, but still need a big backcourt upgrade to get it done.
