Angel Reese is ready to face the Lynx as she isn’t on the injury list. She maintained her hot streak by scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 32 minutes against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever. Reese has been drawing national attention for her performance this season and her record-setting rebounding pace.
The Chicago Sky, aiming to secure the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference with an 11-20 record, are determined to prove they’re better than their record suggests. Their offense has struggled to find its rhythm, as shown by their 11th-ranked scoring average of 78.4 points per game.
While their scoring hasn’t been strong, they hold the 11th-ranked field goal percentage at 42.2% and a respectable 31.2% from the three-point range. However, their rebounding has been impressive, as they lead the WNBA with 37.7 total rebounds per game, positioning them to dominate and prevent opponents from getting second-chance opportunities.
