Chicago won the first meeting between these teams 95-90 at home on July 15. The Sky have won three of their last five games, while the Storm enter Monday on an 11-game losing streak. Seattle has scored at least 83 points in each of its last five contests, but its inability to produce defensive stops has prevented that improved offense from generating victories.
Chicago Searches for Another Victory over Seattle
The Sky enter Monday at 12-20 overall with a 4-11 record away from home. Chicago went 3-2 across its five most recently supplied games, defeating Connecticut, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles before losing two of its last three. The Sky scored at least 84 points in every game during that stretch, including 101 in a five-point loss against Phoenix.
Chicago is averaging 88.2 points while allowing 89.9 points per game. The Sky are shooting 45 percent from the field and averaging 32.8 rebounds, 21.7 assists, 4.7 blocks, and 7.1 steals. Their negative scoring margin remains a concern, but Chicago holds meaningful offensive advantages over Seattle in scoring, field-goal percentage, and assists.
The Sky’s injury report makes this matchup more complicated. Leading scorer Sydney Taylor is listed as out with a groin injury, while Skylar Diggins is also listed as out with a knee injury. Chicago will be without two important offensive contributors, but it has already demonstrated that it can score effectively against Seattle. The Sky produced 95 points in the first meeting and have reached at least 84 in five consecutive supplied games.
Seattle Tries to End an 11-Game Losing Streak
The Storm enter this contest at 6-28 overall with a 4-11 record at Climate Pledge Arena. Seattle has lost 11 consecutive games and went 0-5 across its five most recently supplied contests. The Storm allowed at least 92 points in all five losses, surrendering 98 or more three times and reaching triple digits in points allowed twice.
Seattle averages 83.0 points while allowing 88.6 points per game. The Storm are shooting 43 percent from the field and producing 33.3 rebounds, 19.2 assists, 4.3 blocks, and 7.6 steals. Seattle holds narrow advantages in rebounding and steals, but Chicago scores 5.2 more points per game and shoots two percentage points better from the floor.
The encouraging development for Seattle has been its recent offensive improvement. The Storm scored at least 83 points in each of their last five games and averaged 89.2 points during that span. However, their defense allowed 98 points per contest across those same five games. Seattle has repeatedly scored enough to remain competitive but has not been able to make the necessary stops during the fourth quarter.
Chicago Sky vs Seattle Storm Picks and Prediction
- Pick: Chicago Sky +1.5
Chicago is the preferred side despite its injury concerns. The Sky have won three of their last five games, while Seattle has dropped 11 consecutive contests. Chicago also owns the stronger season-long offense and won the first meeting 95-90. Asking the Storm to cover as a favorite is difficult when they have not won since before the end of July.
Taylor’s absence removes Chicago’s leading scorer, preventing the Sky from becoming a high-confidence moneyline selection. However, Seattle’s defense provides opportunities for Chicago’s remaining contributors to compensate. The Storm allowed at least 92 points in each of their last five games and have the weaker field-goal percentage. Taking the available 1.5 points provides useful protection in a matchup that should remain close.
- Pick: Under 182.5
The recent results suggest an over, but the under offers better value at the elevated total. Chicago will be missing two important guards, including its leading scorer. Those absences could reduce the Sky’s offensive efficiency and slow a unit that has recently been producing at an unusually high rate.
The first meeting finished with 185 combined points, barely clearing Monday’s number. Seattle’s season average is only 83.0 points, while Chicago’s season games average 178.1 combined points. Both teams would need to sustain their recent offensive improvement to reach 183 points. With Chicago operating without key scorers, the total appears slightly too high.
Final Score Prediction: Chicago Sky 91, Seattle Storm 88
