With just a week remaining in the regular season, we have four games on Sunday with huge playoff implications.
New York Liberty (29-7) vs.Chicago Sky (15-21)
The action begins in the Windy City, where the New York Liberty will look to make it six wins in a row while the Chicago Sky will try to keep the Los Angeles Sparks at bay and maintain the eighth and final playoff spot.
New York has been unbeatable lately, finding a valid flaw or complaint about the team gets harder by the day. With Breanna Stewart playing at an MVP level, Sabrina Ionescu being a sniper from deep and Courntey Vandersloot still operating at a Hall-of-Fame level at point guard, Chicago will have their hands full.
Luckily for Chicago, they have Kahleah Copper. The Chicago guard is averaging 18.3 points per game. With her speed, athleticism and power, she doesn’t just get buckets on her opponents; she demoralizes them by pressuring the rim until it breaks. Marina Mabrey is working alongside her, averaging 14.9 points per game and shooting a career-high 38.7 percent from 3 on the season. If both Sky guards bring it on Sunday, they’ll have a great chance of giving New York loss number eight, and staying at eighth in the standings.
Indiana Fever (11-25) vs. Dallas Wings (20-16)
