Best bet: Sky +4.5. Chicago is on fire this season. With impressive wins over the Lynx and the Mercury, they boast a 2-0 record with both of those wins coming on the road as they host the Mystics. Not only are they dominating on the court, but they're also 2-0 against the spread. The Sky's defense has been rock solid, stifling opponents to a mere 67.5 points on average. As for the Mystics, they haven't had any problems scoring so far this season, but have had trouble defensively and executing down the stretch. Back the Sky to cover. -Eric Moody
