The Seattle Storm have a star-studded trio of Nneka Ogwumike, Jewell Loyd, and Skylar Diggins-Smith, but they are off to just a 3-3 start in the 2024 season heading into a road matchup with the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night. 

Chicago is 2-2, losing to the Connecticut Sun in its last game, but the young team has fought behind some great play from Marina Mabrey (19.3 points per game) early on this season.

The Sky are home underdogs on Tuesday, a sign that oddsmakers don’t think they’ll be able to handle the veteran Storm squad that hasn’t shot the ball as well as it would like so far in 2024. 

Here’s a look at the opening odds, my best bet and more for this matchup:

Storm vs. Sky Key Players to Watch

Seattle Storm

Nneka Ogwumike: Nneka Ogwumike has been great for the Storm this season, averaging 21.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in four appearances. She’s currently the team’s leading scorer with Jewell Loyd shooting just 31.4 percent from the field and Skylar Diggins-Smith shooting just 34.1 percent. 

Chicago Sky 

Marina Mabrey: Chicago Sky sharpshooter Marina Mabrey is averaging 3.0 made 3s per game this season, turning that into 19.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game. Mabrey is easily the No. 1 option for the Sky right now. 

Storm vs. Sky Prediction and Pick

Both of these teams are .500 on the season, but I’m not quite sold on the Storm just yet, as they’ve struggled to mesh with their new Big 3, partially due to their poor shooting.

Seattle is dead last in the WNBA in effective field goal percentage, and it ranks behind the Sky so far this season in net rating. 

Chicago has posted a top-five defensive rating in the 2024 season, and while both of these teams struggle shooting (Chicago is 11th in effective field goal percentage), I do like taking the better defense, especially at home. 

Pick: Sky +3 (-110)
