Chicago at Las Vegas

Chicago winds up a five-game road trek here as a dog. But this team has won three of four, tied for the best road record (10-5) in the WNBA. On this trip, they won back-to-back at Seattle, 73-69 and 107-75, as underdogs of +6. Chicago is fifth in the league in three-point shooting (35.3%), and tops at the free-throw line (85.2%) as well as assists. The Sky is 35-18 ATS on the road versus teams who outscore their opponents by 3-plus points per game, plus 51-28 ATS away against opponents who average 42-plus boards per contest. This is a difficult situational spot for Las Vegas, favored while coming home from a three-game road trip. Star center Liz Cambage (14.7 points, 8.4 rebounds per game) just tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently out of action in isolation. Las Vegas is 18-39 ATS at home off a road win, plus 26-48 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 points. Chicago is a dynamite road team and matches up well, on a 7-3 spread run versus Las Vegas. Play Chicago as my second Max Play.
