Detroit at Chicago

The Detroit Shock has certainly been disappointing this season. After a WNBA Championship, they were expected to contend again. Injuries took their toll early on this team as they got out of the gate slow, and were basically not competitive. They started 2-6 and were beaten in five of the six losses by double-digits. This team is a much more respectable 7-8 since then, but a closer look shows they have been ultra competitive. The Shock, in those last eight losses have dropped just two by double-digits, and the other six losses have been by five points or less, or decided in OT. The Sky opened with high hopes at 6-3, but has since been just 7-10, and in their last six games, they show just one win by more than three points. The Sky is still having trouble on defense allowing almost 80 points per game on the season, and the Shock have been playing OVERs when well rested as four of their last five on three days rest have topped the total. I like Detroit here, and the over.
