Indiana at Chicago

The Chicago Sky have played representatively well despite all the injuries. Tonight they will once again take the floor without their top two players in Elena Delle Donne, who continues to battle Lyme disease, as well Sylvia Fowles sitting out. The opposing team's recipe has been to run the floor, attack the interior, and run the Sky to death as they have no depth, and limited protection inside. That has played out over the last five games that have seen the Sky at 1-4, with the only win coming in overtime. The bigger problem is the pace and inability to defend, as opponents are scoring 91.6 points per game in the five games, and two of the five have topped the century mark against them. Indiana is not a team to push the pace, but all you have to do is look what a slow-paced Washington did here, scoring their highest total of the season in a game that did not go to overtime. I expect the Fever to come out flying, as it is hard to hide from the scouting reports, which say to run early and often against the Sky. Indiana has poured in the points on the road to a 13-3 mark to the OVER in their last 16, but they may be running clock in the second half with a big lead. Take Indiana and the first half OVER.
