A 4-game WNBA slate is scheduled for Saturday, which will include a matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Portland Fire. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Sky and the Fire.
Chicago enters this game having finished 2025 with a record of 10-34. During the offseason, the Sky lost Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream. Heading into 2026, the Sky do not look as if they will be very competitive, but could be a surprise team, and certainly could have success against an expansion team.
As for Portland, they will be making their WNBA debut in this game as one of the new expansion teams. The Fire will play in the Western Conference this season, but are largely an unknown given the fact that they have only played two preseason games, losing both of them by 10 points. Heading into the season opener, we should expect the Fire to start sluggish, especially because this will be their first competitive game.

Our Portland Fire vs Chicago Sky Prediction
While Chicago is the favorite in this game, the under looks to be the best betting option. The Fire ranked last in scoring last season, averaging 75.8 points per game. That was when they had Angel Reese on the team as well; therefore, because she is no longer with Chicago, the Sky could struggle to score consistently in 2026.
Portland, on the other hand, averaged 78 points in their two preseason games. Their defense was a bit lacking, but given that the Sky have not recently proven to be much of a threat offensively, our Chicago Sky vs Portland Fire prediction is: Under 160.5 Total Points.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
