The Chicago Sky (3-6) host the Connecticut Sun (2-9) in a WNBA 2026 Commissioner's Cup game on Friday, June 5, at Wintrust Arena.
This Eastern Conference matchup is a battle of survival between two teams trying to salvage their early seasons.
Plagued by injuries, the Sky are going through an extremely difficult period and have yet to secure a victory at home. They have lost their last five games, including a recent 90-72 loss to the Washington Mystics. After a good opening quarter, the Sky's offense sputtered in the next three quarters, highlighted by their 18 turnovers.
Offense has been a big problem for the Sky this season, as they have the third-worst offensive rating (100.2) in the league.
As for the Sun, they find themselves in a rather unique situation. After briefly flashing their potential with a surprising 84-81 upset win over the Los Angeles Sparks, they immediately crashed back to earth with an ugly 91-75 blowout loss to the Atlanta Dream.
If the Sky have problems on offense, the Sun have double of those problems. They have the worst offensive rating (94.8), and they're not doing well on defense, either. As a result, they rank last in the league in net rating.

Our Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun Prediction
The Sky have been on a downward spiral, losing their last five games. What's even more disappointing is that they haven't won a single game at home, which takes away a big advantage for them on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Sun haven't been doing well this season, but they have at least split their last two games. Our prediction for the Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun match is: Sun (+6.5) cover the spread.
