The New York Liberty (1-0) visit the Chicago Sky (0-1) on May 22, Thursday, at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
The Sky got off to a rough start this season, losing a 93-58 decision to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. The team shot just 29.1% from the field and turned the ball over 17 times. Angel Reese hauled in a double-double performance of 12 points and 17 rebounds, but also had five turnovers to her name.
Offense, particularly perimeter shooting and shot-making, will be difficult to come by for the Sky this season.
Meanwhile, the Liberty started their season on the right foot with a 92-78 victory over the Las Vegas Aces. Breanna Stewart produced an efficient 25-point outing, while Natasha Cloud came through with 22 points, 6 boards, and 9 assists.
New York won against a perennial contender despite a bad game from Sabrina Ionescu, who went 0-5 from the three-point line. That says a lot about the defending champions' depth, making them the favorites for this season.
The Liberty has won their last three games against the Sky, all by double-digit margins. Going into their next game, Stewart, Ionescu, and the Liberty will be the favorites.
