Get ready for a WNBA matchup featuring two teams desperately looking to turn their season around! The Chicago Sky (2-7) are heading to Mohegan Sun Arena to face off against the Connecticut Sun (2-7) this Sunday, June 15, 2025. Tip-off is set for 12:00 PM ET, and you can catch the action on CBS. With identical, less-than-stellar records, this game is absolutely crucial for both squads.
When it comes to betting, the lines show how tight this one is expected to be. The Connecticut Sun are generally favored, hovering around a 1 to 1.5-point favorite on the spread. The total points line, or over/under, is seeing slight variation, with some books listing it at 156.5 points and others at 159. On the moneyline, the Sun are favored slightly at -118, while the Sky sit close behind at -104.
Looking at expert predictions, SportsLine analysts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai lean towards the Sun taking the win and expect the game to stay under the total points. Dimers.com’s model gives the Sun a narrow 51% chance of winning.
For those interested in player props, some intriguing bets are being suggested:
- Keep an eye on Ariel Atkins to knock down over 1.5 three-pointers.
- Angel Reese is a popular pick to go over 25.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists.
- Marina Mabrey is being eyed to score over 17.5 points.
- And Jackie Young is another player prop target, with suggestions for her to clear over 29.5 points, rebounds, and assists.
Breaking down the teams, the Connecticut Sun have managed wins in two of their last four outings, including their most recent home game. However, they’ve been the lowest-scoring team in the entire WNBA, which is a key factor.
The Chicago Sky, on the other hand, are currently riding a tough three-game losing streak, with each loss coming by 18 points or more. Their road record isn’t much better at 1-5. A big blow for the Sky is that Courtney Vandersloot will be sidelined for this game.
Looking at betting trends specific to these teams, the Over has hit in six of their last ten head-to-head matchups. In their recent form, the Sun are 2-3 over their last five games, while the Sky have struggled against the spread, going just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 contests.
Considering everything – the tight odds, expert leans, recent form, and injuries – the consensus seems to point towards a very close game, with the Connecticut Sun slightly favored to come out on top at home.
