The WNBA is in full swing, with multiple high-level basketball games set to take place on Sunday (June 4). One of the earlier games on the WNBA's slate will be between the New York Liberty and Chicago Sky, which is scheduled to take place at 2 pm Eastern Time.
According to the Action Network, the New York Liberty are heavy favorites to beat Chicago Sky and will enter the game as -13.5 in the day spread betting.
After five games of WNBA action, the New York Liberty sit second in the standings, having won four of their games. That places them one spot behind the Connecticut Sun, who have played one game more and won five of their first six contests.

Prediction for New York Liberty vs Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky have gone 3-3 in their opening six games of the season and now face one of the stronger rosters in the WNBA. As such, expect New York to continue their strong start to the basketball year to keep pace with the Connecticut Sun.
Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart are a fearsome duo to contend with and can be expected to make a big impact throughout the game. The bigger question is whether the Sky can find a way to slow down New York's offense so that they can remain competitive throughout the contest.
There's a reason why the Liberty are so heavily favored, and one would expect that to become evident in the game.
