The Chicago Sky will hope to snip the Dallas Wings in their backyard on Saturday as the two teams meet for the second time after their season opener. The Wings had the better of the Sky with an 87-79 win at the College Park Center. The Sky's offense sputtered and looked rusty in their opening skirmish but will look to fare better against the likes of Natasha Howard and Arike Ogunbowale.
The Wings also had Maddy Siegrist come off the bench to provide the offensive spark with 13 points. The bench combined for 23 points to edge the 22 made by the Sky's role players. Overall, Dallas leads the Sky 28-26 in 54 head-to-head matchups.

Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings Preview
The Chicago Sky matched the Wings up to three quarters of the game, but their offense took a beating, while their defense missed a beat in the final quarter. After allowing the Wings to cut loose, the Sky should be able to tighten things up a little in the rematch.
All eyes will be on Angel Reese as Chicago looks to bounce back. The young forward looked promising on her WNBA debut and will hope to have a better game in her second skirmish of the season against the same team.
The Sky will deal with the absence of Kamila Cardoso but did well in her absence in the first game. The Wings didn't do much wrong, but their offense looked wobbly, and that will be something that works for the Sky as they look to cover the spread.
Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings predicted starting lineups, rotations, and substitutions
The Chicago Sky will likely start with Dana Evans at PG and Marina Mabrey at SG. Diamond DeShields and Angel Reese slot in at SG and PG respectively, while Elizabeth Williams starts as the bonafide C. Chennedy Carter, Lindsay Allen, Michaela Onyenwhere, and Brianna Turner round up the rotation for the Windy City.
The Wings will mostly stick to their same starting five from the season opener. Sevgi Uzun at PG, Arike Ogunbowale at SG, Jaelyn Brown at SF, Natasha Howard at PF, and Teaira McCown at C. Maddy Siegrist, Jacy Sheldon, Stephanie Soares, and Lou Lopez-Senechal are their bench options.
Chicago Sky vs Dallas Wings prediction
The Wings may have homecourt advantage, but the Sky will know that they are a team that was close to getting beaten in the first game.
The Wings capitalized on the Sky's depleted energy on both ends of the floor but will be wary of making a course correction on that front. Expect the Sky to bounce back with a win on Saturday.
