The Chicago Sky (11-11) played a grueling hard fought game against the Atlanta Dream last night winning by a 82-80 count. That confrontation will have the Sky on tired legs and at a disadvantage. The Detroit Shock (7-11) on the other hand are on one days rest after a heart breaking 70-66 loss to Washington on Friday , and very motivated to bounce back and get a much needed win.

The Sky have lost 9 of their L/12 road games this season, with two of those wins coming against Atlanta. Meanwhile, the defending league champions the Shock have not been consistent this season, thanks in part to some early season injuries and the departure of long time coach Bill Laimbeer 3 games into the current campaign.

Despite of the Shocks disappointing season, they still have the talent to come up with one last attempt at making a late season run, for a chance at a play off spot. A lot hinges on the out come of this one game. With that said I’m betting they come out here and play their best contest of the season for a win and more importantly as far as we are concerned a cover .

Projected score: Detroit 81 Chicago 70
