Stephen Nover's WNBA Total of the Week - Unbeaten 5-0 WNBA!
(WNBA) Chicago vs. Dallas,
Total: 169.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
Total: 169.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
The season isn't even two games old for the Wings and already they have serious injury concerns. All-Star Satou Sabally is out recovering from a shoulder injury. Starting guard Jaelyn Brown is out with a broken nose and now it's been discovered that Natasha Howard will miss three-to-six weeks after breaking her foot in Dallas', 87-79, opening game win against Chicago this past Wednesday.
Howard is arguably one of the 25 best players in the league.
However, I can't get behind the rebuilding Sky in this rematch. But I can get involved with the Under considering the total is much higher than the closing 162 it was for Wednesday's game.
The teams did not shoot well in that first game. The Sky, though, is more of a defensive team having traded some of their scorers. The Wings have to rely even more on ball hog Arike Ogunbowale with Howard out.
The Sky are dealing with injuries themselves along with plenty of roster movement and a first-year coach in Teresa Weatherspoon. It's going to take them time to jell, especially on the offensive side.
