**Summary:**
The Chicago Sky are visiting the Dallas Wings seeking a second consecutive victory after narrowly defeating them at home. Analyst Phil Naessens highlights Ariel Atkins as a key player for the Sky, predicting she’ll exceed 1.5 three-pointers made. He bases this on her recent performance, her strong three-point shooting percentages, Dallas’s weak three-point defense, and the absence of Paige Bueckers for Dallas. He also expects strong performances from Dallas’s Arike Ogunbowale and Maddie Siegrist, due to Bueckers’ absence and Chicago’s porous defense. He also notes that the Sky have generally played very well against the Wings in the past. Hailey Van Lith and Tyasha Harris are marked as game-time decisions, while Paige Bueckers is out due to injury.

**Sky Look to Double Down Against Wings, Betting Odds Favor Atkins’ Three-Point Prowess**
DALLAS, TX – The Chicago Sky travel to Dallas tonight to face the Wings for the second time in three days, hoping to replicate their narrow 97-92 victory from Thursday. All eyes are on Sky guard Ariel Atkins, whose recent hot streak from beyond the arc has caught the attention of analysts and bettors alike.
Sports analyst Phil Naessens is particularly bullish on Atkins’ chances of exceeding 1.5 three-pointers made, citing her impressive 42% shooting percentage from three-point range this season and the Wings’ struggles defending the perimeter. He also noted the absence of Paige Bueckers for Dallas, which should give Atkins more space to shoot.
“Atkins is a career 36% shooter from downtown and a 42% shooter so far this season. Plus, without Bueckers, the Wings lose perimeter length which should help Atkins shine,” Naessens stated.
Beyond Atkins, the Sky will need to contain the high-scoring duo of Arike Ogunbowale and Maddie Siegrist of the Wings. Naessens expects Ogunbowale to continue her scoring tear, especially in Bueckers’ absence, while Siegrist should get more scoring opportunities.
The Sky have dominated the recent head-to-head matchups, winning 7 of their last 10 games against the Wings.
As for injuries, Sky’s Hailey Van Lith and Wings’ Tyasha Harris are game-time decisions, while Paige Bueckers remains sidelined for the Wings due to a concussion.
