Tempo Aim to End Losing Streak vs. Sky
27 May
Summary
- Both teams lost consecutive games before Wednesday's matchup.
- Sky's offense struggles after star Rickea Jackson's injury.
- Tempo's defense ranks 13th in the league, allowing 90+ points.
The Toronto Tempo and Chicago Sky are both heading into their Wednesday night game with consecutive losses. Chicago's struggles have been exacerbated by the season-ending injury to star Rickea Jackson, leading to a significant drop in their offensive rating. As a result, the Sky are now ranked 12th in offensive efficiency.
The Tempo are also coming off two considerable losses, bringing their 2026 record to 3-4. While Toronto boasts a strong guard rotation including Kiki Rice, Marina Mabrey, and Brittney Sykes, their defense is a vulnerability, ranking 13th in the league. They have allowed 90 or more points in five straight games.
Marina Mabrey, a key player for Toronto, has shown inconsistency this season. Despite opportunities, her scoring has varied, and she faces a tough Chicago defense known for limiting opponents' three-point attempts. The Tempo, however, have a strong record against the spread as underdogs and are expected to keep the game close, potentially covering the two-possession line.
