Sky vs Wings Preview, Prediction, Injuries, Lineups, Odds & Where to Watch – WNBA 2025 Regular Season (May 29)

The Chicago Sky and Dallas Wings are destined to clash on May 29 for their first WNBA 2025 regular season matchup. Both of these teams are having a hard time settling this season, as both of them are languishing at the bottom of the Conference rankings. The Wings found their melody in the last game when they secured a 22-point victory against the Connecticut roster.

Still, these teams have not delivered according to expectations, especially with the players that they have on the team. A poor team combination may be one of the reasons why teams cannot perform with players like Angel Reese and Arike Ogunbowale.

The Sky and Wings need to sort the priority list of playing time allotment to the big names on their squad. If the right players are present in the late quarters of the game at the right position, it might turn the season campaign for them. Let's go through the preview of the Sky vs Wings matchup on May 29 that can change the course for these two teams for the rest of the 2025 WNBA season.

Sky vs Wings Match Preview

After a four-game losing streak, the Dallas Wings tried to find momentum against the Connecticut Sun, and they did on May 27. Right now, they are at the bottom of the Western Conference rankings with a winning percentage of 20%. They have won one out of the last five games, while the Chicago Sky are yet to register a victory in the 2025 regular season.

They have gone 0-4 this season with no winning roster. Despite having stars like Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, and Courtney Vandersloot on their end, the Sky are struggling with the performance of the second string. It is too much of a load for a team like the Chicago Sky, and they need to come up with better solutions for the rest of the season.

The details regarding the Sky vs Wings matchup on the home court of the Chicago Sky can be tabulated as follows:

Sky vs Wings Players To Watch

The Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky will be facing each other for the first time this season, so it is difficult to decide on impact players in terms of respective performances. However, both teams have played 4 or more than 4 games, and it has set the tone for standout players from both teams. For example, the brightest prospect for the Wings is the first pick from the 2025 WNBA Draft, Paige Bueckers. On the other hand, the whole starting lineup of the Chicago Sky is lit, but Angel Reese is one of the most consistent performers on the list of stars. So let's shed more light on these expected top shots for the May 29 matchup.

Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings)

It takes special talent to shadow a veteran elite guard like Arike Ogunbowale, and Paige Bueckers is the special one. In the last blowout victory against the Connecticut Sun, Bueckers recorded 21 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals. She dominated the whole game and was the leading scorer from the Wings' end in the May 27 game.

So far this season, she has played in all five games for the Dallas Wings. In those regular-season games, Paige has averaged 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.8 steals. There are chances that she will once again step on the court to take over the Sky roster on May 29.

Angel Reese (Chicago Sky)

Angel Reese is consistently delivering for the Chicago Sky roster this season. In the previous game against the Phoenix Mercury, she tallied 13 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists. Even in the game before that against the Los Angeles Sparks, she had 13 points and 12 rebounds. She might not be the highest point getter for the team, but she is the most impactful.

In the 2025 regular season, she has played three games with the Sky. During those games, Reese averaged 10 points, 14 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. As a first-round seventh pick in the 2024 Draft, Reese is on a roll on an individual level.

Sky vs Wings Prediction: Who will win?

The Dallas Wings are playing with an offensive squad that is even challenging the best teams like the Minnesota Lynx. In the last game against the Lynx, Wings lost the game by a four-point margin with a scoreboard line of 85-81 on May 21. Despite losing four games in a row, the Wings did not lose their approach, and that's why they are the favorites to win the Sky vs Wings matchup.

However, the same positive note cannot go for the Chicago Sky. They are just a loss away from moving to the last spot in the Eastern Conference rankings, replacing the Connecticut Sun. The fifth loss that the Sun faced was also against the Wings on May 27, where the scoreline was 109-87. It was a 22-point victory for Arike Ogunbowale and company. It seems like the Wings are picking up pace, especially with the performance that 2025 WNBA Draft winner Paige Bueckers showed off.

Coming to the performance of the Chicago Sky, they need to effectively utilise their bench strength. The starting lineup of the Sky roster is doing its job under the supervision of Angel Reese and Courtney Vandersloot. However, their second string only added 10 points and 6 rebounds against the Phoenix Mercury. On the other end, Mercury's bench strength recorded 35 points and 5 rebounds against the Sky. Considering the scoring battle, the Dallas Wings have an upper hand this time.

Prediction:

Our prediction is Dallas Wings winning the matchup by an 85-77 score line.
