On Friday night, 4 games in the WNBA are going to happen. One of the matches will be between Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky. After 26 games, the Wings have 15 wins, 11 losses and 4th place while the Sky has 10 wins, 15 losses and 8th place. In this game, I predict that the Wings will cover the handicap.

The Wings have been one of the best teams in the league recently with 9 wins in the last 12 games and they have lost only to the Aces and Sun. Also, wins have been by a big margin. Out of those 9 victories, 7 were by at least 9 points and only two were closer - against the Fever on the road and at home versus the Aces. At home, Dallas has been one of the best teams with 9 wins in 12 games and they also have the 2nd-best net rating in the league at +7.4. Against Eastern Conference teams at home, the Wings have 4 wins in 5 matches and a net rating of +14.6.

Chicago currently is in the last play-off spot but I can't say that their performance has been great. In the last 8 games, the Sky has just 2 wins and those victories were against the Mercury and Storm - two teams that are one of the worst in the league. Exactly two months ago Chicago got the last win over a team that is higher in the standings. In the last 7 road games, the Sky has only 2 wins. Overall this season, Chicago has 5 road wins and 6 losses. 3 wins have been by 6 points or less while only 1 loss has been by less than 9 points. Despite an almost even road record, Chicago has the 3rd-worst net rating at -7.2 which is pretty huge. On the road against Western Conference teams, Chicago has 3 wins, 3 losses and a net rating of -4.1.

I don't see how Chicago can compete in this match. Dallas is on the roll and they are playing very well. The Wings will also have extra motivation as they lost the 1st season matchup in Chicago.

周五晚上，WNBA将有4场比赛。其中一场比赛将在达拉斯之翼和芝加哥天空之间进行。26场比赛后，翼队15胜11负，排名第4，天空队10胜15负，排名第8。在这场比赛中，我预测翼队将支付障碍。

在过去的12场比赛中，他们取得了9场胜利，是联盟中最好的球队之一，他们只输给了ace和太阳。而且，获胜的优势也很大。在这9场胜利中，有7场至少领先9分，只有2场更接近——客场对阵热火和主场对阵王牌。在主场，小牛是最好的球队之一，在12场比赛中取得了9场胜利，他们的净效率也在联盟中排名第二，达到了+7.4。在主场对阵东部球队时，翼队在5场比赛中取得4胜，净收视率为+14.6。

芝加哥目前是最后一个季后赛席位，但我不能说他们的表现很好。在过去的8场比赛中，天空队只赢了2场，这些胜利是对阵水星队和风暴队，这两支球队是联盟中最差的球队之一。就在两个月前，芝加哥队最后一次战胜了一支排名更高的球队。在过去的7场客场比赛中，天空队只赢了2场。本赛季，芝加哥公牛队客场5胜6负。3场胜利的比分差距在6分以下，只有1场失利的比分差距在9分以下。尽管客场战绩几乎持平，但芝加哥的净收视率为-7.2，排名倒数第三，这是相当大的。在客场对阵西部球队的比赛中，芝加哥队取得了3胜3负的战绩，净收视率为-4.1。

我看不出芝加哥队能在这场比赛中取胜。小牛队状态很好，他们打得很好。由于他们在芝加哥输掉了第一个赛季的比赛，马刺队也会有额外的动力。
