The New York Liberty face the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena on Tuesday, and we have you covered with our top Liberty vs. Sky prediction and picks based on the best WNBA odds.

The New York Liberty (7-2) started the season with a 4-0 run but suffered a surprising home loss to the Chicago Sky (3-4) on May 23. As they meet again on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV), the Liberty are favored by 6.5 points.

After two consecutive losses, the Liberty have bounced back with three straight wins, including a commanding 104-68 victory over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday. This strong start has solidified their position near the top of the WNBA championship odds.

The Sky, despite their earlier win over the Liberty, have struggled, losing three of their last four games, including a defeat to the Fever on Saturday. To secure another victory against the 2023 Eastern Conference champions, Chicago will need to find a way to contain Breanna Stewart, the reigning WNBA MVP odds winner.

Here are our best Liberty vs. Sky predictions (odds via our best sports betting sites; Pick confidence is based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Liberty vs. Sky predictions for Tuesday

Sky +6.5 ⭐⭐⭐

At a glance, it's easy to talk yourself into a bet on the road favorites. The Liberty notched a dominant 36-point win over the Fever on Sunday, one day after Indiana gutted out a low-scoring triumph over the Sky.

The transitive property only goes so far in the regular season, though, and let's not forget that Chicago won this matchup outright when these teams played two weeks ago.

The Sky boast the type of physical frontcourt that can frustrate New York's bigs, which is the best way to keep things from unraveling early against the 2023 runners-up.

The Liberty often play down to their competition, unless Clark and the Fever are on the other side. And I think the Sky will be eager to quiet the critics after an eventful weekend on social media.

Give me the points in a matchup that could end in another upset.

Under 162.5 ⭐⭐

These two teams combined for 171 points during a 90-81 win for the visiting Sky when New York and Chicago last met. I'd be surprised if we see that much offense on Tuesday.

Chicago is averaging 75.8 points per game since that outing (eighth in the WNBA), and the team has fallen below this total in three straight contests. That comes on the heels of Saturday's loss in Indiana, when both teams shot a combined 39.9% from the field and 21.6% from deep.

New York owns the league's best offensive rating (106.9), but a 99 points-per-game average in three matchups against the Fever is boosting that production. The team is averaging just 79.7 points in its other six games while falling below this total in two of four affairs since last facing the Sky.

This price likely isn't the best you'll find before tipoff, hence the two-star endorsement. But this is still the way I'd lean on the total for this contest.
