Here's what to look for today:
Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky8:00 p.m., Wintrust Arena, Chicago
Line: Sky -4.5
Money line: Sun (+162), Sky (-195)
Total: 162.5 points
BPI Win%: Sky (50.4%)
Best bet: Sky -4.5. In order to avoid going down 0-2, Chicago will go all out. The WNBA has had 15 best-of-five series where a team has trailed 0-2, and that team has lost all 15 of them. Tonight, the Sky will give it their all. With Candace Parker's epic performance in Game 1, I was surprised the Sky lost. It was her fifth career playoff game with 15 or more points and 15 or more rebounds, which extends her record. In a grind out, bruising battle, both teams shot under 40%. Chicago scored 63 points and shot only 35.3% from the field, its lowest percentage in a playoff game since 2014. -- Eric Moody
Seattle Storm at Las Vegas Aces10 p.m., Michelob Ultra Arena, Las Vegas
Line: Aces -6
Money line: Storm (+205), Aces (-250)
Total: 169.5 points
BPI Win%: Aces (64.2%)
Ruled Out: Gabby Williams (concussion)
Best Bet: Aces -6. After the Storm "stole" game one in Las Vegas, the Aces have their backs against the proverbial wall. If they lose again, at home, they'd head to Seattle on the brink of elimination. The Aces have been the better team all season, and even with the Game 1 loss they've won five of the last seven head-to-head matchups between the two teams. All three of the Aces' wins against the Storm this season have come by at least eight points, with an average margin of 9.3 ppg. -- André Snellings
