WNBA Tuesday Night
Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun
Neither the Sun (0-2) nor the Sky (0-1) have fared well in the single-elimination games of the new playoff format; the Sun dropped second-round games (after a first round bye) in 2017 and 2018 and the Sky dropped its second-round game (also after a first-round bye) last season, when the Sun advanced to their first WNBA Finals.
The Sky and Sun split their regular season meetings with both games decided by single digits. The Sky were led by Allie Quigley (19 PPG), Cheyenne Parker (18.5 PPG) and Courtney Vandersloot (9.0 APG) against the Sun. Jasmine Thomas (18.5 PPG), while DeWanna Bonner (17 PPG, 3.5 SPG) and Alyssa Thomas (13 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 6.5 APG) led the Sun against the Sky.
