It hasn’t been a great season for Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. They’re 3-7 and already eliminated from the Commissioner’s Cup. This game against the Washington Mystics gives them a chance to go out with some pride.
The adjustment to a new coach, new system, and new crop of players has been tough. More responsibility falls on Reese to create. With Courtney Vandersloot out for the year, more falls on the young players to bring structure. Reese is chief among them, and responded in a big way in their last game. Reese racked up a triple-double, the first of her career.
As a fun note, she became the second-youngest player in WNBA history to record a triple-double. The youngest? You can probably guess who. It’s Caitlin Clark.
The Sky are four-point underdogs at home and are +154 on the Moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 156.5 points. Let’s look at the best Reese props for this contest.

While it hasn’t been the best year for the Sky, the Mystics aren’t having much fun either. This 4-7 Washington squad has a massive infusion of young talent in Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, while Brittney Sykes has been great on both ends. But it’s not leading to wins recently, with the Mystics losing three of their last four. Early in the year, they looked like a scrappy team that could be an intriguing fourth seed in the playoffs, but I’m not so sure anymore.
This game is a chance for the Sky to leapfrog the Mystics in the standings. After Chicago’s ugly start, being in a playoff position would be a considerable development. Reese is the tone-setter on and off the floor for this team. She controls the glass on both ends, organizes the offense as well as she can, and protects the paint. They’ll be motivated for this one. If the Sky play a good game, Reese will be at the center of it. Expect her to put numbers on the board.
