On Tuesday, it will be a six-game slate in the WNBA and Chicago Sky will host the Washington Mystics in the Eastern Conference’s crucial matchup. It will also part of the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup where both sides have posted a 1-3 record. One team will get a chance to update their position in the standings.

Chicago Sky had a disappointing start to the season but enter the home fixture with a 78-66 win over the Connecticut Sun which ended their three-match losing streak. Angel Reese dropped her career’s first triple-double and opened the account in the in-season tournament. Sky have posted a 3-7 record in the regular season but they played 7 away matchups in the run. Home court can bring glory and they would look to win back-to-back matches for the second time this season.
