This WNBA matchup features two teams that understand that they desperately need to get a victory soon in order to keep their Playoff hopes alive as the season moves forward. The San Antonio Silver Stars have not played up to their potential this season. By losing some very winnable games, San Antonio has put themselves in a position where they now have to play catchup to the rest of the conference. The Chicago Sky have also been underwhelming this season, but that is to be expected with a team as young as Chicago is. Looking at this matchup objectively, bookmakersonlinebetting.com is of the opinion that taking the UNDER for your free bet selection is a great option for this particular game.

The Silver Starts are lead by Sophia Young and WNBA veteran Becky Hammon. Both of these players together, with Chamique Holdsclaw, should be providing enough of a spark to take the Silver Stars to the next level. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case this season, as San Antonio has struggled just to maintain respectability in a loaded conference. The problem really begins and ends up front where there is no real depth behind Holdsclaw and Michelle Snow. Ruth Riley can definitely play better than she has been playing, and the Silver Stars are getting little help beyond these three players. The backcout of Hammon and Edwige Lawson-Wade has been good enough, but even they could be playing better than they currently are. This lack of offensive punch will ultimately lead to the UNDER winning your free wager on Wednesday afternoon.

Chicago has a star in the making in Sylvia Fowles. Averaging over 19 points and 9 rebounds per game, Fowles is one of very few bright spots that are a part of this team. There are some players, though, that have a lot of potential, and it will be up to the Sky's coaches to turn this potential into game production in order for the Sky to take the next step forward. A lack of production on the front line has really been Chicago's biggest enemy so far this season. Besides Fowles, Shameka Christon has really been the only player who has been posting significant numbers that are contributing to the victories that the Sky currently have. Christon's 2.4 rebounds per game has to improve because she is a big enough body inside that there should be more production coming from her position. As the Sky have no real scorer beyond Fowles, it is very easy to see how this free bet could end up going UNDER the posted total.

Both of these teams are fairly even when you talk about the level of skill and talent that both have on their roster. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top of this evenly matched contest. However, don't expect a great deal of points to be scored, as there are major flaws in both teams that haven't been remedied up to this point in the season. Follow the advice of bookmakersonlinebetting.com and take the UNDER as the free wager total for this July 14th matchup.
