What happened: The Chicago Sky play at the Seattle Storm at 5 p.m. ET on League Pass, part of a Sunday slate that also sends the Indiana Fever to the Atlanta Dream at 5 p.m. on ESPN. The Portland Fire host the Phoenix Mercury at 7 p.m. on ESPN, with Diana Taurasi set for an induction with the Mercury afterward.

Why it matters: Seattle sits at 7-31 with a 1-4 mark over its last five games, while Chicago is 12-23 but has dropped three straight. Sunday's Sky-Storm matchup closes a weekend that also features Indiana and Atlanta on ESPN.

By the numbers: Seattle: 7-31 overall, scoring 83.6 points per game and allowing 88.9. Chicago: 12-23 overall, scoring 87.9 and allowing 90.3. Seattle won the teams' last meeting 97-88 on Aug. 10; Chicago took the prior matchup 95-90 on July 15.

What to watch: The result sets the tone for Chicago's three-game skid and Seattle's search for its first win since a 1-4 stretch.
