Though the Sky won't make the playoffs this season, they need to win games to protect their future draft capital.

The Seattle Storm looks to strengthen its grasp on the No. 8 seed in the WNBA playoffs on Tuesday at Wintrust Arena to take on the Chicago Sky.

Behind big games from Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins, the Storm took control in the first half and hung on late for a nail-biting win against the Chicago Sky.

The Chicago Sky fell to the expansion Golden State Valkyries 90-59 on Friday for their 12th loss in 13 games. Angel Reese (back) missed her seventh straight game.

Chicago enters a matchup against New York after losing six straight road games. Thursday's game is the third meeting of the season between the two teams.

Skylar Diggins scored 24 points, Nneka Ogwumike added 21 points and the Seattle Storm beat the Chicago Sky 94-88 on Tuesday night.

It had been three weeks to the day since Angel Reese last played for the Chicago Sky. The 23-year-old forward had been sidelined since July 29 with a back injury, and in her first game back — a 94-88 loss to the Seattle Storm on Tuesday — she was put on a minutes limit — something she admitted after the game she wasn't thrilled about.
