Golden State Valkyries vs Chicago Sky Preview

The first Valkyries-Sky meeting of the season took place at Chase Center on June 27. Despite Angel Reese’s dominant 17-point, 18-rebound double-double, the hosts secured an 83-78 victory.

Kayla Thornton had a crucial role in the five-point win, scoring 29 points and six rebounds. Tiffany Hayes, Kate Martin, and Kaitlyn Chen also contributed significantly, combining for 34 points.

The Valkyries’ dynamic duo of Veronica Burton and Janelle Salaun proved to be the difference makers this time, combining for 34 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.

Golden State Valkyries vs Chicago Sky Betting Tips

Sky’s Kamilla Cardoso has increased her rebounding production in Angel Reese’s absence. Since July 15, she has been averaging 10.6 rpg. Expect her to dominate the glass against the short-sized Valkyries and clear her rebound-prop of 10.5.

Valkyries’ Janelle Salaun has averaged 10.4 ppg this season. However, her scoring output has increased since Kayla Thornton suffered her season-ending injury, averaging 12.2 ppg across six games in August. Expect her to surpass her 11.5-point prop.

Golden State Valkyries vs Chicago Sky Prediction

The Chicago Sky has struggled over the past month, recording a 1-9 mark in their last 10 games. They head into tonight’s matchup on a three-game losing streak, while the Valkyries ride the momentum of three straight victories.

The Sky’s injury report is stacked with key names such as Reese, Hailey Van Lith, Ariel Atkins and Courtney Vandersloot, further making it difficult for them to match an in-form Golden State squad.

Prediction: Expect the Valkyries to clinch a win.
