Chicago @ Golden State picks

Angel Reese is averaging 11.9 rebounds per game on the season and in the month of June, she is averaging 13.0 rebounds per contest – minus one game where she only played 20 minutes. This matchup will provide plenty of rebounding opportunities for her. The Golden State Valkyries are the best rebounding team in the WNBA, but that is because of how many missed shots their games have. They rank next to last in the league in field goal percentage. The Valkyries still allow 34.1 rebounds per game to opponents – ranking eighth in the WNBA. Reese gets over a third of the team rebounds for the Sky, so she will be the one grabbing most of these misses on both ends of the court.

On the heels of 13.1 RPG in 2024, Reese continues to outwork opponents, sitting at the top of this year’s rebounding charts — and it’s not even close. It’s also worth noting that Kamilla Cardoso, Reese’s usual tag-team partner in the frontcourt, is away with the Brazilian national team. That should open the door for Chicago’s No. 5 to snag even more loose balls.
