A lingering injury will keep superstar Angel Reese sidelined for a seventh straight game as the Chicago Sky host the Golden State Valkyries at Wintrust Arena tonight.
My Valkyries vs. Sky predictions and WNBA picks expect the visiting team to win comfortably in a low-scoring affair on Friday, August 15.
Valkyries vs Sky predictions
My Valkyries vs Sky best bet: Valkyries -6.5 (-115 at FanDuel)
The Chicago Sky have had a rough season overall, but the outlook in the Windy City has been even more dismal across the last 10 games. In that span, Chicago is just 1-9 both straight-up and ATS.
On the season, Chicago boasts the second-worst defensive rating at 108.8, but that rating has slipped to 110.1 over the last 10 games. Most notably, Chicago’s net rating of -19.6 over the last 10 games is worst in the W, and it’s not particularly close. Dallas sports the second-worst defensive rating in that span at -5.4.
Home court hasn’t been advantageous for Chicago this season, as the Sky boast a -14.3 net rating at home, worst in the Association. Once again, the Sky comfortably lead in this category, with Dallas’ -6.2 home net rating coming in a distant second. Over their last 10 at home, the Sky posted a -14.9 net rating.
The Golden State Valkyries have won and covered in three straight, and are 6-2 ATS across their last eight games. I’ll take the visiting team to win comfortably and extend its current hot streak.
Valkyries vs Sky same-game parlay (SGP)
Valkyries -6.5
Under 149.5
Elizabeth Williams Over 7.5 rebounds
Chicago ranks dead-last in offensive rating over the last 10 games at a paltry 90.5. Golden State has been a bit better on offense in that span with a 101.8 offensive rating, but neither team has been putting up many points.
Over the last 10, the Sky have averaged the fewest points in the W at 69.7, and the Valkyries have posted the second-fewest at 75.1. Golden State has hit the Under in six of the last eight, and Chicago has hit the Under in six straight.
Over the last six games with Reese out, Elizabeth Williams has averaged 10.2 rebounds and pulled down at least eight boards five times. That includes an eight-rebound performance at home against the Valkyries.
Williams has corralled eight or more rebounds in four of her last five games, and with Reese out again, I expect her to stay strong on the glass.
