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.<\/p>\n
My Valkyries vs. Sky predictions and WNBA picks<\/a> expect the visiting team to win comfortably in a low-scoring affair on Friday, August 15.<\/p>\n Valkyries vs Sky predictions<\/p>\n My Valkyries vs Sky best bet: Valkyries -6.5 (-115 at FanDuel<\/a>)<\/p>\n The Chicago Sky<\/a> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n 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\u2019s net rating of -19.6 over the last 10 games is worst in the W, and it\u2019s not particularly close. Dallas sports the second-worst defensive rating in that span at -5.4.<\/p>\n Home court hasn\u2019t 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\u2019 -6.2 home net rating coming in a distant second. Over their last 10 at home, the Sky posted a -14.9 net rating.<\/p>\n The Golden State Valkyries<\/a> have won and covered in three straight, and are 6-2 ATS across their last eight games. I\u2019ll take the visiting team to win comfortably and extend its current hot streak.<\/p>\n Valkyries vs Sky same-game parlay (SGP)<\/p>\n Valkyries -6.5<\/p>\n Under 149.5<\/p>\n Elizabeth Williams Over 7.5 rebounds<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Over the last six games with Reese out, Elizabeth\u00a0Williams<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Valkyries vs Sky odds Valkyries vs Sky opening odds<\/p>\n Spread: Golden State -6.5 (-115) | Chicago +6.5 (-105) Valkyries vs Sky trend<\/p>\n Chicago has won and covered in just one of its last 10 games.
