Valkyries guard Veronica Burton has seven dimes in each of her last three games, but I\u2019m fading her in this matchup with Chicago.<\/p>\n
The Sky rank sixth in the league in defensive rating over their last 10 games, and they\u2019re sixth in opponent assists per game for the entire 2026 season.<\/p>\n
Burton was held to just four dimes in the first meeting between these teams, and she\u2019s averaging 5.7 assists per game overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If this prop was set at 5.5, I think the OVER would be in consideration, but this is entirely too high for the Valkyries star guard. Burton only has 12 games this season (out of 32) where she has picked up at least seven assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sky vs. Valkyries Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
Chicago\u2019s season-long numbers aren\u2019t impressive, but the Sky have the sixth-best defensive rating in the league over their last 10 games, and they\u2019ve jumped to ninth overall in net rating.<\/p>\n
The Sky upset the Valkyries \u2013 in Golden State \u2013 back in May, but they look a lot different now with Rickea Jackson done for the year. Still, Chicago is 8-4 against the spread as a road underdog, and there\u2019s an interesting trend developing with the Sky in their last 10.<\/p>\n
Over this 10-game stretch, Chicago is 5-5 straight up, keeping every game within nine points or winning it outright. So, a blowout win by Golden State may not be as easy to come by as the standings would suggest.<\/p>\n
The Valkyries have the No. 1 defense in the WNBA, but they\u2019re just seventh in offensive rating and have covered in only seven of 13 games when favored at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019d bet on Golden State to win this game outright as a parlay piece, as it has an impressive 13-4 record at Chase Center. Still, laying this many points is tough when Chicago has an average scoring margin of just minus-3.4 points per game when set as a road underdog.\u00a0<\/p>\n
