The Chicago Sky look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Sky have lost 5 straight road games.
The Chicago Sky are averaging 88.2 points on 44.6 percent shooting and allowing 90.2 points on 44.6 percent shooting. Sydney Taylor is averaging 14.7 points and 1.6 rebounds, while Kamilla Cardoso is averaging 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds. Skylar Diggins is the third double-digit scorer, and Azura Stevens is grabbing 6.8 rebounds. The Chicago Sky are shooting 32.5 percent from beyond the arc and 76.5 percent from the free-throw line. The Chicago Sky are allowing 31.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.8 rebounds per game.
The Golden State Valkyries look for a win after winning 13 of their last 15 games. The Valkyries have won 6 of their last 7 home games.
The Golden State Valkyries are averaging 83.3 points on 42.5 percent shooting and allowing 77.1 points on 42.5 percent shooting. Gabby Williams is averaging 14.7 points and 3.2 rebounds, while Janelle Salaun is averaging 13.1 points and 1.1 assists. Veronica Burton is the third double-digit scorer, and Kayla Thornton is grabbing 5.1 rebounds. The Golden State Valkyries are shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc and 77.6 percent from the free-throw line. The Golden State Valkyries are allowing 34 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.5 rebounds per game.
Janelle Salaün is questionable for the Valkyries with knee soreness. Kiah Stokes is out with a concussion.
The Sky will be without Rickea Jackson due to a knee injury. Skylar Diggins is out with a knee injury. Sydney Taylor is out with a groin issue.
The Sky aren’t the same team on the road as they are at home, and they’re still down Taylor. The Valkyries are one of the most balanced teams in the league and have the ability to flex their muscle a bit. However, this feels like a lot of points with two defense-minded teams. It was a dogfight back in May, a game the Sky actually won as a big underdog. The Valkyries should win, but this feels like a low-scoring game where you’d want points in your pocket. These teams can scrap and defend at an above-average level. I want the points.
