Golden State Valkyries by 9
Considering the Chicago Sky's recent performance, we can certainly see why the bookies aren't showing them much love. A 4-10 record for the regular season, it's clear they've been behind the eight ball. Let's not discount the efforts of Angel Reese who has been rebounding like she has magnets in her hands, notching up 11.9 rebounds per game this season. Kamilla Cardoso has been sharing the limelight too, throwing in points like they're going out of style, especially over the last month averaging 13.9 points per game. Courtney Vandersloot's 6.8 assists per game also deserve a mention, she's been delivering more dishes than a busy waiter.
Swinging our attention to The Golden State Valkyries, they stand #6 in the WNBA, holding a balanced record of 7-7. Kayla Thornton has had a noteworthy season, her performances have been clean as a whistle, averaging 15.5 points per game last month. Veronica Burton has been more than competent, holding the fort for rebounds at 3.7 per game last month. Tiffany Hayes and Janelle Salaun have also been adding significant notch to the scoreboard.
Pulling together all these threads, it seems the Sky is likely to have a tough time weathering the storm the Valkyries are brewing. With stronger recent results leaning in favor of the Golden State Valkyries, it appears they’re going to hold the edge on this one.
