Chicago Sky vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction
Golden State most recently beat Los Angeles 84-78, controlling most of the game and leading by as many as 19. Cecilia Zandalasini made all five of her 3-point attempts, but the Valkyries still finished at only 84 points despite the unusually efficient perimeter shooting.
Chicago has lost two straight, falling 90-86 to Indiana before a 97-88 loss against Seattle. The Sky are also without Rickea Jackson and Skylar Diggins, who combined for 33 points when these teams met earlier in the season, putting additional pressure on the available scorers against the league’s strongest defense.
That first meeting provides the clearest template for another defensive battle. Chicago won 69-63 at Chase Center, producing only 132 combined points while holding Golden State to 29.3% shooting from the field and 7-of-26 from 3-point range.
Golden State has improved dramatically since then, but its defense remains the more reliable part of the equation. Chicago should have difficulty creating efficient offense without Jackson and Diggins, while the Valkyries do not need to chase a fast pace to control a matchup against a 12-21 opponent.

A game played in the high 70s fits both Golden State’s defensive profile and the history between these teams. Even something like 80-77 leaves significant room below 166.5, while another poor Chicago offensive night could push the total considerably lower.
