Golden State Valkyries vs. Chicago Sky

Total: Over 161.5 (-112) — Loss

EV signal: Premium only

Final score: Golden State Valkyries 70, Chicago Sky 73

Why this play: Expect a rebound‑riddled fireworks show that will push the total past 161.5.

Quick read:

I'm taking the over on this one – the Valkyries and Sky are set to turn the paint into a construction site, and the points will pile up faster than a bar tab on happy hour.

Both squads are pulling down over 32 boards a night, and with three‑point shooting stuck in the low‑30s (34.7% for Golden State, 32.1% for Chicago), every airball is a potential extra possession that fuels the scoring marathon.

If one team suddenly lights up from downtown, the total could stall, but at 161.5 the price feels like a cheap ticket to a rebounding circus.
