Valkyries vs. Sky Preview
Golden State visits Chicago for the third meeting between these two teams this season, with the Valkyries winning four of their last five head-to-head matchups.
Golden State enters off a rare offensive dud, scoring just 66 points in a 77-66 loss to Minnesota, while Chicago is coming off one of its better performances of the year, beating New York 93-86 behind a 35-point outburst from Natasha Cloud.
The Valkyries own the league's best defensive rating and play at the WNBA's slowest pace, while the Sky counter with the league's fastest pace but only the 11th-ranked offensive rating, speed without the efficiency to match.
