Golden State Valkyries vs. Chicago Sky Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in some spots, but the thing is that the Sky have really struggled without Angel Reese in the lineup, and while Ariel Atkins is back, the minutes restriction has really put the Sky behind the 8-ball without their best on the floor at all times. The Valkyries are rock solid defensively and even on the road I think it’s too much for the Sky to contend with here. Give me Golden State.
