The Golden State Valkyries kick off their road trip with a game against the Chicago Sky on Friday night.

The Valkyries won six in a row, including the first two on their homestand, before falling 77-66 to the Lynx on Wednesday night. 

Chicago’s last loss came in Golden State last week before picking up a win in Seattle and at home over the Liberty in its last two contests.

The Sky did win the first meeting of the season back in May, 69-63.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday’s WNBA matchup.

Valkyries vs. Sky Best WNBA Prop Bets

Sky Best WNBA Prop Bet

• Kamilla Cardoso OVER 24.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-114)

Kamilla Cardoso has been heating up for the Sky. She’s gone OVER 24.5 PRA in seven straight games, including 36 and 33 PRA in her last two contests.

The Valkyries present a tough test, but Cardoso just had 20 points, six rebounds, and one assist against them last week. She’s now up to 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game this season.

Valkyries vs. Sky Prediction and Pick

There were only 162 points in the meeting last week, and now we’re getting a total just below that, which makes sense. Golden State has gone UNDER in four straight games, with Chicago cashing the UNDER in three straight and five of its last six.

I see another low-scoring game in Chicago tonight.

Pick: UNDER 161.5 (-110)
