Overview

  • The game starts at 7:30 p.m. ET at Chase Center in San Francisco and will be broadcast live on ESPN.
  • Golden State is currently seventh in the WNBA standings and is riding a three-game win streak powered by one of the league’s top defenses.
  • Monique Billings has rejoined the rotation, allowing the Valkyries to release temporary signing Kaila Charles and boost frontcourt depth.
  • Chicago enters having lost 11 of its past 12 games and remains shorthanded with season-ending absences for Courtney Vandersloot and an unclear timetable for Angel Reese.
  • The Valkyries have outscored the Sky in the first two meetings this season and will look to leverage their defensive edge to solidify a playoff berth.
