"are" before or after the noun

[Noelia]

Does this sentence sound funny or at least non-native to you?

" I don't know what are the possibilities that you have to win that game"


I was told it should have been:

"I dont know what the possibilities are that you have to win that game"



And I thought that it might be related to the difference between questions and statements. In a question, you say "What are the possibilities? but in a satement, you say " The possibilities are"

This, and the fact that we do name the verb first in Spanish (Cuales son las posibilidades) might be the cause why I tend to write it wrong.

What do you think?

Diría ... '"I don't know what the possibilities are that you have to win that game". La otra frase me suena rara.

I agree with John.
