Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction
I’m on the Valkyries and the points here. I was on the other side against Minnesota because the Valkyries admittedly haven’t been as strong on the road from an underdog perspective as they’ve been at home. However, the Dream are not a team I’m rushing to back right now, as Rhyne Howard is still listed as day to day, and that’s a big absence for the Dream if she continues to miss. The Valkyries just barely missed out on covering against the Lynx and I’m not really holding that against them. I think Golden State can make this one competitive and could potentially win this one outright. Give me Golden State and the points here.
