Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries and the points here. I understand the quick revenge spot for Atlanta here but once again we’re getting points with the Valkyries at home, as Golden State has been one of the best home teams in the WNBA since their inception into the league over a year and a half ago. Until I really have a reason to fade Golden State in Golden State, I’m not doing it. Give me the Valkyries.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State +1.5
