Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries and the points here. Golden State’s been one of the better underdogs in the WNBA this season, and while the Dream are a top-4 team in the WNBA this season, I think Golden State has all of the pieces needed to be able to contend and keep this game close with their play on the defensive end of the floor. Give me Golden State and the points.
