Golden State Valkyries vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries here. Interestingly enough, it’s the first time in Golden State’s history that they’re a road favorite, but for good reason. I thought the Sun getting back Marina Mabrey would help? It didn’t. I thought Golden State losing Kayla Thornton would hurt them against Dallas, it didn’t. I need more points to consider Connecticut here, as the Valks are just too well coached to not back here to kick the Sun while they’re down. Give me Golden State.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State -5.5
