Connecticut Sun vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction
I’m on the Valkyries here. It’s a big number to lay with a Valkyries team that is a defensive minded squad, but we’ve seen the Valkyries win games this season by margin, and have also won games in this head-to-head by margin as well and the Sun in my opinion could be the worst team in the WNBA this season. There’s just not much going on in the final year in Connecticut before the team relocates to Houston and I think Golden State shows that as they win this game comfortably. Give me the Valkyries.
