Connecticut Sun vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Sun and the points here. I know it’s not an ideal spot with Connecticut on the second half of a back-to-back here, but I’ve had a hard time backing the Valkyries as big favorites this season and much prefer Golden State in the underdog role if I’m being honest. The Sun are still a decent team that’s been competitive in a lot of spots and I think they could compete here as well. Give me Connecticut and the points here.
