Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries here. I think this could honestly be a letdown spot for Dallas after such a convincing win over Las Vegas in their last outing. Golden State’s been one of the toughest home teams in the WNBA and I think they get the job done in this one. Give me the Valkyries.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State -2.5
