Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries in this one. Golden State has made Ballhalla one of the toughest road environments in the WNBA since their inception into the league and I look for that to continue here in year two as this team has real championship aspirations and are out to prove that it’s their time. Dallas has taken their next step as well, but I think this is just a tall task for a playoff opener so give me Golden State at home in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State -7.5
