Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries in this one. I can understand why you’d back the Dream here, as Atlanta has been able to beat the Valkyries at their own game a couple of times in this series. However, the series shifts back to Ballhalla, and this is the toughest road environment in the entire WNBA and I imagine with the gravity of game seven, the crowd will be extra riled up for this game. It should be a fantastic matchup and it’s game seven so it’s bound to be great, but I think Golden State gets it done as the more trustworthy squad here. Give me the Valkyries to hoist the title.

Matchup History

The Atlanta Dream managed to force game seven with an 80-69 win over Golden State in game six last time out.
