Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction
I’m on the Valkyries and the points in this one. I get the case to be made for Atlanta getting back home, but Golden State is no slouch and while the Valkyries are much better at home, they’re still a team that can take their talents on the road and I think they take care of business with at least a cover here.
