Connecticut Sun vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Sun and the points here. I’ve gone on the record saying time and time again that I think the Sun are the worst team in the WNBA this season. However, the Sun are still finding ways to cover point spreads, and to me that’s all I’m concerned about. The Valkyries for me are great as a dog, but I don’t love laying this kind of number with them, even at home. Connecticut like I said has been ugly at times, but I think they compete here and at least keep it close. Give me the Sun and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Connecticut +10
