Golden State Valkyries vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m on Golden State in this one. Connecticut might be in their most competitive run of basketball this season, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re still one of the worst teams in the WNBA This season. Golden State has had Connecticut’s number for the better part of the Valkyries time in the WNBA, and I think that continues here as the Valkyries snag another win and cover in this one. Give me Golden State.
