Golden State Valkyries vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game. but Golden State has a defense that travels and can shut down the Sun’s inconsistent offense. On the other side, the Valkyries are coming off of that massive win over Minnesota and there might be a bit of a letdown for Golden State offensively in this game. I’ll side with the under here.
