Golden State Valkyries vs. Dallas Wings Prediction
I’m looking at Golden State in this one. The spot itself sets up for Dallas here with a bounce back revenge game at home after collapsing against the Mystics, but the Valkyries have a defense that travels and while they’re a lot more attractive at home where they’ve been so good since the start of last year, the Valkyries are just the heads and shoulders value side for me in this game. Give me the Valkyries.
