Golden State Valkyries vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
I’m on the Valkyries in this one. I just think the Valkyries have beat up on inferior teams all season long and I look for them to take care of business against a Sparks team that’s just playing out the string at this point. The Sparks have found ways to be competitive in spots, but I don’t think this is one of those spots. Give me Golden State.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State -11.5
