Golden State Valkyries vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries and the points here. I just like this Valkyries team in the underdog role, catching points with them, and the Sparks have been a team that have let a lot of their backers down already this season. This also for me sets up as a bit of a look-ahead spot with a huge run of games ahead including road games against the Aces and Lynx and a home game against the Storm. The Valkyries have been scrappy and I think they gave the Sparks some fits and at least cover here.
