Golden State Valkyries vs. Toronto Tempo Prediction

I’m backing the Valkyries here. I like the Tempo in certain spots, but the fact is that the Valkyries have been one of the best teams in the WNBA this season and have a defense that tends to travel out on the road. The Tempo have had issues at home in some of their recent outings and I think that they could have more problems here against this Golden State defense. Give me the Valkyries.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State -7.5
