Golden State Valkyries vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I get the case to be made for either side as the Mystics have been playing well against some of the best teams in the WNBA. However, the Valkyries for me are the clear better team but I don’t know if I love this spread. Instead, I’ll side with the under because the Mystics usually find themselves in low-scoring games and the Valkyries are still the best defensive teams in the WNBA. I’ll side with the under here.
