Valkyries Vs. Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries here. I think this line has flipped to Golden State being favored for a reason, as the Mystics have been stumbling since trading away Brittany Sykes and while there’s still some solid pieces in Washington, the Valkyries for me are still the better coached team playing better basketball. I’ll side with Golden State here.
