Golden State Valkyries vs. Indiana Fever Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Valkyries and the points here. I get that this is expected to be the Caitlin Clark return game for the Indiana Fever, but the thing is that Indiana has been a hard team to back with expectation this season. There’s a lot of games where it can be all or nothing for Indiana and Golden State has been a decent underdog for much of the season even if the majority of those performances have come at home. I’ll take my chances with Golden State and the points here.
