Indiana Fever vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries here. I get that the Valks are on the second half of a back-to-back here but at least they got to sleep in their own beds and get their top names some rested minutes after being in blowout mode for the better part of Saturday’s game against Washington. The Fever are a solid team as well, but Golden State catching points as a dog at home has been money this season, and I’m not trying to deviate from that. Give me Golden State here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State +2
