Golden State Valkyries vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction
I’m leaning towards Golden State here. Obviously this all depends on the status of A’ja Wilson, but the Aces with or without Wilson have been a disappointing team for much of the season. The Valkyries have been proving naysayers wrong all season long and it wouldn’t surprise me if they managed to do it again here. Give me the Valkyries for a nice road win here.
