New York Liberty vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m backing the Valkyries and the points here. The Liberty laying points on the road has been a death sentence for the most part this season and the Valkyries have more to play for here in my opinion. Nothing is locked up for Golden State right now, and while the Liberty are fighting for home court and to secure their spot as well, the Valks are closer to the danger zone and getting points with them in Ball-halla, one of the toughest home environments in the WNBA, I think I have to take them here. Give me Golden State and the points.
