Golden State Valkyries vs. Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m on Golden State here. The Storm have played their best ball at home, but they’ve been wildly inconsistent at times as of late, and the Golden State Valkyries have been one of the better underdogs in the WNBA this season. Granted, it’s been better at home, but still, even though the Storm would like some revenge at home, I’ve learned not to bet against the Valkyries catching points. Give me Golden State here.
