Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on Golden State here. Atlanta looked dominant in game three, but I’m sure it’s something Golden State’s had to hear about in droves since the game happened. I stand by the sentiment that Natalie Nakase is one of the best adjustment coaches in the WNBA and I look for that to continue here. Give me Golden State and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Golden State +4.5
