Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries here. The Dream have the benefit of being at home, but I have a lot more faith in the defense of Golden State travelling here and I think that Golden State gets it done and hoists the title. It’s an early start which could play well for the Dream, but I think the momentum in this series has clearly shifted and I’m looking for Golden State to take care of business. Give me the Valkyries here.
