With the pace of play set to be rapid, both teams are likely to push the tempo-think fast breaks and quick scoring opportunities. Our model sees the final margin sitting around just 1.7 points in favor of the Wings, making the Golden State +9.5 spread a tantalizing prospect. The Valkyries' ability to stretch the floor and their aggressive defense could easily frustrate Dallas, keeping the game within reach. As they hit the hardwood at College Park Center, expect a fiercely competitive battle-one where the Valkyries could very well spring a surprise while comfortably covering that spread.
