Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
As the Dallas Wings gear up to host the Golden State Valkyries at the College Park Center, this matchup promises intensity and strategic play. The Wings have shown flashes of brilliance, but they've also struggled with consistency, particularly on defense. Enter the Valkyries, a team that thrives on exploiting defensive lapses, showcasing a potent offense that could capitalize on any misstep. With our model predicting a tight finish, projecting a margin of just -1.7 points for Dallas, the 7.5-point spread for Golden State feels like a generous cushion. The Valkyries have been playing at a fast pace, pushing the tempo, which often leads to high-scoring affairs. If they can keep this game competitive-and given the Wings' occasional lapses-covering that spread could be well within reach. Expect a closely contested battle where every point matters, and the Valkyries might just surprise us. It was priced at -286 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.50 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
