Golden State Valkyries vs Atlanta Dream Prediction & Picks, October 26, 2026

For the Golden State Valkyries to cover the spread tonight, they need to win by at least one point against the Atlanta Dream. The Valkyries have been strong lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 80 points on average in their last 20 matchups. They are playing at home, which can give them a nice boost. However, the Atlanta Dream are not to be underestimated, having won 9 of their last 10 games and averaging 92.8 points in their last 20. This matchup is very close, so while the Valkyries have momentum, the risk is that the Dream can put up big numbers and keep it tight.

And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Tiffany Hayes Under 13.5 Points (-111)

Tiffany Hayes has been playing well, but her numbers dip a bit when she plays in daylight. Recently, she's been averaging around 2.2 assists away from home and only 8.3 points in those games. The Golden State Valkyries have been strong defensively, allowing less scoring over their last few games. While both teams are on winning streaks, scoring under 13.5 points for Hayes seems likely given her recent performance. The risk here is that she could have a standout game, but with the way Golden State is defending right now, it feels like a solid bet for the under. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. 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.

Angel Reese Over 16.5 Points (+108)

The odds for Angel Reese to score over 16.5 points are looking good at +108. The Golden State Valkyries have been on fire lately, winning seven out of their last ten games and averaging over 80 points in their recent outings. On the other side, the Atlanta Dream also have a strong offense, scoring nearly 93 points per game over their last 20. This could mean a lot of scoring opportunities for Reese as both teams push the pace. One thing to consider is that both teams have been winning a lot lately, so the pressure could be high. However, with Reese's ability to hit from long range and her solid performance in recent games, she has a strong shot to get past that point total. It's not a sure thing, but the signs are pointing in a promising direction. It was priced at +108 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $20.80 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.

Rhyne Howard Over 4.5 Rebounds (+113)

Rhyne Howard has been on fire lately, showing off her skills with a strong scoring average of nearly 93 points per game for the Atlanta Dream over the last 20 games. She's been key in their recent success, helping the team win 9 of their last 10. The Golden State Valkyries have also been playing well, winning 7 of their last 10 games, but they give up a fair number of rebounds. Betting on Rhyne Howard to grab over 4.5 rebounds feels like a solid choice. Both teams are pretty evenly matched right now, so there's a chance this could be a tight game. If she gets into a rhythm, she could easily hit that number, but the risk is that the Valkyries might limit her opportunities on the boards. It was priced at +113 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21.30 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small.
