On Saturday 3 October 2026, Golden State Valkyries play Dallas Wings in the WNBA. Our model likes 4 bets here. The one it likes most is Dallas Wings +8 on the Line, priced at -103 when we wrote this. Here is the thinking behind each pick, in plain English.

Dallas Wings +8 on the Line (-103)

Odds available at LowVig at time of publishing

The Golden State Valkyries have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and 5 of their last 6. They've faced tough teams, but the Dallas Wings are also strong, with 7 wins in their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 89.2 points per game this season. This matchup looks pretty balanced, so taking Dallas Wings with the points seems smart. With the Valkyries being favored by 8 points, that's quite a cushion for the Wings, who are playing well. The most concrete risk is how close these teams are in recent form, making it tricky to predict a blowout. The Wings have shown they can keep games close, so this bet could pay off nicely. It was priced at -103 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.70 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. The bookmakers have this as a slight 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.

Cecilia Zandalasini Over 9.5 Points and Assists (+110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

Cecilia Zandalasini has been on a roll lately, helping the Golden State Valkyries win 8 of their last 10 games. With her team scoring an impressive average of 89.2 points per game this season, it looks promising for her to reach over 9.5 points and assists. The Valkyries have faced tough competition, but Zandalasini's recent form suggests she can keep delivering. The only concern is that the Dallas Wings are also playing well, winning 7 of their last 10. Still, this matchup gives her a good chance to shine. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. 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.

Gabby Williams Under 23.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Gabby Williams has been playing well lately, but the numbers suggest she might not hit the mark for points and rebounds in this game. The Golden State Valkyries are on a hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10 games, while the Dallas Wings have also been strong, winning 7 of their last 10. With both teams playing well, it could be a tightly contested match, making it tough for Williams to rack up high numbers. While Gabby Williams is talented, the risk here is that the teams are close in skill, which can lead to lower overall stats for individual players. Our numbers indicate that there's a good chance she will stay under 23.5 combined points and rebounds. It's worth a shot, but remember, there's no guarantee she'll meet that mark tonight. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Jessica Shepard Over 19.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing

Jessica Shepard has been on a roll lately, and that's why I like her to get over 19.5 points and rebounds against the Dallas Wings. The Golden State Valkyries are playing well, having won 8 of their last 10 games. Shepard should have plenty of opportunities to score and grab boards, especially with Dallas giving up an average of 89.2 points per game this season. However, the Wings are also doing well, winning 7 of their last 10 games, which means this could be a closer matchup than expected. Shepard's performance may depend on how well she can handle the tough Dallas defense. Still, with her recent form, I think she can hit that mark. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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.

That is how our model reads Golden State Valkyries v Dallas Wings. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
