Las Vegas Aces vs Golden State Valkyries Prediction & Picks, October 9, 2026

The Las Vegas Aces are scoring a lot of points and have won 33 of their last 49 games, but the Golden State Valkyries have been on a roll too, winning 8 of their last 10. Both teams have faced tough opponents recently, but the Valkyries' schedule has been one of the hardest in the league. This matchup feels very close, and with the points being offered, the Valkyries have a good chance to keep it within 4.5 points. The biggest risk here is just how well the Aces have been playing at home, but I think the Valkyries can surprise us. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 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 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.

Chelsea Gray Over 9.5 Rebounds and Assists (+110)

Chelsea Gray is a key player for the Las Vegas Aces, and she's been really active lately. The Aces are scoring a lot of points and playing well, plus they've been winning most of their recent games. Against the Golden State Valkyries, who have had a tough schedule, Chelsea should have plenty of chances to rack up rebounds and assists. The bet on Chelsea Gray getting over 9.5 rebounds and assists fits well here. While both teams have been strong lately, the Valkyries struggle more against top teams, which could give Chelsea the upper hand. The biggest risk is how close the teams are in performance, making it a tricky matchup. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 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.
