Golden State Valkyries by 3
Ah, the ongoing saga of the Valkyries and the Aces. What a spicy meatball of a dilemma for gamblers out there.
Golden State Valkyries, hovering right there at the #6 position in the WNBA, exert an aura that screams, "Don't underestimate us, pal." Am I right? The dynamic duo of Kayla Thornton and Tiffany Hayes slams some substantiating numbers down on the table with Thornton delivering a commendable all-around performance this season with 15.1 points per game, sprinkled with a delightful 7.2 rebounds and Hayes chiming in with 13.2 points to keep things jazzy. A close look at Carla Leite's last month stats reveals she too is on fire with 10.0 points per game. I mean, she's practically setting the court ablaze!
Yet, as much we appreciate the Valkyries, we can't ignore the Las Vegas Aces. Sure, they might be lounging around ninth place, but let's face it, they've got some real heavy hitters. A'ja Wilson with her impressive 20.7 points and 8.7 rebounds, and Jackie Young dropping 16.9 bombs per game, it's clear they're not ready to just fold and call it a night.
The Aces and Valkyries' last personal tête-à-tête was a rather one-sided affair, with the Valkyries practically bathing in champagne after the victory. As for recent results, both sides have had tasted both the sweet nectar of victory and the sour grapes of defeat, with the Valkyries showing a slightly stronger performance.
So, who to put your bucks on? The bookies seem to have a soft spot for the Golden State Valkyries, and after weighing up these giants of the court, your favorite side-talking commentator is inclined to side with them.
