Sunday’s Top 5 WNBA Picks & Bets: Valkyries vs. Sun
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Golden State Valkyries -6.5 (-110)
The Valkyries will once again be without the services of Kayla Thornton, whom they lost to a season-ending knee injury, as they take on the Sun on the road in Connecticut. The Sun have lost 14 out of their last 15 games, and have just two victories at home the entire season. The Valkyries defeated the Sun by 24 points when these two teams last met on June 22nd.
The Sun are giving up 88.5 points each contest, as well as allowing the opposition to connect on 46.6% of attempts - the highest throughout the league. Opponents are also knocking down 8.7 shots from beyond the perimeter against Connecticut, at a 35% clip.
Connecticut has one victory in its last 10 games and is facing the fourth-highest rated defense in the WNBA. The Valkyries are allowing the third-fewest amount of points, on the lowest field-goal percentage in the league (40.2%). We confidently feel Golden State can keep a seven-point lead or more at the end of this contest.
