DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/strong>. The over\/under is set at 158.5 points.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s my prediction and pick for Sunday\u2019s Valkyries vs. Wings matchup.<\/p>\n
Valkyries vs. Wings prediction<\/p>\n
The Wings may not have a playoff spot this year, but they\u2019ve found their future in Paige Bueckers. She poured in 44 points against the Sparks, looking as smooth as any player as ever looked.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not a one-night instance either. She\u2019s averaging 19.4 points per game on 47.1 percent from the field. She\u2019s exactly the type of player that Dallas can build a franchise around.<\/p>\n
The Valkyries don\u2019t have that, but they\u2019ve done much better in the present-day WNBA. They\u2019re the eighth seed, but they\u2019re falling apart with so many key injuries. Kayla Thornton, the team\u2019s best player, is out for the season. Additionally, two others have been ruled out and two more are game-time decisions.<\/p>\n
Golden State\u2019s rotation is thin, and it\u2019s hurting the team\u2019s chances at a playoff bid. Even against a weak team like the Wings, it can be a challenging match with so few available players.<\/p>\n
Valkyries vs. Wings pick, best bet<\/p>\n
The Wings may have the worst win percentage in the WNBA, but they\u2019re going to pull off an upset on Sunday. Golden State is crumbling with injuries, so Dallas should be able to control the pace.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Wings are playing at home. They\u2019ll have the advantage on Sunday and should pull out the win.<\/p>\n
