Washington Mystics W<\/p>\n
\n Odds updated on August 29, 2025 at 6:30 pm <\/p>\n
The Golden State Valkyries (19-18) have surprised WNBA fans with their will to win in their debut season. The team is well-positioned to secure a playoff spot, having been expected to finish outside the top ten. <\/p>\n
However, they will need one final big push to secure a postseaosn spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the Washington Mystics (16-23) are flailing after a boisterous campaign. The rookie duo of Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen made the team overachieve, but they are pretty much out of the playoff race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Can Golden State win this crucial game against a vulnerable opponent? Here is my favorite Same Game Parlay and prediction for the match-up.<\/p>\n
WNBA Best Bets: Valkyries vs Mystics Same Game ParlaySonia Citron: Points and 3-Pointers<\/p>\n
The Mystics\u2019 rookie is averaging 15.3 PPG. She has elevated her game since the departure of their prime option, Brittney Sykes. Citron has scored 12+ in fifteen straight games. <\/p>\n
She has put up 15.8 PPG in the last five games.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Citron has been a laser long-range shooter. She has knocked down 1.8 3-pointers per game. She has converted 3 or more in five of the last seven games. <\/p>\n
I see her knocking down at least 2 here.<\/p>\n
Citron O 12.5 Points and O 1.5 3-Pointers<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is an overview of the selections:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kiki Iriafen: Points and Rebounds<\/p>\n Iriafen has already become one of the best rebounders in her rookie year. She has also provided some consistent scoring. The forward has tallied 13 PPG and 8.6 RPG.<\/p>\n Recently, she went through a stream of double-doubles (6 out of 7 games). She has grabbed fewer than 7 rebounds in two straight games, but I see that changing here. <\/p>\n I believe the stellar forward will come up with yet another double-double here.<\/p>\n Iriafen O 10.5 Points and O 8.5 Rebounds<\/strong><\/p>\n Veronica Burton: Points and Assists<\/p>\n Valkyries\u2019 guard Burton has been playing her best ball lately. The guard has averaged 12 PPG and 5.6 APG. Her PPG has increased from 10ish last month to 12 now. <\/p>\n In fact, Burton has put up 19.5 PPG and 8.2 APG in the last six games, screaming All-Star numbers. Thus, it wouldn\u2019t be a stretch to pick Burton to score in double-digits while delivering more than 5 assists.<\/p>\n Burton O 10.5 Points and O 5.5 Assists<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a loaded 6-leg SGP. I usually prefer 3-leg SGP, but couldn\u2019t resist mixing things up here. <\/p>\n There are no risky picks here, but one big concern is that the Valkyries\u2019 defense and inconsistent offense can limit points production. But overall, I am confident that all of these will click.<\/p>\n Valkyries vs Mystics SGP: Citron O 12.5 Points and O 1.5 3-Pointers, Iriafen O 10.5 Points and O 8.5 Rebounds, Burton O 10.5 Points and 5.5 Assists<\/a> for +350 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/p>\n WNBA Best Bets: Valkyries vs Mystics Prediction<\/p>\n The Mystics are tottering right now, having lost five in a row. Two of these losses were against one of the bottom three teams in the Connecticut Sun. <\/p>\n The other three were against strong playoff teams. As for Valkyries, they did win against the Wings in their last game but but had lost three in a row before that to the top-four teams. <\/p>\n During the last battle between the two, Golden State prevailed 88-83. The bookmakers have predicted a similar spread to this. I believe the Valkyries will cover it again, as they have most of the season.<\/p>\n Dream vs Wings Prediction: Spread: Valykries -5.5<\/a> for -105 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/p>\n Photo Credit<\/strong>: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images<\/p>\n \t\t\t \t\t\t Hi, I am Shubham.
