The Connecticut Sun will look to snap a four-game losing streak as they visit the Golden State Valkyries at the Chase Center.
These are two of the lowest-scoring teams in the WNBA, and my Sun vs. Valkyries predictions are taking them to hit another Under tonight.
Keep reading for a full analysis of tonight’s contest in my free WNBA picks for Monday, August 11.
Sun vs Valkyries predictions
My Sun vs Valkyries best bet: Under 155.5 (-108 at DraftKings)
The Connecticut Sun continue to trudge their way through a rebuilding season, as they hold a league-worst 5-25 record. While Connecticut has been awful on both sides of the ball, it has been particularly inept offensively, where it is averaging a league-low 75.5 points per game.
The Golden State Valkyries have been one of the biggest surprises in the WNBA in their debut season, hovering around .500 all year and right in the mix for one of the final playoff spots. Golden State has accomplished this by slowing games to a relative crawl, as it plays at the slowest pace in the league.
For most of the season, the Valkyries have played just well enough on offense to beat teams while allowing a league-low 77.8 PPG. But now, even that level of offensive production is in question after the loss of Kayla Thornton (14.0 PPG), who has undergone knee surgery.
Golden State has now hit the Under in eight of its last 10 games, including six of eight since Thornton was lost for the year. Connecticut doesn’t like to play particularly quickly, either, and doesn’t have the offensive talent to push the scoring over tonight’s total. I’m taking the Under.
Sun vs Valkyries same-game parlay (SGP)
Under 155.5
Valkyries -7.5
Tina Charles Under 13.5 points
Along with the Under, I like the Valkyries to cover at home. Golden State has been the far better team this year, and the Sun came up 24 points short last time these teams met in California.
I’m also taking Sun center Tina Charles to hit the Under on 13.5 points, a consequence of being on the losing side in a low-scoring game.
