The Golden State Valkyries are -13.5 favorites when they play host to the Toronto Tempo at the Chase Center.

Tempo vs Valkyries prediction

Tempo vs Valkyries best bet: Veronica Burton Over 18.5 points + assists (-115)

Veronica Burton’s expanded role as the Golden State Valkyries primary facilitator makes her Over 18.5 Points & Assists (-115) the sharpest single-prop target on the board. 

Burton torched this exact Toronto Tempo defense on Sunday, pouring in 17 points and 6 assists on efficient 6-of-10 shooting in just 29 minutes. 

The Tempo boast a 128.7 Defensive Rating across their last five games because they allow 46 ppg in the paint, offering Burton points at the cup or a drive-and-dish to a cutter or a wing. 

Burton has cleared this number in four straight and is playable to -130.

Tempo vs Valkyries same-game parlay

Tempo forward Nyara Sabally is a versatile scorer who’s been in and out of the Toronto lineup. 

When she’s in, she’s scored at least a dozen points in four of her previous five contests. Golden State is allowing nearly 38 ppg in the paint, and Sabally will cook. 

Burton is the Valkyries engine. She’s also an underrated three-point shooter, knocking down a career-high 37% of her four attempts from deep.

She’s drained two or more triples in four straight and meets a Tempo defense allowing nearly 16 made threes per night in their last five games.
