The Atlanta Dream dominated the Golden State Valkyries in Game 3, and my Valkyries vs. Dream predictions believe they will seize a commanding 3-1 series lead at home in Game 4 today (1 p.m. ET, NBC).
My WNBA picks for Saturday, Oct. 24 will also target Valkyries vs. Dream player props on Angel Reese and Jordin Canada.
TOP PICK
Valkyries vs Dream prediction: Dream -3.5
I expect a win of 6-7 points, so I’ll trade this line to -5.5.
The Golden State Valkyries capitalized on ball security, tenacious defense and a barrage of three-pointers in the regular season, but Atlanta has taken away those advantages, and the Dream’s elite defense has been the swing factor thus far.
The Atlanta Dream lead the series in Offensive and Defensive Rating, points, rebounds, assists, steals, TO% and FG%.
Golden State has scored 1.5 fewer points and surrendered 4.8 more ppg in the Finals than it did in the regular season, and its Defensive and Offensive Ratings have fallen by 4.4 and 3.6 points, respectively.
Atlanta’s offense is humming, and the 97 points scored in Game 3 are the second-most surrendered by the Valkyries this season.
Golden State doesn’t have the firepower to keep pace with Atlanta, and the Dream’s stifling defense has neutralized the Valkyries’ biggest advantage.
COVERS INTEL: Golden State took Game 1 with a decisive fourth-quarter comeback, but it’s been all Atlanta for most of the series. The V’s won two of four quarters in Game 1 but only two total quarters between Games 2 and 3. The Valkyries haven’t led once in the series since 9:31 in the third quarter of Game 3.
Valkyries vs Dream combo
Through three games, Angel Reese is the leading scorer and rebounder in the Finals with 21.7 points and 13.3 boards. She’s reached 16+ points in two straight, and she’s corralled 12+ rebounds in all three contests.
Reese has taken her game to the next level in the Finals, but she found success against the Valkyries in three regular-season meetings, averaging 14 points and 12.3 rebounds, scoring 16+ once and grabbing 12+ rebounds thrice.
Golden State’s shooting has regressed significantly to just 39% from the floor and 29.9% from beyond the arc, leading to missed shots and additional rebounding opportunities.
Reese is turning steals and blocks into transition buckets on the other end and attacking the V’s relentlessly by drawing contact and getting to the charity stripe.
Recent production makes these lines valuable, and I’ll trade her points up to 17.5 and rebounds up to 12.5.
Valkyries vs Dream combo
- Dream -3.5
- Angel Reese Over 15.5 points
- Angel Reese Over 11.5 rebounds

Valkyries vs Dream player prop: Jordin Canada Over 7.5 assists
Jordin Canada leads the playoffs in total assists at 69, averaging 8.6 per game. She’s handed out 8+ in six of eight postseason appearances, including each of her last two.
Canada’s home-road splits are notable. Including the playoffs, she’s averaged 8.2 assists at home compared to just 6.8 on the road.
Canada has surpassed this line in 16 of 25 home games, reaching 8+ assists in both home playoff appearances.
Canada has multiple ways to reach 8+ dimes, as she can find Angel Reese in the paint, kick out to a number of sharpshooters on the perimeter or find teammates sprinting down the court on a fastbreak for an easy outlet pass.
I price this line closer to 57%, so I’m happy to get the value at 45%.
