The Golden State Valkyries and Dallas Wings face off for the second time this season as defensive-minded teams clash at American Airlines Center tonight.

Golden State and Dallas have shown elite defensive prowess this season, and my Valkyries vs. Wings predictions call for a low-scoring game in Dallas.

Read my WNBA picks to see how I’m building a +675 SGP highlighted by two combo props and why I expect Paige Bueckers to hit the Under on her scoring line on Friday, Aug. 7.

Valkyries vs Wings prediction

Valkyries vs Wings best bet: Under 161.5 (-110)

The Golden State Valkyries have allowed the fewest points per game to opponents at a paltry 77.1, and the Dallas Wings have allowed the fourth-fewest at 85.5.

At home, the Wings have surrendered just 79.2 points with a league-best 98.8 defensive rating. On the road, the Valkyries have allowed the fewest points at just 77.8.

Dallas is 4-10 to the Under at home, and Golden State is 5-8 to the Under on the road. The Wings have gone Under 161.5 in three of their last four. Play down to 160.5.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Dallas has hit the Under at a higher percentage than any other team, reaching that mark in 54.8% of games. At 15-15, Golden State is one of only four teams hitting the Under in at least 50% of its games.

Valkyries vs Wings same-game parlay

Across her last five, Veronica Burton has averaged 24.6 PRA and hit the Over four times. She’s reached that mark in two of her last three on the road and posted 24 against the Wings.

In a low-scoring slugfest, I expect her to do the dirty work on the glass while getting teammates involved. Play to 24.5.

Jessica Shepard has recorded a double-double in 20 of 31 games, including one against Golden State. Elite defense should force plenty of misses from both teams, leading to increased rebound opportunities. 

This -160 prop is a nice addition to the parlay.
