The Golden State Valkyries are 6.5-point favorites tonight when they host the Dallas Wings for the third and final time this season.
I'm expecting a slow grind, and my Wings vs. Valkyries predictions and WNBA picks are taking this game to end Under the game total on Monday, Aug. 17.
Wings vs Valkyries prediction
Wings vs Valkyries best bet: Under 162.5 (-112)
The Golden State Valkyries play at the league’s slowest pace (91.00), while the Dallas Wings play at the second-slowest across their last five games.
That creates a brutal, half-court grind with minimal transition chances and far fewer shot attempts.
The Valkyries suffocate opponents by holding them to a league-low 62.7 field-goal attempts and 79.3 points per game on a 103.7 defensive rating.
In a low-possession game where neither team pushes the break, getting to 163 points will require unrealistic shooting efficiency.
Play the Under to 161.5.
COVERS INTEL: Across the last five games, the Valkyries boast a 103.7 Defensive NET rating, which ranks them second in the WNBA during that span. 
Wings vs Valkyries same-game parlay
Golden State’s top-ranked defense has led to victories in both prior meetings and covered the spread with plenty of margin to spare.
Veronica Burton has played a major role in the Valkyries' success, with at least six assists in four of her previous five games.
The Valkyries' defense has made life tough for Paige Bueckers to get to her spots, but she has made at least two triples in three of her previous five games, and I like at least two triples from the Wings star tonight.
