Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Sprinkler)
The Dallas Wings, owners of the WNBA’s worst record (9-32) and an eight-game losing streak that’s longer than their bench, will try to avoid becoming the first team ever to lose in the 21st century while playing in the 2020s. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries (22-18), fresh off a four-game win streak, will aim to keep their playoff hopes alive—preferably without needing a defibrillator.
Key Stats & Odds:
- Moneyline: Valkyries (-11.5) are a near-lock at 1.13 (implied probability: 86.4%), while Dallas (+11.5) at 5.9 (18.0%) might as well be betting on a sprinkler system to score.
- Spread: Take Golden State -11.5. Dallas’ -15.6 net rating over 12 games? That’s not a net; it’s a sieve.
- Total: Under 159.5 (-110). The teams’ season average is 160, but Dallas’ recent games have been as low-scoring as a librarian’s Twitter feed.
Player Props to Watch:
- Paige Bueckers (Dallas): Over 16.5 points (-104). Her season average is 18.9, but Dallas lost their last game with her scoring 17. Maybe the under is safer? Wait, no—this is Dallas.
- Veronica Burton (Golden State): Over 14.5 points (-102). She dropped 25 in the last meeting; if she’s not scoring 30, is the game even happening?
- First Basket: Temi Fagbenle (+470) is the top prop pick. Let’s be real: If Dallas’s Maddy Siegrist (last game: 16 points) doesn’t open with a three, the Valkyries might not need to shoot at all.
Why It’s a Lock:
Golden State is 80% when favored, Dallas 17.6% as underdogs. The Wings’ last win was July 12—coincidentally, the day the sun last shone on their playoff dreams.
Final Prediction:
Valkyries 86, Wings 73. Dallas will likely set a record for most “I told you we should’ve drafted a guard” sighs in a single game. Bet the under, but only if you enjoy watching a slow-motion car crash from the comfort of your couch.
And remember: If Bueckers hits 17 points, it’s a win for her. If the Wings hit 17 points, it’s a win for the opponent’s highlight reel.
