Prop Bets: Golden State Valkyries VS Atlanta Dream 2025-07-29
Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Very Tired GPS)
The Atlanta Dream, fresh off a win and riding a 8-3 home record, are favored to stomp the Golden State Valkyries (-8.5, DraftKings) like a toddler on a stress ball. Why? Because the Valkyries are 3-9 on the road this season—road? More like "we’re lost, ask Google Maps." And without All-Star Kayla Thornton (knee injury), Golden State’s offense might as well be playing 4-on-5 in a pickup game at the local YMCA.
Atlanta’s Allisha Gray is the star of the show, averaging 18.7 PPG and stepping up after a rough game against the No. 1 defense. Her points prop (17.5) is a total gimme—unless she decides to take a three-pointer break, which, let’s be honest, might be her downfall. The books have her at -110 for the over, which is basically saying, “We’re 90% sure she’ll hit this unless she’s having an off-night.”
The spread? Atlanta’s -8.5 is a friendly cushion, but considering the Valkyries’ road struggles and the Dream’s 71.4% implied win probability (per DraftKings), this feels like betting on a vending machine to drop a snack. Just don’t expect any style points from Golden State—they’re 8th in the league in road ATS, but 1st in “meh, we’ll try again tomorrow.”
Player Props to Watch:
- Allisha Gray O/U 17.5 Pts: Gray’s season average (18.7) vs. her recent slump makes this a toss-up between “confident” and “meh.”
- Jordin Canada O/U 5.5 Assists: Canada’s -135 over is a sneaky pick—she’s the WNBA’s version of a Swiss Army knife, and this game needs a spark.
- Brionna Jones D/Double: At 520, it’s a long shot, but if Jones isn’t grabbing 6.5 rebounds, is anyone even trying?
Final Prediction: Atlanta wins by double digits, Gray hits her points prop, and the Valkyries’ road woes continue. The only thing more certain than this outcome is that someone will accidentally wear the wrong team’s jersey pre-game. Again.
Pick: Atlanta Dream -8.5, Allisha Gray Over 17.5 Pts.
