Fever vs Valkyries Injury Report

Gabby Williams is questionable for the Valkyries with a back contusion.
Fever vs Valkyries Prediction
The Fever are going to be favored because of their success at home. Also, the status of Gabby weighs heavily as she’s probably the most important player for Golden State. Either way, the Valkyries and the points are hard to pass up as they’ve proven they’re legit during this winning streak. The Valkyries have 7 road wins, and they’re 3-0 SU in their last 3 games as an underdog. The Valkyries beat the Fever already this season, and they’re 4-1 SU in 5 games overall against Indiana. I’d like this pick more if Gabby is cleared, but I’m going to grab the points with the Valkyries.
