Valkyries vs Storm Prediction
Thick line for a Valkyries team that played yesterday, but due to the blowout, nobody logged heavy minutes. There’s also a chance the Valkyries get some players back due to conditioning. The Storm are possibly the worst offense in the league and are now on the road against an elite defense. I’m not sure where the points are going to come from. The Valkyries are also now in the running for the first overall seed with the Lynx losing last night. This should have similar vibes to Friday night’s game. I’ll lay the points with the Valkyries.
