4 Minute ReadDallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction: Can Valkyries Extend Season Series to 3-0 Against Wings on Monday Night?
Golden State hosts Dallas as a 6.5-point favorite, with the Valkyries -6.5 (-105), Wings +6.5 (-115) and the total at 162.5. Golden State enters at 24-9 and can secure a playoff spot with a victory, while Dallas sits at 20-15 and remains in the middle of a crowded postseason race.
Few WNBA teams have been more dependable than the Valkyries. Golden State has won five straight and owns the league’s No. 1 defensive rating, with Natalie Nakase’s group combining physical perimeter defense, excellent ball security and the slowest pace in the league. That identity makes it extremely difficult for inconsistent offenses to generate enough scoring runs to stay attached.

Dallas Wings vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction
The Valkyries most recently crushed Chicago 91-71 despite playing without multiple rotation pieces. Tiffany Hayes scored a season-high 22 points in just 17 minutes, while Golden State forced turnovers throughout the night and finished with a franchise-record 16 steals.
Dallas remains dangerous because Paige Bueckers can take over virtually any matchup. She scored 29 points with six rebounds and six assists Friday against Indiana, but the Wings still lost 98-87 and have now dropped seven of their past 10 games. Azzi Fudd has also missed multiple recent games with knee soreness, adding another complication for an offense already struggling with consistency.
The season series has been completely controlled by Golden State. The Valkyries won the first matchup 91-80 on June 17 and followed with a 94-76 road victory on August 7, giving them a 2-0 record against Dallas with both wins coming by double digits. Veronica Burton scored 22 points in the most recent meeting, while Gabby Williams added 19.
That history matters because Dallas’ volatility becomes especially problematic against this particular opponent. The Wings can look dangerous offensively for stretches, but Golden State rarely gives teams easy possessions and has already demonstrated twice that it can steadily create separation over four quarters.

The -6.5 spread is still below the margin Golden State produced in either previous meeting. With the Valkyries riding a five-game winning streak, defending Chase Center and facing a Dallas team that has struggled against stronger playoff-caliber opposition, there is enough value to follow the same matchup advantage for a third time.
