Aces vs. Valkyries Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Sunday, May 31

In their second season as a WNBA franchise, the Valkyries have enjoyed a sensational start to the 2026 season, winning five of their first seven games. Golden State is currently riding a two-game winning streak, including a 90-88 win against the Indiana Fever on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Aces had won four consecutive games before dropping back-to-back contests against the Los Angeles Sparks and Dallas Wings. In a 95-87 loss to the Wings on Thursday, the Aces allowed the Wings to shoot 49.3% from the field and were aided by a game-high 22 points from rookie G Azzi Fudd.

The Aces could be without G Jewell Lloyd, who is currently listed as questionable for Sunday’s showdown due to a leg injury. Lloyd has averaged 7.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per contest and has been a key member of the Aces’ bench this season.

The Valkyries won the inaugural meeting against the Aces, 95-68. However, Las Vegas has won the last three head-to-head matchups, while covering the spread in two of those contests.
